What does "under god"mean in context, anyway? That we are divinely mandated? Clearly we aren't. Is god sitting on us? It could explain smog in some
locations, especially if God is pleased with our invention of seven-layer dip (who wouldn't be?) but I find it a little unlikely that it is quite so
literal.
It's a piece of propaganda that was inserted into another piece of propaganda, and as such is a display if insecurity both in terms of
national strength and religious identity.
Personally? I never say the pledge, and there is no law stating I must. I do not care if it is three nations, somewhat fractious, under Bob Hope,
really. But I can understand those who would want to remove it again than those who demand it stays.
it is very strange to see the largest and most repressive-minded group in the entire nation, the one most flooded with bigots, rapists, and murderers,
claiming that it is being "oppressed" in any form or shape, as the Christians do.
