Atheists' patriotic billboards: "a disgrace"
"An Atheists of Florida billboard stands along U.S. 98, across from VFW Post 8002. Vietnam veteran David Kissell thinks it's a disgrace to our country.
'Our nation was formed under God and its principles and it's a shame we allow this to happen in our neighborhoods,' Kissell told FOX 13."

Hope the forum goes well! I think you folks in the Bible Belt are brave.
By the way... anyone questioning the patriotism of the folks who paid for/promote these billboards are going to look like fools.

My question is would it be against the law to say the pledge w/o the god mention?
Seems it's just a monopoly that's fading like the majority of fear-based-monopolies do.
