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…

So what’s missing?

“Under God”

Fact

• The Pledge of Allegiance was written by Francis Bellamy

• A socialist… • so that we could pledge to something or

someone

Fact

The pledge was written for the discovery of our country for the 400 celebration of Christopher

Columbus

Fact

The stance for the pledge used to be like the Nazi solute

Fact

The term “under God” was added in 1954

By Dwight D. Eisenhower

A Former Jehovah’s Witness

Fact

The original pledge was to have the word equality in it but they

wouldn’t because of women and African Americans

Fact

The pledge has been changed at least every 50 years since 1892

Reality?

• Should the pledge have been changed so many times?

• Was there really that much wrong with it?

YES

Because it was to be a pledge like a communist pledge of allegiance

But After 1954….

NO

So do the words under god really effect us that much considering…

To win the revolution most soldiers looked to God for inspiration

No matter which deity, there has always been an influence of God in America

If that’s not convincing…

We could go back to….

Communist idealistics

So why do we want God out of the pledge?

???????????????

It refers to the existence of a deity, who is omnipotent and omniscient.

It refers to a male deity, as female deities are referred to as Goddesses and are not taken into consideration in the Pledge.

Further, the phrase refers to monotheism, indicating the presence of a single deity ruling over America.

It also gives the indication that majority

of the Americans believe in the existence of a God, who interfered

with the events occurring on Earth,

thereby guiding America in the direction He

wishes.

Its stupid

It sounds funnyBecause I don’t believe in god

It doesn’t support my feministic ways

Nonsense right?

Do you have a good reason?

Think about this…

Do you fix something when

its broken?

Neither do I

So if the pledge isn’t broken why

fix it?

So we can go back to…

Not dedicating something special to Christopher Columbus

King George having power

Women not being able to vote

Still segregating

Or even worse….Having a leader

like…..

Welcome to America

Land Of the FreeAnd home of the Brave

And

I Pledge Allegiance to the FlagOf the United States of America

And to the Republic for which it standsOne nation, under God, indivisible

With Liberty and Justice for all
