Pledge of Allegiance

[Smackdown2019]

"I pledge allegiance to the Flag of the United States of America, and to the Republic for which it stands, one nation under God, indivisible, with liberty and justice for all."

Justice for all!

I always think of a justice being served to Trump and yet he wants to kick the can down further to avoid justice being served onto him.

No one is above the law!

1. I prefer the original

"I pledge allegiance to the Flag of the United States of America and to the Republic for which it stands, one nation, indivisible, with liberty and justice for all."

3. Roger that. I have only ever recited the original for decades. I'll lead the Pledge if asked but will give fair warning.

6. I picked up the original from my mother

She always left out the divisive religious garbage that was added in by religious bigots, because that's how she learned to recite it. She never has gotten the hang of including the divisive garbage.

First time I heard her leave out the divisive garbage, I thought it not only sounded better, but also was morally better as well.

I've said it that way ever since.

2. "one nation under God, indivisible, with liberty and justice for all."

These words do not ring true.
Especially when I see his name on a flag.

4. But which America are we pledging allegiance to?

A nation based on democracy or a fascist dictatorship? Starting to get confused at city council and school board meetings.

5. "No one is above the law!" Quaint thought, but most of us know in reality it's just not true. n/t
