The pledge

Sully references it's history. From the wiki.

Bellamy's original Pledge read as follows: I pledge allegiance to my Flag and the Republic for which it stands, one nation indivisible, with liberty and justice for all.
That was 1892.

Remember the story of how "in God we trust" got on the money? At about the same time, 1954, the bat-shit crazy Christians managed to trash more of the secular heritage of the founders by convincing Congress to add "under God" to the pledge.

Today, the bat-shit crazy as fuck Christians continue to attempt to destroy our secular heritage and central theme of this nation, "and justice for all", by passing constitutional amendments designating 2nd class citizenship to millions of Americans.

They must be stopped. Bring back tradition in the United States and stop this hijacking by mentally ill, delusional people.

But wait, there's more. The Christians are not only trying to extend the destruction of America, they are lying about it's past.

Concerned Women for America's (CWA's) Director of Government Relations Lanier Swann will join other conservative leaders in speaking at a press conference tomorrow in support of Sen. Jon Kyle's (R-Arizona) and Rep. Todd Akin's (R-Missouri) Pledge Protection Act. This legislation would ensure the protection of the phrase "under God" in the U.S. Pledge of Allegiance. The press conference will be held on Flag Day, which marks the day in 1777 when John Adams proposed the stars and stripes as the official United States flag.

Swann said, "As Americans commemorate Flag Day, it is also appropriate to remember the importance of keeping God in our Pledge. CWA strongly supports the mention of God in our nation's oath in keeping with our constitutional freedoms. We are free from an established religion and free to worship as we choose. Our country's founding fathers were men of faith who intentionally included the phrase 'under God' in an oath that serves as a symbol of loyalty and patriotism to our great country.
7 of the 9 founding fathers were diests, and not Christians. These lying fuckers would have you believe this is a Christian nation founded by Christians. It's just not true.

Fuck you lying fuckers.. god damn assholes of the highest order.

When I'm at a school function with my daughter and we are prompted to recite the Pledge I ALWAYS omit the "under god" part. Sometimes people even notice. The look on their face is priceless.

I add "under Gorak" if I get the opportunity.
