Same with the pledge ~ the designer may have been nasty, but he accidentally came up with something we can rub in the left's face ~ then, grind them under our boots!
The Pledge of Allegiance was written by co-authors who were socialists and/or Marxists whose stated goal was the development of social and economic equality by forcible redistribution of wealth by a U.S. Government owning all public businesses and enterprise. The purpose of the Pledge of Allegiance was to divert public support and indoctrinate the public into supporting a public education system controlled by the National Education Association (NEA) and its objective of making hijacking U.S. eduucation and remodeling it after the Prussian authoritarian and totalitarian methods.
They intended for the Pledge of Allefiance to divert public loyalty away from the Constittion and its principles of individual and familial civil rights and redirect those loyalties towards a flag and U.S. Government controlled by a totalitarian socialist rregime dedicated to engineering social submission and loyalties to the NEA agenda for political and social indoctrination.
By contrast, the Oath of Loyalty I swore to protect and defend the Constitution of the United States of America against all enemies, foreign and domestic, is prootective of the Revoultionary human principles which the Pledge of Allegiance would subvert in favor of an anti-Constittional government.
It should be noted the Pledge of Allegiance had no official standing in the U.S. Government until the ultra-socialist Franklin Delano Roosevelt and his openly Communist Vice President enacted legislation aiding the NEA to indoctrinate our children and adult population with this foreign and totalitarian tool.
If you want a pledge of allegiance, why not write and adopt a pledge of allegiance which fosters voluntary allegiance to the principles of the Declaration of Independence and the Constitution instead of the socialist=Marxist hijacking of our society?
The way things stand now, too any would be Patriots are defending a nest full of eggs and chicks which another bird long ago replaced with its own brood after killing the original brood of the nest owner.
