This is a statement that was read over the PA system at the football game at Roane County High School , Kingston , Tennessee , by school Principal, Jody McLeod
"It has always been the custom at Roane County High School football games, to say a prayer and play the National Anthem, to honor God and Country."
Due to a recent ruling by the Supreme Court, I am told that saying a Prayer is a violation of Federal Case Law. As I understand the law at this time, I can use this public facility to approve of sexual perversion and call it "an alternate life style," and if someone is offended, that's OK.
I can use it to condone sexual promiscuity, by dispensing condoms and calling it, "safe sex...." If someone is offended, that's O K.
I can even use this public facility to present the merits of killing an unborn baby as a "viable! means of birth control." If someone is offended, no problem...
I can designate a school day as "Earth Day" and involve students in activities to worship religiously and praise the goddess "Mother Earth" and call it "ecology.."
I can use literature, videos and presentations in the classroom that depicts people with strong, traditional Christian convictions as "simple minded" and "ignorant" and call it "enlightenment.."
However, if anyone uses this facility to honor GOD and to ask HIM to Bless this event with safety and good sportsmanship, then Federal Case Law is violated..
This appears to be inconsistent at best, and at worst, diabolical.
Apparently, we are to be tolerant of everything and anyone, except GOD and HIS Commandments.
Nevertheless , as a school principal, I frequently ask staff and students to abide by rules with which they do not necessarily agree. For me to do otherwise would be inconsistent at best, and at worst, hypocritical... I suffer from that affliction enough unintentionally. I certainly do not need to add an intentional transgression.
For this reason, I shall "Render unto Caesar that which is Caesar's," and refrain from praying at this time.
"However, if you feel inspired to honor, praise and thank GOD and ask HIM, in the name of JESUS, to Bless this event, please feel free to do so. As far as I know, that's not against the law----yet."
One by one, the people in the stands bowed their heads, held hands with one another and began to pray.
They prayed in the stands.. They prayed in the team huddles. They prayed at the concession stand and they prayed in the Announcer's Box!
The only place they didn't pray was in the Supreme Court of the United States of America- the Seat of "Justice" in the "one nation, under GOD."
Somehow, Kingston , Tennessee Remembered what so many have forgotten. We are given the Freedom OF Religion, not the Freedom FROM Religion. Praise GOD that HIS remnant remains!
JESUS said, "If you are ashamed of ME before men, then I will be ashamed of you before MY FATHER.."
If you are not ashamed, pass this on .
I'm not one bit ashamed to pass this on, Are you?

Thanks Marge Rusnak! Demonstration in DC Friday, Nov 7, 2009
Hope you saw the news today on television, Sam. The Capital was jammed
with protesters. Tomorrow Nancy Pelosi is supposed to be at the hill for
signing or something; I didn't catch all of that news; but I wouldn't be a bit
surprised if someone would try to take her down. Lots of the DC Metro
area folks are really mad and that bill is nearly 2,000 pages long. I have the
House bill which is 1,071 pages and that is something to read. This
revision probably is not any better than the first; then Obama came on TV to say
that he hopes the Americans will support AARP and AMA with this new
legislation he proposes to pass. Wonder what he is paying them to get their
support. Most of my doctors don't like this new health plan of his, so who are
these doctors from AMA who like the new health plan. Interesting! Marge

I hope many of you, my conservative friends, will go to your state house
ceremony today where we can all sing "God Bless America" at 12:30PM. My
brother George and his daughter Linda Oiler will be at the great ceremony in
Washingtopn D.C.
Our country has been overtaken by a crowd who aims to destroy America and
all we hold dear. The aim of the rally is to show the peaceful unity of
the Town Hall and Freedom Train type people who want to keep God in our
country and hateful ideas out. As Ronald Reagan declared so well the USA is
this world's last great bastion of freedom.
