Resolved: Democracy is best served with a strict separation of church and state.
Okay...now...just post about what you believe in. I need some practice for the next two months' LD debate. |

No, the united states is a republic.
I pledge allegaince to the flag of the united states of america. and to the republic for which it stands, one nation,under god, indivisible, with liberty and justice for all. you really should have known that. anyways: here's a parody pledge i made in the elections: i pledge allegaince to the flag of the united states of america. and to the republicans, and the democrats. One nation, under bush, divided, with liberty and justice for half. just added that... no real reason. |
