If indivisibility is to be preserved by force, then there cannot be liberty and justice for all".

"with liberty"...yeah, right! Compared to most other countries, I'll guess...

Mark (Libertarian)

P.S. It's interesting that you quote the Pledge of Allegiance, which has virtually NOTHING to do with the founding of this country. (Did you know the Pledge of Allegiance was written in 1892...the 400th anniversary of Christopher Columbus' arrival? How about that the Pledge was written by a Baptist preacher who was kicked out of his church for his socialistic sermons? How about that the "under God" wasn't added until Eisenhower did it in 1954?)

But you fail to quote from the Declaration of Independence:

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.
