Get
ready for what is coming from the “politically correct crowd.”
Have you ever thought of what America would be like if these folks got
into our government as the major political party? Have you ever imagined

would be under fire? In your wildest dreams did you ever think that
taking out “One Nation under God” in our sacred pledge of
allegiance would ever be questioned by our highest court in the land?

the happy, unique success of our weekend had little, if anything, to
do with human efforts.
