I am amazed at the needless waste of time spent on destroying the history of this once great country because someone is offended. The culprits supporting this assault on their feelings are usually those ignorant of our history.
Our national anthem, “The Star Spangled Banner,” was written in four verses but we only sing the first verse. It was written during the War of 1812 and has endured all these years pretty much intact. In the fourth verse it clearly sings “In God is our trust.” Why folks would spitefully gin up a squishy reason not to post said words in a public building screams that too many of my neighbors have nothing important to fill their time with. This constant search for assignments to fill their goody-two-shoes program is a little juvenile when compared to real issues in our world today.
I have no problems with posting historical documents in buildings built and maintained with the taxes of the people. And while I am at it, a reminder that all states have their unique constitutions, and either in their preambles, or the body of those constitutions, there is a common thread. That common tread is that each preamble/constitution asks for help and guidance from a high power (whatever that means to you) in carrying out those words thus written.
Let’s focus on real problems in this country, like helping each other every day. Who’s not for that?
