While I have no prob w/ pledging allegiance to my flag, & I'm not gonna flame you, either :-).
I kinda understand where you are coming from--after all, is it not true that the Pledge was written by a SOCIALIST? Does anyone know if this is true of not?
I think it's GREAT that "Under God" is still in the Pledge....enjoy saying it while you can, folks. IF I was King & had the authority to snap my fingers & change any part of it, I'd take the word "indivisible" out of it, 'cuz IMO, using that word seems to imply that the nation is greater than the states from which it was born...& it was either Washington of Jefferson (???) who said that THAT type of thinking would be one where the slave would be greater than his master (I wish I could remember the exact phrase).
Well the Statue of Liberty was built by the French, but I'm still proud of it! It really doesn't matter where it came from, it's what it means to me.
