They inserted "under God" in the pledge in the 1950's. It had something to do with distinguishing ourselves from the Communists wh were proud aethiests.

Personally I am notparticularly a fan of the pledge. I have no allegiance to the flag. My allegiance is "to the republic for which it stands, one nation (under God) indivisible, with liberty and justice for all."

Makes me wonder about Rick Perry secessionist talk. Does he say the plege?


"Io sono stanco, sono imbigliato, and I wan't everyone here to know, there ain't gonna be no trouble from me..Don Corleone..Cicc' a port!"

"I stood in the courtroom like a fool."
