of the united states in a case called west virginia versus bryant in 1943 defended the right of jehovah's to pledge allegiance to the flag and the justices said that if there is a fixed star in the constitutional constellation it is the fixed star of freedom of conscience, and this even pre-dates the constitution. in 1775 when our nation was in probably more dire peril than its ever been, when a fleet of -- of 200 ships carrying 35,000 soldiers the largest invasion of fleet to leave the british isles until june 6, 1944, left britain to come back and reconquer the colonies and we needed every able-bodied man to be under arms, our continental congress said that no one shall be coerced to violate their conscience and the moravians and the quakers believe that violence was never justified should have the legal protection to not be coerced and not be punished for following their conscience. in other words, conscientious objector status in 1775. what's at stake here is our god-given right to freedom of faith and following our conscience. this is as dire a struggle as we've ever faced and it is

he said in the name of jehovah and the continental congress, but according to a young man who was there and the british subat earn whoey hoo said was come out of there you damned old rat which sounds a little bit more believable. well, it didn't go down well with some of the vermonters. they were afraid that the british would counterattack and allen actually was stripped of his command shortly after this by the town elders of the vermont settlements. he'd been commissioned to colonel after the continental congress after visiting independence home and making a wonderful speech, but that didn't carry much weight in new york especially or in the settlements. so rather than stay out of the fight he became a scout and he went into canada to raise french canadian militia and who buy out the defenses and we say into canada. we're talking about quebec province which was huge and it was defended by only 600 red coats. 300 of those regulars were tied down on the border at fort st. john and that meant montreal and quebec had the other 300. what allen did not know is that the mohawk nation, under o

maybe we could have done god bless jehovah. would this have made the principal happy? you had that little student on singing, that was great. we loved it. but look, the bottom line is this principal represents the angry left in the united states, really, because she was out there saying a short time ago that, well, it used to be the principals at this school system were all white and jewish and this is -- basically there is a new game in town and there are a lot more like me coming, or something vaguely -- >> gretchen: she's under investigation for saying that, actually. >> yeah, anti-semitic. if that's true, that certain israeli a horrible thing to say. so that's who this woman is. but i think it raises a larger question of patriotism in schools. we used to teach patriotism. flag day actual lea machine something. now flag day is bring in the flag, flag of your home country, and -- >> gretchen: and the american flag is offensive to americans. i don't get it. that was my point yesterday. patriotism has nothing to do with being a democrat or independent or republican. >>

they mentioned she was a jehovah's witness out of no where, but they didn't mention that morrell ventevious idiocy. >> should point out hawkins received some nasty e-mails about this. >> there is nothing like showing how unpatriotic you are and hoping aids kills all black people. >> why did you send that stuff? >> and then there is this one, n-words and their jew commi bosses -- >> why do you hate lee greenwood and america? >> it is not fair. dan, thank you for pointing out the true losers are the kinder gardeners. >> do we get extra points? i didn't go to the bathroom the whole show. >> the show is not over yet. we hand out points afterwards. kkk wants to adopt a highway. you say the clan that pick up the liquor and forget the sign. not exactly the spirit of the first amendment. >> skip the sign. just skip it. be anonymous. clean it up. >> dan, you pointed out being an exalted cyclops is nothing to scoff about. part of the job is to preside over the council of the sentors and write reports to the grand giant. how does that sound? >> they really show stupid names. they really were in

there was a news report about jehovahs witnesses. then hasidic jews in brooklyn and then the catholic church which is an ongoing scandal. what about those people. people in position of power and authority. they don't have a husband to protect? >> sure, sure, i think a lot of that have is that they're brought up in that particular religion. that religion becomes everything in the world. it'sabsolution and their whole lives they have prayed to this deity and this particular religion, then they see all of it has been a lie. they've been taken advantage of and manipulated and the person that they trusted in the community turned out to be the worst predator destroying lives. >> joy: that's one aspect, but they protect the institution. they don't want the institution to have a bad mark against it. that has nothing to do with what you're saying. that's a separate issue. >> they want to protect the institution because for many of them that's all that they have. >> joy: no, no no. >> they want to believe that it's a very, very good thing. >>

this comes from his days going to the jehovah witness kingdom hall when they were worshipping with latinos and asians. he understood, he said, the first couple of hours, maybe the first day was about political protest and anger, but after that he couldn't understand the looting, rioting, children and older people, as he said, getting in harm's way. >> and that can't we all get along came from his heart. his attorneys wanted him to say something else. they had something written and scripted for him. he bypassed that and went with his heart. pat morrison, thank you for your time and perspective. >> a pleasure. >>> tonight cnn presents "race and rage" 8:00 eastern time, 5:00 pacific right here on cnn. >>> we have a winner in greece's critical parliamentary elections. the country's conservative new democracy party has declared victory over the leftist party. the lead wasn't big enough to form a government on its own and it will now look for coalition partner. the outcome is expected to have a significant impact on the world's financial markets tomorrow. we'll tell you how in just a few minutes

he had gone to jehovah's witness kingdom hall with his mother when he was a boy, worshipped with latinos and asians. it seemed fine there. he was really puzzled in los angeles we could not all get along. he was picked up so often by the cops. they would take him back to the police station. one of them said to him because of those words, because of "can we all get along" he said you're going to be remembered 100 years after the rest of us are dead and gone. that's a pretty big burden. >> brown: thank you both so much. >> a pleasure thank you. >> ifill: again, the major developments of the day. world leaders and international markets mixed cautious optimism with some new fears after an election win by the pro-bailout party in greece. there were competing claims of victory in egypt's presidential runoff, as the ruling military increased its own powers. and former baseball pitching great roger clemens was acquitted of lying to congress about using performance- enhancing drugs. in mexico, the presidential candidates are running full- tilt, and our reporting is already beginning online. hari s

. >> in leviticus, yes jehovah prohibited, stated: thou shalt not see the kid in it mother's milk, thereby indicating a emblematic act of cruelty and ip humanity -- inhumanity. based on that one phrase, the rabbinical lawyers have created something as complicated as what jack describes so that now on observant jews will have two sets of dishes, and all disturbs will be glass lest a molecule of meat or milk remain after washing. abraham lincoln in 1863 promulgated the most remarkable document which is still worth all of your attention, the leiber code, executive order 101, which is a code for the conduct of war, the first ever. and it's very hard-headed, but it precludes -- as did leviticus -- basic acts of cruelty and inhumanity. we now have a army of lawyers everywhere from julius caesar to napoleon to rommel to patton, everyone has understood that to wage a war you must have surprise, flexibility, intuition. the phenomenon which jack so streak -- strikingly and originally describes and appears to celebrate, i deplore. but we see the same thing. it has made surprise, flexibility, intuitio

he said growing up he went to jehovah's witness hall around latinos and asian people, and they were working together. and that, he said, is where he got that "can we all just get along" speech. >> pat, this life just never came together. as you sort of alluded to. this was a man who sort of was in and out of trouble after that. and i think cnn also did some work on the anniversary. he also talked about having a drug problem that he still had yet to beat. >> he had a drug problem. i think he had pretty much done a good job with that, but he drank. he enjoyed fishing and drinking and those happy-go-lucky pursuits that he was still doing in his 40s. he had talked often about being stopped by police officers who would see his name, or if he didn't have his driver's license, which was often the case, find out it was rodney king, and they'd just think oh, boy, i pulled over rodney king? so he did get a bit of a pass on some of those things. >> and let's talk a little bit about the riots that were ensued. this was a year later, a year after the police officers were found not guilty of wrongdoing.

she says elders at the kingdom hall of jehovah's witnesses knew about it.e church declined to warn others. the judgment is against the watch tower bible society, the legal arm of jehovah's witnesses. . >>> good morning to you. a live look at san jose. poor air quality on tap for today. you can already see, it looks a little hazy out there. the pollution will be close to the ground, so take it easy out there. we're talking santa clara valley, inner east bay, but the entire valley dealing with spare the air. calm conditions, light winds, gusty in the hills, but they have calmed down for quite a bit. north bay hills, red flag warning has expired. we do still have parts that are very, very dry and hot. 63 in oakland right now. san francisco at 63 as well. 71 already for you in san jose. low to mid-70s in livermore. concord, 72. 68 in napa. 69 degrees outside near santa rosesa. winds are generally light, but could be gusty at times over lake county area, between lake, napa, as well as sonoma. we'll talk about that in a moment. high pressure in control once again
