Look at our country! !! Are you proud?
Yeap they sure do like the money with God’s name on it haven’t heard anyone saying that offended them
It’s read “under God” since 1954, why is it a problem now ? If you choose not to say that then don’t say it, I choose to always say it
The Pledge of Allegiance was written in August 1892 by Francis Bellamy (1855–1931), who was a Baptist minister, a Christian socialist,[5][6] and the cousin of socialist utopian novelist Edward Bellamy (1850–1898). Bellamy’s grave site is located at the Rome Cemetery in Rome, New York. The original “Pledge of Allegiance” was published in the September 8 issue of the popular children’s magazine The Youth’s Companion as part of the National Public-School Celebration of Columbus Day, a celebration of the 400th anniversary of Christopher Columbus’s arrival in the Americas. The event was conceived and promoted by James B. Upham, a marketer for the magazine, as a campaign to instill the idea of American nationalism in students and sell flags to public schools.[7] According to author Margarette S. Miller this was in line with Upham’s vision which he “would often say to his wife: ‘Mary, if I can instill into the minds of our American youth a love for their country and the principles on which it was founded, and create in them an ambition to carry on with the ideals which the early founders wrote into The Constitution, I shall not have lived in vain.'”[8]
Indoctrination at its best
The WHY is that we have allowed too many illegals to invade our country, elected another illegal as POTUS, and allowed Political correctness reach an extreme. Politicians are not severely punished for corruption, cronyism, and lawlessness.
Never in my worst nightmare did I ever believe our flag, our pledge, and our anthem would be criticized as it is today.
Time to stand up for America and Americans. We need a massive deportation of those who do not want to assimilate.
…said the American Indian.
Obama has done this and Hillary is just like him. I will turn my back on our FLAG,PLEDGE AND ANTHEM. OBAMO HAS DESTROYED OUR COUNTRY. GOD COMES FIRST IN MY LIFE.
Spics, ragheads, progressives/democrats. Can you say racist? Only works one way, right?

The two words “under God” were placed in the pledge in 1954. It wasn’t important til then. In that instance it was only added because of the Red Scare. As for “In God We Trust” on money, Christ said render unto Caesar what is Caesars, pointing out and downplaying the images on coinage was unimportant. Money to us, Christians should be unimportant anyway. We lay up our treasures in heaven. Besides my religion is in my heart not on currency or in a few words I memorized as a child.
