From Patriots to Fools

Will we stand before our Creator and be able to say, "I have fought the good fight, I have finished the race, I have kept the faith."

Americans, when faced with adversity, have always taken what was designed to destroy us, and turned it into something that unites us. The attacks on September 11, 2001, were designed to divide us, fill us with indecision, and encourage us to huddle in the corner in fear.

Instead, to the surprise of the Muslim World, Americans united, sang songs of patriotism, and honored their dead with memorials and moments of silence. . . while voicing in unison, “We Shall Never Forget.”

The Pledge of Allegiance was written in 1892 by Francis Bellamy, a socialist that wrote the pledge in the hopes it would create a sense of nationalism, and convince Americans to adopt the principles of socialism, a concept akin to his cousin’s (Edward Bellamy) writings regarding utopianism. The original Pledge of Allegiance was published September 8, 1892, in a popular children’s magazine, “The Youth’s Companion.” James B. Upham, a marketer for the magazine, hoped the issue, which also marked the 400th anniversary of Christopher Columbus’s discovery of America, would encourage patriotism and the display of the American flag in public schools.
