“the republic for which they stand,”
How many flags are we acknowledging?
When I saw the headline I expected the worst, but this is good.
“ That whenever any Form of Government becomes destructive of these ends, it is the Right of the People to alter or to abolish it, and to institute new Government, laying its foundation on such principles and organizing its powers in such form, as to them shall seem most likely to effect their Safety and Happiness… But when a long train of abuses and usurpations, pursuing invariably the same Object evinces a design to reduce them under absolute Despotism, it is their right, it is their duty to throw off such Government, and to provide new Guards for their future security.--
I’ve always hated the pledge of allegiance.
I certainly don’t need to pledge allegiance to my birthright - the law of the land - and progressives certainly won’t pledge to something they believe also needs rewritten.
IMHO this is dumb.
The Russians had the right idea...
What does this actually accomplish?
I think what we really need to do is hang a few people from Congress or the Bureacracy who’ve violated the oaths they took, which would hopefully make the rest of them think twice before doing so again.
I pledge allegiance to the Constitution, from which our liberties are recognized as being imparted to us by Providence.
We didn’t have one our first hundred years. It was started by a socialist. It has a collectivist air about it. They used to say it while doing a nazi salute until that had to end in 1942. I read that changed to the hand on heart thing in 42. Pappy Boyington was in China with the Flying Tigers AVG when that change happened. He was at a ballgame and didn’t put his hand over his heart. Some locals wanted to fight him!
The Founders didn’t need one...maybe we don’t.
What we need is illegal now.
“… one nation, indivisible…”
Personally, I would ditch “indivisible”. It’s time to cull the herd (expel some states or parts of states).
Love it!
I have taken many an oath to defend the CONSTITUTION of the United States.
BUT...
This dare not be attempted until we hold both houses of Congress and the White House!
Let’s do away with indivisible; I never say that word in the pledge, because it is false.
I never quite understood pledging allegiance to a piece of cloth.
No need for any change.
...and to the Republic for which it stands
That covers the Constitution which formed the Republic.
The Oath of Office for military officers is a good one.
Saying the pledge every day is an insult to people's intelligence, and resembles the NAZIS.
The pledge is a new construct, used by commies to gain obedience to government. People already had loyalty to their birthright country, no pledge needed.
A little info. The pledge was written by Francis Bellamy (1855-1931), a Baptist preacher who was a socialist and preached against capitalism. He hated America and joined the wave of Marxists who thought government was the answer to economics issues.
I don’t understand... Most churches, and even the Pope embrace the homos... So why is God still a roadblock for these morons!!??
“..help educate our children when they learn it.”
These are the same public schools that want to turn our children into eunuchs and the parents have no say in the matter?
Good idea!
