Liberals do not like the "under God" line in it. After all.... they think they are gods and do not want to be reminded that here is one and they are not him. Then, they might have to humle themselves before Him.

Your entire post is not factual or comprehensible. You never give a source, or explain what the pledge is, or clarify "ban". The pledge of allegiance is not banned in the state of California. You are talking about some story dealing with a school banning using it before meetings. And most liberals don't give a crap about that.
But I'm sure your bad question and post will draw some nice hate speech directed toward liberals, which is what you were really trying to achieve, right?

1954, Congress after a campaign by the Knights of Columbus, added the words, 'under God,' to the Pledge. The Pledge was now both a patriotic oath and a public prayer.
Bellamy's granddaughter said he also would have resented this second change. He had been pressured into leaving his church in 1891 because of his socialist sermons. In his retirement in Florida, he stopped attending church because he disliked the racial bigotry he found there.
What follows is Bellamy's own account of some of the thoughts that went through his mind in August, 1892, as he picked the words of his Pledge:
It began as an intensive communing with salient points of our national history, from the Declaration of Independence onwards; with the makings of the Constitution...with the meaning of the Civil War; with the aspiration of the people...
The true reason for allegiance to the Flag is the 'republic for which it stands.' ...And what does that vast thing, the Republic mean? It is the concise political word for the Nation - the One Nation which the Civil War was fought to prove. To make that One Nation idea clear, we must specify that it is indivisible, as Webster and Lincoln used to repeat in their great speeches. And its future?
Just here arose the temptation of the historic slogan of the French Revolution which meant so much to Jefferson and his friends, 'Liberty, equality, fraternity.' No, that would be too fanciful, too many thousands of years off in realization. But we as a nation do stand square on the doctrine of liberty and justice for all

Who are these liberals who banned the pledge in California? What pledge are you talking about? When did the liberals ban the pledge? I can't answer your question unless you provide some facts.

Scuse me? According to the 1st Amendment, It is illegal to ban the pledge of anything. It is also illegal to REQUIRE anyone to take such a pledge. If you don't like it, start a drive to change the 1st Amendment.
So many people say untrue extreme things to get attention for their causes.. Prayer is not banned in schools; forced prayer is. Private expression of religious beliefs is not banned on Government Property, but public support & expression is.
I know we have a lot of inconsistencies in our country. If you want to know the reason the Constitution forbids the establishment of a state religion, read the history of the early settlers in this country. Short version: They came here to escape the persecution from the majority religion of their home countries. Once here, they displayed the same cruelty toward those who did not believe & practice their own narrow religious views. In both cases, the persecuting & most of the persecuted groups were all calling themselves Christians. Almost all Christian groups persecuted the Native Americans, Blacks, & Jews, each group of which its own faith. Most of the founding fathers were Christians who knew their history & did not want it repeated.
Whether liberal or conservative, extremism hurts the cause. The difference? Until both sides moderate, I will continue to be a moderate leaning toward the side that offers all of us more freedom of choice, which is currently the liberals.

*sigh*
They did not "ban" the pledge "in California." A community college student council has voted not to do the pledge at their meetings. You should have read the whole story.

You mean a handful of students at obscure Orange Coast College in California?
Yes, it's part of the Democrats' master plan. They decided OCC was the optimal place to start. Next week it'll be Pasadena City College, then the world!
Waaaaaaa haaaaaa haaaaaa haaaaaaaa!

Yeah create a main issue then arise with an answer. Its referred to as the desktop. The desktop demands to preserve turning to create gains. A well analogy might be throwing anybody right into a lake that can not swim after which leaping in to avoid wasting them. You recklessly endanger then you definately come to be a hero. Have you obvious the record of ways regularly the ACLU throws Christians into the lake?

Um...I think it's because the pledge has "God" in it. But more importantly I don't think kids should have to say the pledge every friggin day!!! Maybe one a year or at special occasions but EVERY day? To me that's excessive.
