I most certainly don't buy into its socialist origins and its anti-states' rights "one nation . . . indivisible" cr*p.

Not to mention that "under God" foolishness.

The "under God" part doesn't bother me a bit. There's obviously some much bigger power in the universe than just the homo sapiens critters crawling around planet Earth. Different people have different beliefs about the nature of that power, some very specific and literal, others very abstract. But "God" is a good catch-all name for it (even works for Muslims, since "Allah" is just Arabic for "God"), and anybody who gets their panties in a wad over the benign, non-specific "under God" in the pledge is mentally disordered (Michael Newdow being Exhibit A).
