What the fuuuuuuuu...?

I don't have a problem reciting the Pledge of Allegiance, nor do I have a problem in including 'under God' in said Pledge, but creating a law that effectively immunizes the Pledge from being struck down as being unconstitutional?

Way to go, Congress... now you've started a slippery slope where future laws will include such a provision, and before long we'll wind up with a f*ckin' totalitarian state.

I sure as sh*t don't wanna see jackbooted thugs marching down the avenue singing: Die Fahne hoch, die Reihe fest geschlossen... or whatever equivalent comes to mind. ("Raise high the flags, stand rank on rank together..." - the opening lines of the old Nazi party song "Horst Wessel Lied" (Horst Wessel's Song).)
