If Boston is the Cradle of Liberty, progenitor and driving force behind our desire to rid ourselves of the British Colonial Oppressors and all they stood for, don't you find it ironic that today Boston's "Coin of the Realm," the icon in which it places its faith, is the Shilling?

Cute, you must have a lot of spare time on your hands to ponder such things.

They have ruined their country and would now like to mooch of the US. They come here saying this is their land. We have taken it from them. They better bring more than 12 million if they want to take it back from us. We will not lay down and let them overrun us. Look at L.A. and you will see what will become of the US if they succeed. The Us is a free handout to them and that is our governments fault. The government had better do something soon or there will be another Boston Tea Party.

Thank you for this beautiful montage.  I can't imagine anyone not being impressed, American or not, with the images shown. The music was nice, too. \n\nI almost didn't open it, because I don't want you defining who a patriot is, especially since their definition is almost always at odds with mine. \n\nRemember, donate responsibly.

As a true patriot who recognises the gift of technology, language, democracy that england has given to the world since the start of the empire, I can say it breaks my hear to see my beloved country raped and poisoned by the untermenschen that swarms over our borders.To think of all the lives sacrificed in 2 world wars to defend our freedom against an enemy far superior in culture and intellect than the one that eats us from the inside out right now.When are the uneducated blinkered arrogant liberal left going to wake up and smell the coffee.?When england finally becomes an islamic state, do they think they will be spared the ravages of islam because they insist that council tax money is spent on building mosques and hiring solicitors and interpreters to get them welfare from the day they arrive?\nI want to fight this disease , but how , when our leaders are still brainwashign our children that christmas is wrong  and that the british empire was evil?\nGive our children and our future a chance , by stopping this political correct spin and let everyone know the truth so that even the liberals can see how blind and naive they are.

Sorry, not a theist, but... I would LOVE it if they would stop endorsing religion.\n\nGeorge Bush senior said that he doesn't think atheists should be considered citizens of this country.  God on money is, to a lot of people, an "eh" subject.  They don't care enough and they don't know why anyone would make such a big deal about it.  I don't think they realize that with every bill and coin printed or pressed, our OWN government is going AGAINST the constitutional "separation of church and state".  If we allow ourselves to wallow in apathy, into what other murky religious waters will our government lead us?\n\nOh, I know that religion is being legislated into our secular law.  You don't know how outraged that makes me.  I really really don't care if someone wants to glue a thousand gold crosses together and wear it as a dress while proselytizing from their roof.  I DO care that THEIR religious dogma is being used to sculpt the laws of my SECULAR land, the laws I have to obey as an American.\n\nForcing people to accept some particular idea or adhere to behavioral standards from someone else’s religion means that their religious freedom is being infringed upon.  We DO have religious freedom in this country, or ideally we do.  Realistically... Christianity has been allowed to run the show for far too long.

Hey ! thats an interesting observation.\nMy friend,\nEvery coin has two sides,  we are children of God, so Goodness always resides in our heart but the worldly feelings of Ego, competition, greed destroy our otherwise pure hearts.\n\nIts true that we need to be humans first then any thing else.

I wonder what that says about us Brits?  While it still existed, I would throw in my ha'penneth (half pence) but still offer a penny for your thoughts. Perhaps we're too self-effacing, that we think our opinion is worth half as much as someone else's!

Yes, I agree with you. It's not only a BAD idea, it's also sending the wong message to kids who are not yet old enough to vote.\n\nPLUS, where would these funds come from? I didn't get all the details because I was so disgusted with the headline, I turned to another station.\n\nBAD idea.\n\n***Let Freedom ring...

I won't be surprised (I am an Egyptian), but would experience all the hatred, disgust and horror I could ever feel. The problem is that US people believe in this mission whole-heartedly and they find it sacred, whereas we, Middle East people, are absolutely sure this is the modern age expansion, policy for a better economy in new colonies but in a new style. None of the two versions is invalid. It all depends on how good the person in charge is good at mustering votes and gaining people to their side. Yeah, I know, a long answer that would bring me criticism.

Yes. We're talking George H.W. Bush, (George I), not our present ruler, Chimpy McFlightsuit...I mean George W. Bush.\nDuring a campaign stop on August 27, 1987 at O'Hare Airport in Chicago he commented that: "I don't know that atheists should be considered as citizens, nor should they be considered patriots. This is one nation under God." This is well documented and can be easily confirmed by anyone with internet access and two minutes of free time.

...I haven't time now to look up quotes, but I know on this web site.  Mr. Barton has done oodles of research on the founders.  I strongly urge you to check this site out - and you could spend hours on it.  We bought several of his tapes, and they are very good.\n...His findings would certainly annoy the ACLU, Americans United for the Separation of Church and State, and others who wish to cloud and/or revise history and rob us of our heritage.\nhttp://www.wallbuilders.com/

1) <Know it all> The Quote "In God We Trust" IS actually a metaphor for our currency, if means that we don't really get paid in anything worth of value except a paper with a scripple, basically an I.O.U, and it says that because as long as the Americans beleive in currency there will not be any problems with the economy- Completely irrelevant to this situation though\n\n I think America will fall eventually, and it can't be surely predicted because many things could be a factor to this. There is no true answer except opinions. Yes I do beleive America will eventually fall or at the least will crumble down to a smaller country but i doubt anytime soon. And the reason that America seems to reject God or God-like figures is because many people find it offensive to mix Religion with Government. And i suppose they have a point seeing as many people came to America to be freed from strict laws and religious beleifs in other countries. You must understand that America is a very diverse place and I really do hope that America does not fall because it , aside from any corruption and greed, is one of the greatest and most free countries, NO i'm not being patriotic, but you must understand that many rights are available here than in other countries, and even though America might seem evil and vile to many people, i'd rather live in a democratic fucked up countr rather than a communist one where our freedom is limited.....so yeah good question

Wha...you mean it isn't?  Then what's with all the writing on our money and the words in the Pledge and the religious icons up in public buildings and stuff?  Gosh, what a revelation...

Good question...In God we trust is on all of our coins, One nation under God is in our pledge of allegiance, it was obviously our founding fathers intentions to have this nation be God oriented.  We do allow for religious freedom here, which I am grateful for, it is what makes America what it is, and since our nation was founded on God, those who can not deal with His name being used should find somewhere they are more comfortable, or learn to be tolerant. We don't stop other religions from practicing their faiths, or those who choose to not practice or not believe, but why should we have to assimilate to those who don't share the values on which this country was founded.

Well..I too am offended. I am so sick of people in America making decisions as to not offend others, but pushes our beliefs to the side...I LIVE IN AMERICA...I EXPECT to be able to speak of God when I wish and have his name on what I wish..if these people are so damn offended by God then they need to quit coming here. They use our american currency with God written on it don't they?!? We take God out of everything, take the pledge out of schools and wonder why so many kids are screwing up and going down the wrong path...It's like this because basically America has said...well we have founded ourselves on this BUT as to not offend anyone that has come here we are going to shut ourselves up to please others and keep God out of everything...Do the people in other countries quit worshipping whoever it is they do because we go there? Do they change the words in their pledges or whatever to satisfy us? Do they remove their God from anything public as to not offend anyone?? This is America, land of the free....or so I thought.

America was founded on freedom.  Our forefathers didn't want the government imposing anything on its citizens.  In modern times, religious references in a public, governmental setting walks a fine line.

It's a great book, one which inspired the American Revolution (repudiated the Divine right of kings to rule without consent of the governed).\n\nAlso, to do good with all one's wisdom and strength is the highest religion.  And the doctrine of a savior is unjust: no honest man can accept another's dying for him.\n\nThese were (and are) revolutionary concepts which helped change the history of our early republic.
