The Original Pledge of Allegiance

[DigiBoy1991]

1 person can't handle the facts

[BackInTheCage]

Why would I pledge allegiance to a piece of cloth?

[johnnyViDeO]

The world would be better off without religion, without nationality, without political separation, one nation of men and women, throughout the entire world, without prejudice, race, and hidden alliances.

[MagicTellaVision]

In 1954 President Eisenhower and Congress added the phrase "under God" into the Pledge of Allegiance which violates the separation of religion from a Secular Government. Native American is a Proud Secular Nation which will stand above Religious Theocracy. True Free Thinking Americans will never be forced to bow their heads down to a Dead Middle Eastern man as their New God or trust their money with which is based on blind faith for a fool...

[ACluelessKid]

It's an innocent salute, but the salute has been tainted by the Nazi's sadly. Like the swastika.

[EbzTrippin]

It's not the Nazi salute, it's the Bellamy salute. 

[megame23]

@EbzTrippin which is the roman salute, which both Americans and Nazis used, as well as the eagle, because they are part of the same beast. in fact Prescott bush funded the Nazis.

[Killuminatyi]

what if as a student in a school I DON"T pledge any allegiance to any flag or anything

I'm here to be educated bitch!

[mcapps1]

Was that one kid giving the nazi salute?

[WarDogLRS]

Pledge of Allegiance Or Mind Control?

[QuantumV3]

NO GOD. EPIC WIN :D

[blowbackinevitable]

I pledge allegiance to the Lord,not a flag or the fascist country for which it stands

[PatrioticEagle50]

@blowbackinevitable The lord is also fascist. If you read the bible, he is a blood thirsty dictator who is worst then hitler.

[jboulware]

@PatrioticEagle50 Before you go mounting theological assaults, learn some fucking grammar. Tard.

[mastermalone]

@blowbackinevitable I was taught that America was the melting pot. Not the Christian, Muslim, and Jew only pot.

[mastermalone]

@mastermalone For all Christians, Muslims, and Jews, Please do not take offense to this comment. I myself am half Jewish. But... the 3 Abrahamic Religions are the ones who believe in "God". So the pledge with the words "Under God" excludes everyone else. Weather they be Buddhist, Hindu, Bahai, and even the Native Americans, ect. I was taught that people came to this country to escape persecution and to freely practice their faith. So why do people now deny that?

[ronte246]

And this is how it should be.

[emattes80]

get a life.

[phase52001]

@emattes80 - who is this comment intended for?

I'm quiet happy here in Australia where we don't have to put up with pledges, religion and all that other nonsense.

[radudeATL]

@phase52001 One of the best. comments. ever. :-) When I travel abroad, the first place I'm going is Australia.

[kommon12Cents]

@phase52001 Hey guy, your govt is no cup of tea either. That's the point. Govt is coercion and violence. Coercion and violence are bad. Govt is bad.

[baggedyman]

LOL I heard the "United Sta-" when he was trying to correct himself. 0:11

[rexcurrydotnet]

This video shows how the Pledge was the origin of the Nazi salute. There are different positions for the palms in the film clip, and the kid with the pencil is intended as comedy. See the work of the symbologist Dr. Rex Curry. Other youtube videos show other examples. Francis and Edward Bellamy influenced Nazism, its dogma, symbols and rituals. They were both very religious. Francis used the two word phrase "under God" in his original pledge program, but not in the chanted part.

[ikespay]

except did you know that when "under god" was added... it was referring to Lincoln's Gettysburg Address?

[CaseyStelken]

It blows my mind how many Christians have no idea that the pledge as we know it today is barely over fifty years old, and the "under god" part is the most recent change! They're completely oblivious to that fact!

[sisterwitch1692]

Also, the words "in god we trust" were ADDED to American coin in 1864 & added to paper currency in 1957. These things were not created with god in mind in the first place so I see no harm in removing the word god from them now. Everything in this world is subject to change with the times, hopefully change for the better. I see religion is at the center of so much hatred so I see the removal of god from our government as a good thing. The many different beliefs in god tends to seperate people.
