The American Tax Dollar, Hard at work

[Uncleal]

Did you know that the ACLU has filed a suit to have all military cross-shaped headstones removed and another suit to end prayer from the military completely. They're making great progress. The Navy Chaplains can no longer mention Jesus' name in prayer thanks to the wretched ACLU and our new administration. .:mad::mad::mad:

Uncleal is this a rumor or what? What are your statements based on?

I got it in Email but it sounds very believeable, with all the Obama Bull****.:BS:

While the gravestone issue has been addressed by Snopes, and it's very difficult to argue with the facts.

That's only one of two. How come the other was not addressed, could it be true ?

[Zoren]

Actually, if you read the "Variatons:" part it states, "This article is often coupled with another (false) item about the ACLU's supposedly protesting Marines bowing their heads in prayer."

Not exactly the same statement you posted, but I would say pretty close. I am not trying to defend the ACLU by any means, but a little research into your post would have been nice instead of taking an e-mail for face value.

[Uncleal]

Well what exactly should I do, Contact the Navy Chaplins association assuming there is one of course. And ask them if they can still use the word Jesus

Just as a side note: The New $1 U.S. coin has been released.

It features George Washington on one side, but NO

IN GOD WE TRUST

Do your part. Refuse to accept it as legal tender

I believe that if you look, you'll find "In God We Trust" on the edges of that coin.

Dang, do you believe everything you get in e-mail? :doh:

Ok Al go to the worthless mint page of the US empty coffers and look at at the known variations of US 1$ coin all have In God We Trust stamp on them. Now if ya wanna gripe think Canada's loonie and Toonie coins are worth more then the US in metal composition:beach3:.

[Trans_23]

Thanks for the heads up Al. I should be getting
the same e-mail from my right wing friends the
never fact check e-mails either. I will say that
I wouldn't put it past the ACLU to actually try
**** like this.

Wouldn't surprise me. The penny has been made out of zinc with a thin copper plating for over 25 years now. I think the main metal in the "golden" dollar is manganese. It's been 45 years since real silver was used in circulating coinage in the US. About the time that inflation really took off.

Not really,. . . I get some real wacko master race crap that even I don't buy, that gets deleted first thing.

The rest of the garbage I never research, if it sounds halfway true, I post it.

Let somebodyelse do the research, worst that can happen with such a policy

is some pointy headed liberal calls me a dickwipe.

Water off a Ducks Back, don't get me wrong, I'm a very argumentative person, but only when I have the facts, feelings are schitt ;)
