According to CNN, the Republicans are already producing campaign ads featuring the pledge and "one nation under god."

Wonderful.

It's from the band Bad Religion, whom I've had on constant rotation today. The song was supposed to be sarcastic; like most good satire, though, it cuts a little too close to the truth ...

I was born on planet earth
at a drastic time full of plastic mirth
and everyday I've seen increasing signs
and you would too if you'd opened your eyes
you had a chance you did not try
so now it's time to watch it die

I don't know what stopped
Jesus Christ from turning
every hungry stone into bread
and i don't remember hearing
how Moses reacted
when the innocent first born sons
lay dead
Well I guess
God was a lot more demonstrative
back when he
flamboyantly parted the sea
now everybody's praying
Don't pray on me

A federal appeals court judge in San Francisco put his controversial Pledge of Allegiance ruling on hold Thursday. Judge Alfred Goodwin was the author of the 2-1 ruling calling the phrase �under God� unconstitutional. He has now stayed his decision, which will prevent it from taking effect until the complete Ninth U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals decides whether it agrees.

Ay!
Don't you know the place you live's a piece of shit?
Don't you know blind faith in life will conquer it?
Don't you know responsibility is ours?
I don't care a think about eternal fires.
Listen this time, it's more than a rhyme,
It's your indecision.
Your indecision is your
Bad religion, too good to take.
Indecision, it's not too late.
Bad religion, too good to take.
Indecision, it's not too late.
Bad religion, bad religion,
Bad religion.

There's people in the world today
Who say they're Jewish, Christian and such,
They're all ignorant fools.

They'll tell you you can't have your own way
unless you pay money and dedicate your life
Or you'll be damned in hell.

Don't be feeble like all of them,
You have your own brain full of thoughts and choices,
So use it don't let them use you.

Isn't it heartwarming to watch children being indoctrinated? Got to get all the God-talk crammed in there before they grow a fully functional brain.
