Actually the Pledge originated
in 1893 on Columbus Day.
The original Pledge was as
follows:
'I pledge allegiance to my Flag and (to*) the Republic for which it stands,
one nation, indivisible, with liberty and justice for all.'
In 1924, the words "my flag"
were changed to "the flag of the United States of America".

It was not originally in the pledge, but
then again the pledge wasn't the pledge until around 1940 or so.

I have heard that God's name was not originally in the
pledge.
If that is true... that would make it a little easier for these
religion
haters to remove it, I would think.

This
is becoming so completely just a bunch of s**t. I never say much as
you all know, but this is getting on my last nerve. Next it will be
that you can't even say the word "God" in a public place. Dammit all,
what are these guys thinking!!! I'm just really steamed, so just bare
with me!
OK, I've got it!! I think it is high time that
farting in public be banned, especially during Christmas shopping when lines
are long and you have to tough it out because you don't want to get in
another line!!! Not only is it toxic and very flammable, but against
the clean air statutes I would imagine!
I just can't imagine the
Supreme Court ever ruling against the "Pledge of Allegiance"!!! How I
wish our forefathers could come back to life and defend our constitution and
what it stands for. If they rule against it, God help us!! Oh,
next the word, God, won't be allowed here!!! Sorry, just really p***ed
right now.
