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.

Thirty-one words tightly compressed into one sentence, a sentence that is more universally known and more often repeated in America than any other. (Heritage.org)

Reflecting on liberty in America, a theme that our Founding Fathers embraced and cherished to the extent that they filled our documents and Constitution with protections of it. Unfortunately Democrats have perverted "freedom" which can now be spelled "freedumb." Joe Biden is Freedumb's Poster Boy.

"Indivisible"? Dividing Americans by race and social class has been at the forefront of Democrat politics for sixty or more years. "I'll have them ******* voting Democrat for the next two hundred years." - Lyndon Baines Johnson, Democrat President

"Justice"? When Democrats are smearing and destroying police departments coast to coast? When murders and rapes are up sharply as a result of freedumb and the divisiveness of BLM and public education brainwashing American's youth?

Black murderers, four of them, walked free on $7,500 bail for ten years after murdering Jacqueline Gardener in 2012. After countless millions spent on defensive maneuvers, the shooter pled guilty to a lesser charge and got a few years in prison.

Was there any rioting by whites? Any protests? She was an innocent victim, unlike Floyd, an habitual felon and drug addict who resisted arrest. Many more cases of black on white murder here:

 
The U.S. Pledge of Allegiance to the Flag was written in 1892 by then 37-year-old minister Francis Bellamy. The original version of Bellamy’s pledge read, “I pledge allegiance to my Flag and the Republic, for which it stands,—one nation, indivisible—with liberty and justice for all.” By not specifying to which flag or which republic allegiance was being pledged, Bellamy suggested that his pledge could be used by any country, as well as the United States.

Bellamy wrote his pledge for inclusion in the Boston-published Youth's Companion magazine – “The Best of American Life in Fiction Fact and Comment.” The pledge was also printed on leaflets and sent to schools throughout the United States at the time. The first recorded organized recital of the original Pledge of Allegiance took place on Oct. 12, 1892, when some 12 million American schoolchildren recited it to commemorate the 400-year anniversary of the voyage of Christopher Columbus.

Despite its widespread public acceptance at the time, important changes to the Pledge of Allegiance as written by Bellamy were on the way.

And this is how it was said by school children.

In a six grade public rural Grade School in Central Ohio we recited the Pledge of Allegiance first and the Lord's Prayer second before class started every morning. This changed in 5th grade, no more Lord's Prayer. In 6th grade no more Pledge of Allegiance.

Your post is stupid as fuck but I just wanted to mention how weird it is that we have our children recite a pledge of absolute loyalty to the country everyday from before they can even read a chapter book. Though I suppose it's no weirder than initiating them into whatever religion happens to be popular in their birth region all over the world. Hmm.

Bellamy salute - Wikipedia
The Bellamy salute is a palm-out salute described by Francis Bellamy, the author of the American Pledge of Allegiance, as the gesture which was to accompany the pledge. During the period when it was used with the Pledge of Allegiance, it was sometimes known as the "flag salute". Both the Pledge and its salute originated in 1892. Later, during the 1920s and 1930s, Italian fascists and Nazi Germans adopted a …

This Was The United States' National Salute Until 1942
Though it may seem like alternate history — something that couldn’t possibly have been true — the Bellamy Salute was quite standard until 1942. That, in turn, may appear even stranger — children across

Right wingers had no problem being rebels without a Cause. Fantasy is what right wingers are best at.
 
A pledge of allegiance is illegal to require because it is supposed to be the other way around.
The country and flag are supposed to stand for OUR individual freedom of political expression, belief, and association.

Lol, I'm not surprised to see lefties looking for loopholes to use to exploit or marginalize the pledge. Lefties really resent the pledge...

I take it that you didn't know he was a socialist.

Bellamy was a Christian socialist who "championed 'the rights of working people and the equal distribution of economic resources, which he believed was inherent in the teachings of Jesus.'"

In 1891, Bellamy was "forced from his Bostonpulpit for preaching against the evils of capitalism", and eventually stopped attending church altogether after moving to Florida, reportedly because of the racism he witnessed there.

Francis's career as a preacher ended because of his tendency to describe Jesus as a socialist.

Francis Bellamy was a Christian Socialist. The Nazi type salute was dropped in the run up to WW2.
