Underwhelmed

Newdow done. Reagan and Iraq -- by all means. More from the Eastern Front. Plus: Teddy’s nemesis. Air Farce One. Bad Sam.
p> ABOVE GOD br> Re: Tracy Robinson's A Newdow Is Dawning : /p>

A couple of questions for the Michael Newdows of the world: What, pray tell, is the precise religion that the government is attempting to establish by having your child recite "under God." Catholicism? Greek Orthodoxy? Any of a dozen Protestant sects? Islam? If no single one of the above, or any other, then the Pledge does not offend against the non-establishment clause.

p>(What is wrong with me that this seems so clear-as-sunlight? Am I as primitive and simplistic in my thinking as the Founding Fathers? Isn't this finally all about hatred of God, anything spiritual, transcendent?) May the Supreme Court somehow cease their fine legalistic sidestepping, and find time and the backbone to keep the Newdows of the country from inflicting their impoverished, banal world view on the rest of us, and our children. br> -- J. Erickson br> Davidson, North Carolina /p> p> The Supreme Court is politically astute. They sidestepped this issue until after the election. The four liberals did not want to give evangelicals another reason to make sure they got to the polls. It's up to the Bush people to let them know the "issue" is not dead. br> -- Annette Cwik
