Lying piece of crap commie.My war is the same as the founders of this nation, religious neutrality. That is why they founded a secular nation. If we didn't need God mentioned in the Constitution, we don't need it mentioned on police cars.I don't think you're qualified to determine who does or doesn't respect God. The point which you missed entirely is that if those words can withstand a court challenge on our currency, then it can on police cars too, so your war on religion is thwarted at least in this instance.Oh but he was, that nonsense happened later under men who didn't respect God...I guess he wasn't very persuasive.Teddy Roosevelt: ‘In God We Trust’ on Money is ‘Sacrilege’

When the phrase “In God We Trust” was going to be placed on the $20 gold coin in 1907, President Teddy Roosevelt was against it (PDF):
“My own feeling in the matter is due to my very firm conviction that to put such a motto on coins, or to use it in any kindred manner, not only does no good but does positive harm, and is in effect irreverence, which comes dangerously close to sacrilege…”
That, from a president who was a Christian, a Sunday school teacher, and a Republican… those days are long gone."
