THE ESSAY COPIED BELOW IS NOT MEANT TO RUFFLE ANYONE'S FEATHERS BUT AGAIN TO PROVIDE SOME FOOD FOR THOUGHT ABOUT THE CURRENT STATE OF AFFAIRS IN THESE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA----LAND THAT I AM EXTREMELY PROUD TO LOVE! THE ESSAY WAS PROVIDED BY A RETIRED NURSE FRIEND VIA THE INTERNET.
THE LAW IS THE LAW
So, if the US government determines that it is against the law for the words "Under God" to be on our money, then, so be it.
And if that same Government decides that the "Ten Commandments" are not to be used in or on a Government installation, then, so be it.
And since they already have prohibited any prayer in the schools, on which they deem their authority, then so be it.
I say, "so be it," because I am a law abiding US citizen.
I say, "so be it," because I would like to think that smarter people than I are in positions to make good decisions.
I would like to think that those people have the American People's best interests at heart.
BUT, YOU KNOW WHAT ELSE I'D LIKE?
Since we can't pray to God, can't Trust in God and cannot Post His Commandments in Government buildings,
I don't believe the Government and it's employees should participate in the Easter and Christmas celebrations which honor the God that our Government is eliminating from so many facets of American life.
I'd like my mail delivered on Christmas, Good Friday & Easter.
After all, it's just another day.
I'd like the US Supreme Court to be in session on Christmas, Good Friday & Easter as well as Sundays.
After all, it's just another day.
I'd like the Senate and the House of Representatives not have to worry about getting home for the "Christmas Break."
After all it's just another day.
I'm thinking that a lot of my taxpayer dollars could be saved if all government offices & services would work on Christmas, Good Friday & Easter.
It shouldn't cost any overtime since those would be just like any other day of the week to a government that is trying to be "politically correct."
In fact.... I think that our government should work on Sundays (initially set aside for worshiping God...) because, after all, our government says that it should be just another day.
What do you all think?
If this idea gets to enough people, maybe our elected officials will stop giving in to the minority opinions and begin once again, to represent the majority of ALL of the American people.
