The National Anthem is about an occurrence that happened in 1812, t***scribed into a poem called 'Defence of Fort McHenry' in 1814, set to lyrics to a tune that was originally written in 1771 and re-named the Star Spangled Banner, was recognized for official use by the Navy in 1889, then by Woodrow Wilson in 1916, and finally codified as the National Anthem in 1931, Contains the following phrases in the 4th and closing stanza of our anthem:
"O, thus be it ever when freemen shall stand,
Between their lov'd homes and the war's desolation;
Blest with vict'ry and peace, may the heav'n-rescued land
Praise the Pow'r that hath made and preserv'd us a nation!
Then conquer we must, when our cause is just,
And this be our motto: "In God is our trust"
And the star-spangled banner in triumph shall wave
O'er the land of the free and the home of the brave!
My advice...quit whining !!! You don't want to be part of the 'We' ...then don't ....you don't believe in God...then don't....BUT your personal lack of faith does not t***slate into a 't***h crisis' of monumental proportions in the USA ....Incidentally, God is not mentioned in the US Constitution....but ironically God or some other reference to a deity is included in every State Constitution....So a 'Motto' is not a Government law, nor is it a lie ( ie a false statement made with a deliberate intent to deceive )....Good Luck, stay healthy. I'm leaving it fuzzy ( because by definition Faith is fuzzy) or worse....I'm a religious fanatic bent on saying you are condemned to hell ....wh**ever you wish....Your quarrel is not with me ....nor do I care that you are playing a high stakes game of 'Eternity Poker' with what you perceive is the Winning Hand... remember stay true to your beliefs ...and don't blink or fold when you throw down your cards for the last hand of your life and ALL your chips are on the table...and the Dealer ,who you really can't make out visually, says ....'The House Always Wins....We never argue about God!!'

Actually, Kevyn....that 'Motto' of term limits / Congressional pay having risen 231%/ with 'Nasty' Nancy 's picture was used during the 2016 e******n cycle...The Congressional pay ( both Houses) in 1986 was $75,100/yr and in 2016 it was $174,000/yr.....which by the magic of basic mathematics comes out to 2.31691078562 ( actually should have been 2.32 or 232% ..rounded ).....However, all of the % comparisons are meaningless so you need to actually look at are the following.....In 1970 Congressman made $42,500/yr vs. the Median Income of $7500+/- per yr..... in 2016 Congressman made $174,000/yr vs $59,039/ yr ....now it is important to remember that a Congressman averages about 150 Legislative Days/Yr and that their salary is not all of the income that they make in a year either, while the Median Income is all the money the Median family makes.....Also as you can see in terms of 'Real Dollars' the US Median Income has been basically flat over the years....so no matter how you look at Congressman, for a part time job they have been paid near the Top Quintile ( ie. top 20-25% income level ) and actually just with Congressional pay make more than 75-80 % of the people who elect them....so throw in 'Bennies and other perks' and it boils down to .....the V**ers should actually be approving their pay scales...not themselves !!
The whole situation of a self generated pay raise is the antithesis of Capitalism and wreaks of Royalty or in my case a hardworking C****e that is equal but better than you !!

US MEDIAN INCOME (up to Dec. 2016)

You are aptly 'named'

Hey ! Hey ! So am I ...AHO-C

Sing !! God has never required that 'we' prove he exists. He always describes a non-believer as 'One of little faith!' . There are many things that cannot be 'proven' by science ....yet they still exist !! Does that mean that they 'Don't Exist '.....or does it mean 'we' don't understand it ??
Regardless !! WE can mean just mean... me and one other person.....OR it can be extended up to every being in the Universe.
The greatest thing about the USA is not the petty BS of diversity ( so long as we all think alike), immigration ( ultimately if you track humans back to one common thread...we ALL came from Africa)..etc. it is the Constitution ( this Document is what makes our Country different and better than any other Country past or present)..... and even while we are a Country founded on Judeo-Christian principles ...our Constitution gives us the 'Freedom of ( not from) Religion ' ...you can believe in God or not believe in God...I personally don't give a crap about your uppity 'pseudo-science' argument about proof of His existence or not and I have no intention of trying to 'convert' you.
I do not understand why so many atheists feel obliged to denigrate every 'God loving American' as a bunch of imbecilic automatons that uniformly march to the same mindless drumbeat....Just based on replies to your post virtually every person that believes in God has different words to describe why and how they do believe in God...to imply that they need to give 'you' proof or they are all 'liars' is the most pompous ,conceited, narcissistic, illogical argument against a belief concept that requires faith in order for it to be valid.
Who do you think you are to question the honesty and integrity of billions of people world wide just because you 'want proof God exists!!'....when you CANNOT even provide proof he doesn't exist ....just because you can't see something or understand something does not mean it does not exist or that it is also not cognizant of your existence!!
To answer your question in regard to the phrase " In God We Trust "..I already count me ( part of the requirement for 'we') and several others on this site ( in particular Radiance , who I personally envy for the way she can so beautifully describe her relationship with God) ..which is the final closing of the loop to being a 'we'.
The war you have against God is between you and Him....and you are placing your whole eternity on you being intellectually superior to Him....well the Rooster will crow 3 times for each of us to see if we deny Him...my bet is you are in for one Big Surprise when your clock stops ticking !!
Good luck ...'Thomas' !

Well she already said she wanted to go home!!! Send her Home! Send Her Home!


I go home!! I go home!

Yo ProMilitary......The reason you don't buy the 'scientific bulls**t' is because it is not scientific...but it is bulls**t. I agree the 50+ year L*****t diatribe on 'G****l C*****g/Warming/C*****e C****e/back to Warming' combined with ' the world will end in the' : 80's....no 90's....no 2000 ( at Midnight)...no 2008...whoops 2015...whoops 2030...I meant 2050 but absolutely 2100 !!! is monotonous , has gone beyond boring ,and has reached a point where it is so obviously wrong that at least they finally openly admit....' It's about wrecking the USA Economy .....Stupid !!!' ( a Willie Clinton political slogan that was never chastised by the Left for it's obvious connotations.....but MAGA sends them into fetal position rigor mortise instantaneously ).
I am waiting for this to be strongly enforced....The D's are using B*M, A****a, 'News' Media, and various other alphabet soup Organizations /Methods to Coerce, Threaten, Harm, and Subvert the USA into a Lawless Vigilante system of 'Behavior Preference and Disorder ' !!

If no action is taken it will become a street battle of the Right's Vigilantes/Constables/M*****as vs The Left's A****a/Progressive JW's ....mark my words....I believe we are at a point ( or very close) where it will only take one "Shot heard 'round the World" type of event to break the existing '100 Year Dam of Patience' that the Right has constructed as the Prog's kept inching their way to the breaking point of this 'Dam' which is the point just before the C****e takeover of this Constitutional Republic as a Nation !!!

Every little bit helps....Good Work!!!

Don't h**e me because I'm beautiful.....You can h**e me because I'm a stupid dimwit who has no understanding of Economics,Climate, International Relations, N**ism,F*****m, C*******m, Circumcisionism, OR Talkin' S**tism.....but on the upside at least I admit I am an AHO....si' !!!

LOL !!
The crying one was due to the Search Warrant with forcible entry being executed as I typed!!!

Sounds plausible to me....I'm an expert because I made myself 'The Boss!!'

LOL

LOL

You are absolutely talking over the comprehension level of those who talk about 'C*****e C****e' ...as if the earth never went thru 'Hot and Cold' cycles before !! A picture supports your research....Great job!!

Exactly the point I believe you were making in your post about the left giving us a babbling i***t....AOK ( ie AOC )and gigginthebutt...who is more obsessed with being a Gay Wife....than he is about being Mayor of his City...let alone the President !!!
