We are not a theocracy. Trying reading the First Amendment to the U.S. Constitution. It is unconstitutional to have a government religion. That wording was put into the pledge in the 1950s.in response to the anti-communist hysteria.

What religion is established by the words “Under God” ?

If you know nothing about the First Amendment to the U.S. Constitution, you should never invoke it.

How does that matter, exactly which religion? Simply invoking “God” is implicit to religion, is it not?

FYI: When the Pledge of Allegiance was written, “Under God” was never part of it. More than sixty years after the Pledge of Allegiance was written, “Under God” was officially stuffed into it by a Republican controlled House and a Republican controlled Senate and signed into law by a Republican president.

Go figure.

Can’t tell the difference between Fox and the Hackers who hacked it.

Actually, ADDING “under God” was the insult. The author of the Pledge, a Baptist minister in 1892, specifically said that no one was to tamper with the wording of his pledge, which contained no mention of God–logically enough, as the pledge was to the flag, not to Allah. The “under God” part was brought in during the McCarthy era (1954) at the urging of the Catholic Knights of Columbus. Maybe they thought they were getting in a dig at the Baptists that way, who knows? At any rate, adding anything to the Pledge was a direct insult to its author. Next thing you know, Bachmann will be re-writing the Declaration of Independence, and her minions will be on Wikipedia altering Jefferson’s words to conform with hers. Teabaggers are like that.

jakester said:

True. Except that the “John Bircher forefathers” in this case was (D) Rep. Louis C. Rabaut of Michigan .
______

“At the suggestion of a correspondent, Representative Louis C. Rabaut of Michigan (D) sponsored a resolution to add the words “under God” to the Pledge in 1953.”

“You may argue from dawn to dusk about differing political, economic, and social systems, but the fundamental issue which is the unbridgeable gap between America and Communist Russia is a belief in Almighty God. From the root of atheism stems the evil weed of communism and its branches of materialism and political dictatorship. Unless we are willing to affirm our belief in the existence of God and His creator-creature relation to man, we drop man himself to the significance of a grain of sand and open the floodgates to tyranny and oppression”

No, not exactly.

It was Republican Rep. Charles Oakman (R-Mich.) who introduced the bill in February 1954 to stick “Under God” into the Pledge of Allegiance. The Republican controlled House and the Republican controlled Senate passed it and sent it to the Republican president (Eisenhower), who signed it into law in February 1954.

The point is that the right wing theocon who started this thread by whining about how there is something wrong that the this Twitter hacking story got attention but the triviality about the pledge on NBC’s site didn’t was being a total ninny. Anyone who thinks those two stories are remotely equal has the poorest judgment and non existent reasoning powers. Also, who cares about it or who introduced it or his party affiliation back in the 1950s? It is a non issue.

Why do you lefties have such a hard time when conservatives post here? This is a left leaning baord, like all media is left leaning. I come on to express my opinions about the news of the day, just like lefties do here.

But I get attacked because I’m conservative…..

And the NBC intentionally editing out children saying “Under God” is a story that mediaite and most of the lamestream media failed to discuss, despite the numerous emails that NBC recevied for their outrageous slight.

It was more newsworthy than this twitter hack, imho, because NBC got a crap load of grief for it, deservedly so.

That changes that Representative Louis C. Rabaut of Michigan (D) was the first to propose legisaltive change / intervention how exactly ?
___
On April 20, 1953, prompted by a letter from Brooklyn resident H. Joseph Mahoney, Rabaut submitted a resolution to amend the Pledge of Allegiance with the words “under God”. The practice had been adopted several years earlier by the Knights of Columbus. Rabaut’s bill was the first of many similar efforts, culminating in Representative Charles Oakman and Senator Homer Ferguson’s joint resolution in 1954. Speaking in support of the bill, Rabaut said:

(fyi it was the same 83rd congress and President )

A fake assassination report about President Obama sounds more like sick and twisted teabagger “humor” than “leftist” hackers, in my opinion.

Since everybody is talking about going back to the original pledgeof allegiance.
Then maybe, on this day of our nations birth, we should go back to the origional national anthem.

Oh, say can you see by the dawn’s early light
What so proudly we hailed at the twilight’s last gleaming?
Whose broad stripes and bright stars thru the perilous fight,
O’er the ramparts we watched were so gallantly streaming?
And the rocket’s red glare, the bombs bursting in air,
Gave proof through the night that our flag was still there.
Oh, say does that star-spangled banner yet wave
O’er the land of the free and the home of the brave?

On the shore, dimly seen through the mists of the deep,
Where the foe’s haughty host in dread silence reposes,
What is that which the breeze, o’er the towering steep,
As it fitfully blows, half conceals, half discloses?
Now it catches the gleam of the morning’s first beam,
In full glory reflected now shines in the stream:
‘Tis the star-spangled banner! Oh long may it wave
O’er the land of the free and the home of the brave!

And where is that band who so vauntingly swore
That the havoc of war and the battle’s confusion,
A home and a country should leave us no more!
Their blood has washed out their foul footsteps’ pollution.
No refuge could save the hireling and slave
From the terror of flight, or the gloom of the grave:
And the star-spangled banner in triumph doth wave
O’er the land of the free and the home of the brave!

Oh! thus be it ever, when freemen shall stand
Between their loved home and the war’s desolation!
Blest with victory and peace, may the heav’n rescued land
Praise the Power that hath made and preserved us a nation.
Then conquer we must, when our cause it is just,
And this be our motto: “In God is our trust.”
And the star-spangled banner in triumph shall wave
O’er the land of the free and the home of the brave!

Good quote from Adam Pack in his follow-up to Stony Brook’s “Think”;

And because we’ve already gotten questions from curious readers about it, I find it necessary to state for the record that neither myself nor anyone else from Think Magazine was aware of what was going to happen before it did. We do not know the identity of The Script Kiddies, nor would be divulge their identities if we did. I happened to be at the right place at the right time, that is all.

He’s got his personal CYA in there, then adds a stand for journalistic ethics as good measure.

When it came to #Weinergate, I tried to be pretty consistent with my kudos to Andrew Breitbart for being at his kitchen island on a Friday night and I extend the same congrats to Mr. Peck for being on Twitter during a holiday weekend. Also, a good word should probably be extended to both outlets for being able to take advantage of the 24/7 news cycle offered by the web.

I’m sure you meant to back up that slanderous statement, liberal moron.

One more (because I’m late to the game)…

Much is being made online because there was a delay in deleting the tweets.

If (as reported), the @FoxNewsPolitics account was “hacked” and FNC was locked-out because someone had changed the password via email, first Twitter would have to verify that there had been a hack and that they were turning the keys over to the proper person. They apparently have procedures they follow and the fact that it was early on a Sunday morning on a holiday weekend, plus the time difference between the two coasts may have added to the delay.

Also, I noted a couple of times during the early stages of Weinergate (back when a hack was still a possibility), it appears that no one has ever been arrested for “hacking” a Twitter and indications are that Twitter may not retain IP addresses. Of course, I’m sure these hackers used a series of proxies to cover their steps, but the possibility exists that law enforcement may have requested a delay in locking-out the hackers in hopes of getting a “backtrace” on any later tweets.

I really don’t think, despite the Twitter railings of some fairly big names, FNC would’ve delayed deleting the tweets after regaining access and because Twitter didn’t delete them or suspend the account while they were trying to verify the user, it seems that the delay was due to other factors in my opinion.

That sounds like the same anthem we hear before every sporting event in the country. If you meant to insist that all 4 verses be sung whenever it’s played, I’ll bet it wouldn’t take long to drop playing *any* of it before/during/after sporting or public events.

A very sad 4th for Fox indeed. They get a story they’ve dreamed of posted on their Twitter account and it’s not real. Too bad for Fox, 4 more years, 4 more years, 4 more years!

Anything that has the word “God” in it is pure gold for a little mind like today’s average irrational con. Guess what, the Brits were Christians too and according to their Church, God was on their side too. But maybe God had a different idea on the east side of the Atlantic than the west side, since there is nothing in the Bible that matches anything in the Bill of Rights

Really? What religion is God?

One thing is for sure:

If it turns out the hacker is a lefty, the story will be dropped; there will only be follow-up if it turns out the hacker s a conservative.

lefties are allowed to do this and when they do, other lefties circle them with love and protection.

“The hacking is being investigated, and FoxNews.com regrets any distress the false tweets may have created.”

Belive me, Fox, it created more happiness than distress, for the Patriotic Hard Working American Tax Payer, at least. I’m sure some of the welfare bunnies, who are waiting on that big check Obambi promised them, will most likely be distressed, but no one else. Oh well, guess we will have to wait until we kick his worthless butt out in 2012, dammit! I was ready to celebrate!

Breaking News! The news room goes wild! You’ve never seen a hotter, sexier, Republican opinionated news broadcast like this! Who says conservatives don’t get down and dirty?

When one thinks about how dangerous an erroneous (hacked) message might be with respect to law enforcement or national security, the stuff of nightmares begins to emerge. Had such a tweet been sent to, say, the Capitol Police from, say, Secret Service, describing a mythical assassin, someone may well have lost thier life. Ultimately, I believe more serious penalties must be metted out to those who hack communications systems and computers. Hell, even a war could be started by such actions.
