I have to admit that I'm most offended by this one:

11. Are you offended by the phrase "Under God" in the Pledge of Allegiance? Why or why not?
SP: Not on your life. If it was good enough for the founding fathers, its good enough for me and I'll fight in defense of our Pledge of Allegiance.

I guess she was thinking of all those mentions of G-d in the Constitution(*), not the fact that the words "Under God" were not added to the Pledge of Allegiance until 1954.

I don't trust her to uphold our Constitution.

Added for balance, 5:35 pm:

To be balanced:

"A sense of proportion should also guide those who police the boundaries between church and state. Not every mention of God in public is a breach to the wall of separation -- context matters. It is doubtful that children reciting the Pledge of Allegiance feel oppressed or brainwashed as a consequence of muttering the phrase 'under God.' I didn't."
