Contrary Dissidents Who are these people that wish to remove the mention of God from our Government. Where were they on April 30, 1789 on the inauguration day of George Washington, the first President of the United States. "In a low voice Washington solemly swore to execute the office of President of the U.S. and to the best of his ability, to "preserve, protect, and to defend the Constitution of the U.S." Then, as not specified in the Constitution, he added, "So help me God," and kissed the Bible, therby establishing his own first Presidential tradition....from the book John Adams/p.403/written by David McCullough/2001. Seems to me, since then, some contrary dissidents have snuck in. JamesLee April10 2006 |

Interesting tidbit about Washington. We are tiny little bits under a much greater Creator. I agree it is important to give appreciation and respect to that Greater Force. miscellanea |
