The Pledge of Allegiance - - Unconstitutional?

The Pledge of Allegiance, a time honored American tradition, has yet again, been ruled as UNconstitutional, this time by U.S. District Judge Lawrence Karlton. This is the second time the Sacramento atheist Michael Newdow, has brought this issue before the court. He has been trying for five years to remove the pledge from public classrooms.
What is it that bothers you, you intolerable prig? Is it the part about declaring allegiance with the United States? Maybe it is the part about liberty and justice for all? Perhaps it's the part about God? What you must understand is that The United States was founded by people who just happened to consider it "one nation, under God". In 1954 these very words were added to distinguish the US way of life from that of the atheist communist regime of the USSR. As much as you may dislike it, you can't rewrite history. You don't believe in God. That's fine. Stop trying to shove your lack of beliefs down my throat.
The last time I checked, it was NOT mandatory for school children to actually say The Pledge of Allegiance. It would be perfectly acceptable to stand silently. I am not sure what part of that is unconstitutional. Isn't outlawing it violating the First Amendment protection over abridging the freedom of speech?

The First Amendment states;

"Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances."

It seems to me that only the Senate and House of Representatives are restricted from making laws respecting religion, freedom of speech, and the right to peaceably assemble. It would stand to reason then that anyone else, including the venerable Lawrence Karlton, would have the right and duty to make rulings over these things. I am sure that Mr. Newdow would approve of outlawing all forms of civic traditions. Let's outlaw Independence Day, it actually has the audacity to celebrate the signing of the Declaration of Independence.
Hey Michael! The Declaration of Independence is pretty unconstitutional.

When in the Course of human events it becomes necessary for one people to dissolve the political bands which have connected them with another and to assume among the powers of the earth, the separate and equal station to which the Laws of Nature and of Nature's God entitle them, a decent respect to the opinions of mankind requires that they should declare the causes which impel them to the separation.

We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness.

Very UNconstitutional! It talks about God a lot. I think we should outlaw it.
What about American money? It says right on each and every one, "IN GOD WE TRUST". We must outlaw American money, it's unconstitutional.
Oh, and while we're at it, let's outlaw any form of religion that talks about God. It might offend someone who's an atheist. From now on all religions should base their doctrine on the principles of Humanism; The philosophy that advocates human rather than religious values, whatever FEELS right. Like the Universal Life Church, where our friend Michael Newdow filled out an online form, and instantly became an ordained minister. You can too.
It is only proper that everyone gets to do what they feel is right. I feel that I should be able to have a large screen TV, a new car and a big fat diamond ring, it FEELS right. Some people feel that they should be able to smoke pot whenever they want. Some feel like killing their unborn children. To hell with civic duty and moral values. They are apparently unconstitutional.
It's a downward spiral. Once the trend is set in motion, where will it stop?

If a school would like to begin the day with a moment of silent meditation, would fundamentalists butt-in saying that meditation is an Eastern religious practice and should be outlawed?

I propose a NEW pledge - -
I pledge allegiance to the God of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob...and to the kingdom...for which Christ stands...all nations under God, Invincible, with Liberty and Justice for all.

Put THAT in your pipe and smoke it Michael.
