Is Saying 'God' Now Unconstitutional?

By, TJ Madison

Here we are one week from the Presidential Inauguration, and I find it humorous what people will find time to get worked up about.

"I do solemnly swear that I will faithfully execute the Office of President of the United States and will, to the best of my ability, preserve, protect, and defend the Constitution of the United States... So help me God."

Now, if you were an intelligent American, is there any possible way, you could have a problem with any of the words in the Presidential Oath?

Well, they found an idiot that does.

With everything that's going on in this country right now, trillion dollar deficits, a war on two fronts and a long recession ahead of us, there's an atheist activist, Michael Nenow, that has made it it his own personal crusade to remove the words, "So help me God", from the January 20th inauguration of Barack Hussein Obama. A U.S. District Court Judge will actually hear this frivolous lawsuit next week.

If anything, some American should sue the President-elect, citing that his campaign promises are a direct contrast of that entire Oath. Every promise Obama has made about education, health-care, the environment and several others are, by definition, unconstitutional.

I challenge any leftist to find the words: education, health-care or the environment in the Constitution. And when you can't find them, refer to the Tenth Amendment, "...powers that the Constitution did not delegate to the United States or prohibit to the states were reserved to the States respectively, or to the people."

Nenow's ultimate goal, of course, is to rid the entire public square of all things religious. While citing the 'separation of Church and state' mantra, so frequently used by the godless socialists of the left; a mantra that is not in the Constitution, Bill of Rights, Declaration of Independence or any other important historical document.

For the record, even though I do not attend church regularly, I strongly believe in God, and I don't have any problem with atheists-- as long as they have a love for individual liberty and free markets.

Groups like the American Civil Liberties Union have a lot of card-carrying members in the libertarian movement and that's fine. Though I will never understand why, seeing that the ACLU is a fraud and is no friend of liberty. Those libertarians may see it a little different however, they choose to ignore the nation our Founders wanted.

It is clear that the Founders did not want a Theocracy. However, by ACLU 'standards' of today, the Declaration of Independence could never had been ratified in it's current form with a word like 'Creator' included.

In fact, every session of Congress begins with a prayer by a preacher, who has been financially compensated by the taxpayer since 1777. So ask yourself this: if the Men who actually wrote the Constitution didn't have a problem with a paid preacher, why in the world would it be deemed unconstitutional to utter the words 'So help me God' in an inauguration?

It's not unconstitutional. It's just ridiculous and petty, like the entire leftist movement.
