None of our founding fathers said the pledge of alliegance.

[Bfgrn]

I wonder why Mr. historian Beck has never educated his flock on the actual history of the pledge?

Here's the real kicker;

Francis Julius Bellamy was an American Baptist minister (May 18, 1855 – August 28, 1931) and Christian Socialist who wrote the original Pledge of Allegiance in 1892. It was published in the Youth's Companion, which was a nationally circulated magazine for adolescents, and by 1892 was the largest publication of any type in the United States, with a circulation around 500,000. His cousin Edward Bellamy is the noted author of the socialist utopian novels, Looking Backward (1888) and Equality (1897).


Christian socialism generally refers to those on the Christian left whose politics are both Christian and socialist and who see these two philosophies as being interrelated. This category can include Liberation theology and the doctrine of the social gospel.

Liberation theology - Jeremiah Wright
social gospel - Social Justice 'Is a Perversion of the Gospel' - Glenn Beck

Or you have not read the thread yet?
You should read it it is very educational on the pledge.

You are not familiar with the phrase "showing your ass"?

or just playing ignorant?

I'm just a little creeped at you wanting to look at my ass...

another failed ass-sumption on your part.
show where I ever wanted to look at your ass?
I merely said you were showing your ass.

But I wasn't showing my ass...

I just asked my wife and she can clearly see me in my jeans...

You have a weird ass fixation, though... I guess we all have to have a hobby...

Time for some more education for ya.

Show your ass
Making yourself look like a jackass or an asshole, being a dick. embarrassing yourself or the people you are with in public or in front of other people, usually by doing something socially unacceptable. exposing your true colors in a negative way. also, having a nasty attitude in a public setting.
When my husband started that argument, yelling all our personal business while we were out in the street, he didn't do anything but show his ass to the neighbors.

when you decided to dance with that tramp instead of your girlfriend, that's when you decided to show your ass

Urban Dictionary: Show your ass

Well, I wasn't "showing my ass" in any vernacular....

Just posting...

How about you stop fixating on my ass, though, OK?

I agree, I just do not think the Pledge is mindless Nationalism. It's a pledge to the Idea of America and constitutional Government. Not to the State. IMO anyways.

uh huh

Nationalism is an infantile disease. It is the measles of mankind.~Albert Einstein

yes and it should be common knowledge but neocons run the school system and nothing negative about america can be printed in school textbooks so no is aware of America's funding and physical support of the Nazi's

this is why we need more informed people to have kids. my stepson and any future kids will be fully aware of such history and many other events well before he/she/they graduate high school

Imagine how unamerican they were.

Intellectually bankrupt strawman argument.

They didn't drive cars either. Or use the internet.

Means nothing.

But you keep the delusion and see how far that bullshit gets you.
