Interesting info on the “Pledge of Allegiance”
I found this interesting:
Inclusion of the 1954 words “under God” into America’s national patriotic pledge (which was originally written without any reference to God) was the result of a congressional resolution which became public law yet which the Supreme Court of the United States, in 1943 (West Virginia State Board of Education v. Barnette), had already ruled cannot be required. It was passed by pandering and misguided congressional politicians in the McCarthy era of American history when communism was a major concern in America. Insertion of “under God” into the pledge is a direct slap in the face of the Founding Fathers who commanded: “no religious test shall ever be required” (Art. 6., Sec., 3, Constitution, 1787) and of the First Congress which commanded: “religion” shall not be established by law or Congress (First Amendment).
All of you religious crazies please read the full text here.
