I don't even want to know...

He already ruined "The Battle Hymn of the Republic" for me. Now the 'Pledge'? :lol:

Is he pro or anti-pledge? I'm anti-pledge, and don't really want to listen to anything that is pro-pledge.

Anti indeed.

Ah, good, I'm glad he did it and not me! LOL We've run into problems with people when my family, all seven of us, don't recite the pledge at events that do this. It's pretty obvious with that many people in a row don't "go along" with the group. People presume you are unpatriotic, when we don't do it because we are Christians and patriotic.

Most people have no idea of its origin, its authors beliefs or what it even means - but the old paganism of ancient Rome is mimicked very thoroughly in this thing.

The pledge seems to be the Martin Luther King of white people.
 
Hehe.. I listened to most of it. It was interesting. I stopped saying the pledge in high school once i realized this nation, although under God, since God is sovereign over all nations and kings, is far from being some God honoring/glorifying holy nation, then the fact that all Americans regardless of religions say it.. makes me think of it no less than an inter-faith prayer (under which god?) . I didn't know all that historical stuff though; it was neat. :graduate:
