Andy Rooney says:

I don't believe in Santa Claus, but I'm not going to sue somebody for
singing a Ho-Ho-Ho song in December. I don't agree with Darwin ,
but I didn't go out and hire a lawyer when my high school teacher
taught his Theory of Evolution.

Life, liberty or your pursuit of happiness will not be endangered
because someone says a 30-second prayer before a football game. So what's the big deal? It's not like somebody is up there reading the
entire Book of Acts. They're just talking to a God they believe in
and asking him to grant safety to the players on the field and the
fans going home from the game.

But it's a Christian prayer, some will argue.

Yes, and this is the United States of America and Canada, countries
founded on Christian principles. According to our very own phone
book, Christian churches outnumber all others better than 200-to-1.
So what would you expect -- somebody chanting Hare Krishna?

If I went to a football game in Jerusalem , I would expect to hear a
Jewish prayer.

If I went to a soccer game in Baghdad , I would expect to hear a
Muslim prayer.

If I went to a ping pong match in China , I would expect to hear
someone pray to Buddha.

And I wouldn't be offended. It wouldn't bother me one bit.

When in Rome .....

But what about the atheists? Is another argument.

What about them? Nobody is asking them to be baptized. We're not
going to pass the collection plate. Just humor us for 30 seconds.
If that's asking too much, bring a Walkman or a pair of ear plugs.
Go to the bathroom. Visit the concession stand. Call your lawyer!

Unfortunately, one or two will make that call. One or two will tell
thousands what they can and cannot do. I don't think a short prayer
at a football game is going to shake the world's foundations.

Christians are just sick and tired of turning the other cheek while
our courts strip us of all our rights. Our parents and grandparents
taught us to pray before eating, to pray before we go to sleep. Our
Bible tells us to pray without ceasing. Now a handful of people and
their lawyers are telling us to cease praying.

God, help us. And if that last sentence offends you, well, just sue me.

The silent majority has been silent too long. It's time we tell
that one or two who scream loud enough to be heard that the vast
majority doesn't care what they want. It is time that the majority
rules! It's time we tell them, "You don't have to pray; you don't
have to say the Pledge of Allegiance; you don't have to believe in
God or attend services that honor Him. That is your right, and we
will honor your right; but by golly, you are no longer going to take
our rights away. We are fighting back, and we WILL WIN!"

God bless us one and all...Especially those who denounce Him, God
bless America and Canada, despite all our faults We are still the
greatest nations of all. God bless our service men who are fighting
to protect our right to pray and worship God.

Let's make 2010 the year the silent majority is heard and we put God
back as the foundation of our families and institutions. And our
military forces come home from all the wars.

Keep looking up.
