The Bug House Posted February 9, 2011 Report Share Posted February 9, 2011 "Under God" was added in 1954. I prefer the original version and say it as loudly as I can when reciting the pledge: I pledge allegiance to my flag and the republic for which it stands: one nation indivisible with liberty and justice for all. Thankfully we live in a secular nation and aren't required to say it one way or another. We even have the freedom to not say it at all if we want.

Tominator Posted February 11, 2011 Report Share Posted February 11, 2011 Had a kid give me an eye roll one morning when I turned around and told him to stand up and join in as we started the pledge. He didn't like me much the rest of that day, or a few days after that when I told him I'd like to ship him out to armpits like Haiti and bastions of "freedom" like Cuba. Of course, I was smiling all the time, but he got my point. :gunsmilie: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
woolybear Posted February 11, 2011 Report Share Posted February 11, 2011 Had a little girl of the asian persuation in my elementary school class that wouldn't stand or recite the pledge. Made all the other kids mad that she got special treatment because she wasn't "like us".:pop:. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dlriggins Posted February 16, 2011 Report Share Posted February 16, 2011 this is one of the most interesting threads I can remember I find it interesting that of all the words in the pledge the words under god are the most controversial. I personally find the word indivisible to be interesting seeing as the nation has been devided in the past, and to some extent today from state to state I mean my liberties from state to state are not the same for example concieled carry of a handgun, or marajuana use (not my thing but I try not to judge), or what I can or cant do to the car I drive due emmisions, and just to throw this out there I dont care if gays get married I do however like the fact that In God We Trust is on my money Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stevebeilgard Posted February 22, 2011 Report Share Posted February 22, 2011 we were founded under god. it was only in the 1950's that our politicians realize that lots of americans needed to be reminded of that fact, and that it needed to be added. i want it to stay. before it was inferred, now it is actuality.
