Judge Rules Use of "God" Ok at Inauguration
It's appalling to me that some judge has to make a ruling to allow what is already a part of our national history and heritage. Check out the Declaration of Independence! References to God abound throughout the writings and speeches of our founders. So, the idea that everyone's just been given the "okay" is absurd!

"Walton ruled that he did not have the power to prevent Obama from making such references or inviting ministers on stage to offer prayers."
The headline is misleading, so there's really no reason to be appalled. Denying an injunction is different from "giving the ok."
Also, I called your show again today, but since I had gotten on the air last week, I decided to just pass along the message through your call screener. Just to make sure you get it, I'll repeat it here. It's been a little frustrating and embarrassing that Republicans and conservatives in the radio medium have such a difficult time understanding the point about Obama's name. Here's an example. There's a very famous Houstonian whose name was Ima Hogg. When she said her name, it was just her name. But if someone says her name and giggles about it, it's insulting. It's really very simple and prentending that one isn't able to understand that is just silly.
On behalf of King oBongo, though, I do have to commend him for including "so help me G-d" in his Oath for the Office of the Presidency. Yes, of course Lores is right that such a thing should be treated as a given, but remember that oBongo is the most left-wing candidate ever elected President, and so for him, this was a noble sacrifice for him to make.
The Ima Hogg example seems to have been lost on you. But that no surprize given the childish way you refer to people (or fail to).
