Reply #3: Listen to the extra emphasis on "UNDER GOD" [View All]

in the pledge of allegiance. They should do a poll of Americans and which text they value the most; the bible or the constitution. It would be interesting whatever your religious beliefs.

I remember when I moved to the US from the UK and entered kindergarten, they made us say the pledge of allegiance before class every morning.

I didn't know what the words meant. In fact, for the most part I didn't know where one word ended and another began. I just repeated it over and over.

It seems creepy to me now, especially knowing that the 'under god' part was never meant to be there, that it snuck its way in as the religious hammered away at the constitution trying to get Jesus a place in American government.

Do these people remember that their president Bush never even actually won his office? Is there any other part of the constitution they actually give a shit about?

Sorry for the aside, brought back memories. Haven't said the pledge in a long time. Canadian citizen now:)
