Hookem, I know all about Vidor, and the golden triangle area, lived there most of my life. Started out in Groves and move to Bridge City.  :o
I know folks that live down the railroad track going towards B.C on HWY 105 & like I said they are scary, but I agree patriotic.  :-X

IMHO.

The majority of people who object to this are not objecting because of any sense of a national or historic pride.  NO they object because they see it as an  attack in their religious beliefs.

Quote
Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances.

The phrase "In God we trust" didn't appear on money until the time of the civil war.  then in 1956 Congress passed a law making this phrase our national motto. [Source]

I personally could care less if the phrase stays or was removed.  My religious beliefs in God are in no way diminished if it were to be removed.

Those that claim that the phrase is a nondenominational "God" please stop lying to the people and your self.  Any one with a brain and the ability to research the history on such maters can clearly see the intent and purpose of these additions to our country's lexicon.  Nothing pisses me off more then those who claim that "it does not represent any one religious belief" when clearly it does.  Have the spine and backbone to say so at least.

If somebody doesn't want to "In GOD we trust" on money or anything  MOVE TO ANOTHER COUNTRY.  And why when you travel outside the US is US money so sought after. That in itself is pretty hypocritical.
