I believe nder God should remain in the Pledge of Allegiance
If you do not wish to Pray and do not wish to say the Pledge that is fine with me but don't deny rights to those who wish to do so.
The right to refuse to say the Pledge was established in 1945 when Jehovah's Witnesses refused to say the Pledge not to be Unpatriotic but because they believe allegiance belongs to Jehovah God and no one else.
In fact after 9-11 when Jehovah's Witnesses were asked on the News about Patriotism they said "we are patriotic by obeying Caesar (the Govt) to the best of our ability."
Now if ya notice 1945 was when the right to refuse to say the Pledge was established you should also note that it was in 1954 when Congress added Under God to the Pledge (this was 9 years after the right to refuse to say it was already established by a fair ruling in the Supreme Court that did not ban the Pledge but rather said you can refuse to say it).
Many people know about the 1963 ruling banning Prayer in Public Schools but few know that in 1993 the Supreme Court restored a thing called Voluntary Prayer.
I believe in Creation not Evolution, I believe that if a School is gonna teach Evolution they should teach it as Theory not fact.
I also believe Public Schools should allow for Creation and Evolution to be optional courses in Schools (allowing students to decide which they would study).
I believe Homosexuality is a SIn and I thus oppose Gay Marriage.
I do hold a don't ask don't tell policy on the Homosexuality issue so thus I will never ask anyone if they are a Homosexual (not even if I suspect they are) and im not going to stop any Gays from holding a Fake Wedding in their own Home but I will not be forced to approve of Homosexuality and I will not be forced to approve of Gay Marriage not now not ever.
Even though I disapprove of Homosexuality I do not approve of the whole God Hates Fags thing from Fred Phelps (everyone deserves a chance to repent of their Sins regardless of what the Sin is).
I believe in the right to keep and bear Arms, I think if you wanna ban Guns then you are wanting to be sealed up in a Concentration Camp (sorry to say that but Hitler confiscated Firearms and stuffed people into Concentration Camps, loads of Democrats wanna do the same but they can't till Guns are taken from Civilians).
I am opposed to Abortion except for Threat to a Mother's Life, however I am willing to allow Abortion to be legal in cases of Rape in a compromise deal on banning most Abortions and what exceptions are allowed.
I think the Democrats do not really stand up for the Little guy at all especially the very rich ones who moan and groan that the Republicans care only for the rich when in reality the Republicans know that raising Taxes will not make the Rich pay more Taxes because the Rich hire Lawyers and Accountants to lower their Taxes.
Not to mention the Rich already make contributions to a good chunk of the Tax Pool anyways considering they have the most Money.
I am also sick of hearing that all the Republicans are Rich Whites when #1 not all Republicans are White, ok yes im White but im like gee I didn't know that being a White Republican means you are Rich, if that is the case show me the Bank account with my alleged Wealth.
Last I checked Colin Powell and Condi Rice are not the only Black Republicans there are many more Black Republicans who all wrongfully get called Tyrants only because these Black Republicans have truly freed themselves from the shackles of Slavery that were foisted upon their Ancestors.

It's interesting that the two different major political parties seem to focus on different areas of the Constitution.
In the Preamble, it talks about forming the union to "ensure domestic Tranquility, provide for the common Defense, promote the general Welfare and secure the blessings of Liberty".
Republicans seem to value the former two, tranquility and defense, even if that means infringing on civil liberties. It's an ends-justify-the-means approach.
Surprisingly, for a party that started out advocating smaller government and less regulation, the recent trend (over the past decade or two) has been to regulate as much as possible, especially in the areas of enforcing 'moral standards' -- all for the purpose of ensuring domestic Tranquility.
The same can be said for a party that started out wanting smaller government and less government spending, but has increased the deficit more than anyone else, primarily in the name of Defense. And the party that started off saying there shouldn't be a federal Dept of Education launched the largest national educational standards campaigns of the past couple of decades.
I wonder, are those goals worth abandoning the principles upon which the party was founded? Do the ends really justify the means if the means used defeat the purpose the Republican party was founded?
This is perhaps why there is such a split between Right-Wing Republicans and those who are Fiscal Moderates. Between those who want the party to back to its roots, advocating smaller government, less spending and less regulation, as opposed to those who want to take advantage of the fact that they are temporarily in the majority, to advance as much of their agenda as possible, regardless of the means and the costs?
I think the strongest thing the Republican party has going for it, despite having lost any sense of the proper way to achieve its goals is that (unlike the Democrats) the party still has its own goals.
Now, the question becomes, do those goals justify the means, especially where the means violate the basic principles upon which the party was founded?

Honestly, I say reside and allow reside. I consider that whether or not you appear at it by way of the eyes of faith or evolution there may be some thing flawed approximately it. I consider it's extra of a kind of a intellectual sickness. This being stated, I have many peers who're homosexual and I keep no sick will or pass judgement on them for it. People have bizarre fetishes & needs and I consider that homosexuality is solely an additional kind of that. I recognize that this may increasingly enrage a few within the homosexual group, however I comprehend it can not be a option in view that who might pick a existence as an outcast? You gotta admit, whether or not it is God's legislation or Darwin's legislation homosexuality does not make experience.

Thanks for the question. First, kill the bad guys! What is so hard about that solution? Give money to the rich as promised. (daaaaaa) The only good kid is an uneducated one. Really, do you want them reading that smote? If there is any doubt at all, count on hatred, vindictiveness, distrust, lies, and cheating, like your father taught you. And the best rule of all is called the Rove Rule. "Never, ever, tell the true!" They can't handle the truth George!

Clean and safe environment using common sense and not by expanding pollution credits polity to major polluters creating an industry for the right to pollute.
Rights of an individual over a group of people based of their color race or background. It's to easy to create groups of people and then pit them against each other for political gain or control of the population.
Protect the culture of the USA, the excuse that we are a melting pot has been long overused and it has only melted away our sense of morals justice and common respect for each other.
Protect and defend our borders, without borders to define a country you simply don't have one.

I'm not a Republican, I can't vote yet but I am better informed than the adults that can. They are big brother that wants to tell us what to do. They are for big business and they don't care how many of us have to die to make them rich.
They are not for helping people but themselves.

The topic is too broad, can you be more specific other than politics?
Thanks.
