Nobody ever seems to mention that the pledge was written by a socialist.

I PLEDGE ALLEGIANCE
by Cindy Furnare
I PLEDGE ALLEGIANCE....
I pledge my loyalty, faith, and devotion and I pay sincere homage to the
flag. How many people pledge allegiance to the American flag today? A heck
of a lot less since 1992. I'm sure about that. It would be interesting to
watch media outlets and talk show hosts take a survey and ask teenagers and
adults if they can recite the Pledge of Allegiance to the American Flag. An
interesting follow-up question should be asked, "What does the pledge of
allegiance mean to you?"
TO THE FLAG....
When I see the colors of the flag, I think of how many lives were lost and
how many people were injured so that I can say the pledge of allegiance to
the flag today. I think of the wars where young men fought and where young
men died. I have an American Flag on a flagpole outside my bedroom window.
As the flag billows proudly in the wind, I can hear the sweet sound of
freedom and liberty.
OF THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA AND TO THE REPUBLIC FOR WHICH IT STANDS....
America is a great country. It's unfortunate that so many Americans do not
understand just how bountiful and blessed our country is. Even fewer
understand what is meant by the phrase "to the Republic for which it
stands."
ONE NATION UNDER GOD...
This nation is a great nation and many of us still give thanks to God for
allowing America to become one nation under God. It's by God's grace that
we are still a sovereign nation today.
INDIVISIBLE...
The hateful tool of political correctness is a divisive weapon being used to
carve out the traditional values which are the very heart of our nation's
great heritage. United we stand. Divided we fall!
WITH LIBERTY AND JUSTICE FOR ALL.
"Now the Lord is that Spirit: and where the Spirit of the Lord is, there is
liberty." -II Corinthians 3:17
As our culture continues to crumble, one can wonder if there really is
"justice for all." We'll see.
============================================
CINDY'S NOTE: Have you taken THE PLEDGE today?
CHRISTIAN FLAG I pledge allegiance to the Christian Flag, and to the Savior
for whose kingdom it stands, one Savior, crucified, risen and coming again,
with life and liberty to all who believe.
BIBLE I pledge allegiance to the Bible, God's Holy Word. I will make it a
lamp unto my feet, and a light unto my path, and will hide its words in my
heart that I might not sin against God.
AMERICAN FLAG 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.

"My country, 'tis of thee,
Sweet land of liberty,
Of thee I sing:
Land where my fathers died,
Land of the pilgrim's pride,
>From every mountain side
Let freedom ring." -[Samuel Francis Smith: America]
