what are some people thinking? Are they? Who knows in this day and age?

The Fox news has been reporting all week about a Principal in one of the inner city schools in New York is not allowing the Lee Greenwood song, God bless the USA.  Originally she had problems with it because it was too adult for the kindergartners who were to sing it.  It had been used by upper grades in the same school but she wouldn't allow the kindergartner to sing it.  They did state the she is a Jehovah witness and has personal issues with the song.  She told the kindergarten class they could sing Justin Beibers "baby baby baby" song.  Really since when is it better for kindergartner to sing about teen age dating than about a man honoring the lives that were given to give us the rights in this country.  The right I might add to ban a song.  She has since recanted and re chose a song.  She now says the song was offensive to some cultures.  She is now allowing a whole list of songs to be sang trying to pander to all the cultures though still not allowing "God bless the USA'.  Sad. 

I find it funny that when people that think their agenda is more important than the agenda's of all the rest of us the say "well God is Christan"  I bet they didn't ask all the "cultures" that aren't christian what they call their supreme being then.  Oh, I forgot they were taking into consideration the ones that don't believe in anything.  Well why should all the other cultures bow down to the ones that don't believe in anything.  Why is the answer if it offends the minority why do the majority have to be subjected to the rule of the minority?  Why is a moment of silence, to do with as you want, always have to be prayer.  Why can't the ones that do pray be allowed to pray and the ones who don't, why should we deny them those few minutes that they might like to make a grocery list. 

Last night I caught an episode of Chopped.  There was a young chef on the show who was from Pakistan and she was proudly Islamic, during one of her courses she said "God, Please let my bread pudding set."  Ok, so I might be stupid but I would bet money she wasn't praying to a christian God.  She therefore, in the moment, was asking a pray to her God.  So where do the nay sayers of God in our communities get off assuming that the term God always implies a Christian connotation.  By the way, her God did answer her pray, no the pudding didn't set but she won the 10,000 dollars.  I digress.

I notice on the news this morning some group has decided the the bible should no longer be allowed on military bases.  It is terrorist material.  Really?  I am glad that some where someone died holding their bible in their hand, because the service provides them, and services of all faiths, to the soldier so they may pray to their god, so this group had the right to exist and are so self serving that they don't know how lucky they are to be allow to complain about their rights being stepped on.  The original term for bible was an account or a discourse.  So I would assume that that would include many books,  It was also include many of the different religions bibles.  Aren't the Bible, the Koran, the Quran,the Tanakh, the Torah, all bibles in the since of the original word? Aren't they all accounting of the lives of their spiritual leaders?  Aren't they all a discourses from their God's words?   I hope that somewhere some one gets some sense before this country allows people to twist our rights right out of our lives.  I did hear a glimmer of hope recently.  Somewhere in the south a Govern has stood up and said prayer should be allowed in the school.  I also heard the the statistics are turning, 50 some years ago to court case took bible reading and prayer out of school but in the 90's and now schools and government building, well not so much the building itself but, are fighting back and allowing the inclusion for prayers at Graduations and why can't the 10 commandments stand in front of the building, the place next to it can be the sacred writes of any other religion just get yours together and put it there.  So why can't inclusion be the way of our rights, why is it always that we are forced into seclusion's.  Why should nothing be the answer so the atheists can be allowed their rights at the expense of all other beliefs.  I vote for inclusion and let the people decide for themselves.  So let Lee Greenwood's song stand, 10 years ago it was almost our new anthem and now 10 short years later a Principal from "New York, mind you" has already forgotten..... so sad.... tomorrow.
