John Wayne's reading of the Pledge of Allegiance This is from the same album as "Face the Flag"...

'I PLEDGE ALLEGIANCE TO THE FLAG'

What do these words mean to you? To me they say, "Thank you, America, for your strength, your courage and for your freedom....which has been a beacon to the world for two hundred years."

'OF THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA'

....Whose bright stars are fifty states...each bearing it's own stamp of individuality. People...two-hundred million strong...people...who have come to her from all corners of the earth.

'AND TO THE REPUBLIC FOR WHICH IT STANDS'

A land of laws...which an ingenious system of checks and balances that allows no man to become a tyrant...and lets no group prevail...if their power is not tempered with a real concern for the government...a land where the right of dissent and of free speech is jealously guarded...where the ballot box is the sword...and the people its wielder.

'ONE NATION...UNDER GOD!'

A land where freedom of worship is a cornerstone of her being. A land graced with temples and churches, synagogues and alters, that rise in profusion to embrace all the religions of the world.

'INDIVISIBLE'

A land forged by the hot steel of raw courage...and formed forever...by the awful crucible...of civil war.

'WITH LIBERTY'

Where man in pursuit of an honest life will not be denied his chance...where her citizens move freely within her vast borders without hindrance of fear...a land brimming with opportunity...where freedom of choice, is the guideline for all.

'AND JUSTICE'

The courts of our land are open to all. Its wheels of justice grind for all causes...all people. They look to every avenue for justice...every concern of the law, and they temper their reasoning with mercy...

'FOR ALL'

This needs an update ...

'I PLEDGE ALLEGIANCE TO THE FLAG'

What do these words mean to you? To me they say, "What the hell do you mean I can't have a flag on my fire engine???"

'OF THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA'

....Whose bright stars are fifty states, each a wholly-owned subsidiary of the federal government. People...two-hundred million strong, and another two hundred million weak in the head...people...who have come to her from all corners of the earth. Especially Saudi Arabia.

'AND TO THE REPUBLIC FOR WHICH IT STANDS'

A land of laws...Many of them incredibly stupid laws, with an ingenious system of checks and balances that can be neatly sidestepped if you have the right FBI files...and lets no group prevail, except the politically correct...a land where the right of dissent and of free speech is looked at cross-eyed...where the ballot box is the sword, except in Florida, where it is a mystery.

'ONE NATION...UNDER GOD!'

Oh no, you don't!

'INDIVISIBLE'

A land forged by the hot steel of raw sewage, and the cold mush of Oprah...

'WITH LIBERTY'

Where man in pursuit of an honest life will be crushed like a bug...where her illegal aliens move freely within her vast borders without hindrance of fear...a land brimming with Al Queda operatives...where freedom of choice, is the guideline for all. Except you over there.

'AND JUSTICE'

The courts of our land are open to all of our goofy idiots with goofy attorneys. Its wheels of justice grind exceedingly slowly for all causes, no matter how squirrelly...all people, no matter how disturbed. They look to every avenue for justice, and end up in the alley...every concern of the law, like too-hot McDonald's coffee, and they temper their reasoning with sheer idiocy...

'FOR ALL'

No one escapes! No one! Ha! Haaaaaaa!
