Nifty, Nifty...LOOK what's FIFTY!

Today was the first day back to school for many in my area and it made me think about how much our society has changed. Primarily our school system was the first thought to creep into my mind as I was driving to work this morning, noticing all of the children standing in line waiting on that big yellow bus to carry them away to an Institute of Higher Liberal learning.

Seeing these children, ages 6-13 years old, made me reminisce to the days of old. I remember being giddy the night before school started, being unable to sleep, or even count sheep because the sheep were just as excited as I was. Going into school on that first day was so exhilarating, seeing friends that you had not seen in what seemed like for years, but was only really a couple of months. And then that first bell would rang and we would assemble together in our classes, stand by our pre-determined desk and gaze at the most beautiful object ever. The American Flag. Then all in unisons we would recite the "Pledge of Allegiance".

Great memories, but unfortunately my children nor yours will ever have the joys that we had growing up. Being an American was something to be proud of and now our children are taught that we are the big, bad bully. They have taken the words "under God" out of our schools and this made me think about the motto that is on our paper currency, "In God We Trust" and in fact, recently President George W. Bush gave a speech pertaining to this topic and how this motto celebrated its 50th year of being in existence.

I hope you enjoy the speech.

On the 50th anniversary of our national motto, "In God We Trust," we reflect on these words that guide millions of Americans, recognize the blessings of the Creator, and offer our thanks for His great gift of liberty.

From its earliest days, the United States has been a Nation of faith. During the War of 1812, as the morning light revealed that the battle-torn American flag still flew above Fort McHenry, Francis Scott Key penned, "And this be our motto: 'In God is our trust!'" His poem became our National Anthem, reminding generations of Americans to "Praise the Power that hath made and preserved us a nation." On July 30, 1956, President Dwight Eisenhower signed the law officially establishing "In God We Trust" as our national motto.

Today, our country stands strong as a beacon of religious freedom. Our citizens, whatever their faith or background, worship freely and millions answer the universal call to love their neighbor and serve a cause greater than self.

As we commemorate the 50th anniversary of our national motto and remember with thanksgiving God's mercies throughout our history, we recognize a divine plan that stands above all human plans and continue to seek His will.

NOW, THEREFORE, I, GEORGE W. BUSH, President of the United States of America, do hereby proclaim July 30, 2006, as the 50th Anniversary of our National Motto, "In God We Trust." I call upon the people of the United States to observe this day with appropriate programs, ceremonies, and activities.

IN WITNESS WHEREOF, I have hereunto set my hand this twenty-seventh day of July, in the year of our Lord two thousand six, and of the Independence of the United States of America the two hundred and thirty-first.

Hopefully "In God We Trust will be around for another 50 years minimum, that is, as long as the Liberals do not have their way. It is a shame that our children are being guided by a misled group of our society. It is becoming known more and more each day that Conservatives are the silent majority, and Educators of our school systems are corrupting the young minds because they (Educators) typically have the Liberal mindset.

We live in a day and age that the School Administration picks and chooses the learning topics for our youth, for our children. Sadly enough the topics chosen are of a Liberal-bias and each and every pupil is being spoon-fed this misinformation in textbooks, magazines and even school newspapers. Before you go asking stupid questions though, In God We Trust, does deal with the aspect of a higher authority, a God. Except Liberals want to make the argument that we do not need to mention this word because it could offend someone. What about our children being taught about Allah in history and diversity classes, but no mention about Jesus Christ? When I read or hear, In God We Trust, it makes me proud to be an American and it brings back memories of being in that rural classroom PROUDLY saying, "One Nation Under GOD". To me, this country was based upon one God, the Alpha and Omega. Except Liberals do not want to remember this aspect of our History.
