Everyone was given the same copy of the speech and everyone read the speech verbatim. Everyone except our current President. His version omits the use of "under God." I don't really find this a big deal Gene. But, If this is some kind of Politcal Correctness, then i'm just tired. It's already that time of year, where Christmas is outlawed near schools and in some town displays, the pledge is challenged in classrooms, any school with an American Indian needs to be replaced, and lately I have been hearing that The Star Spangled Banner is being attacked at sporting events. Calling it a War Anthem. " Any man who thinks he can be happy and prosperous by letting the American Government take care of him; better take a closer look at the American Indian." - Henry Ford |
