Can we now take "under God" out of the Pledge of Allegiance?

95 percent my ass.

Take it out.

 

My favorite part of the obit:


He was born in Glasgow, Scotland, and was unfamiliar with the pledge until he heard it recited by his 7-year-old son, Garth.

"I didn't know what the Pledge of Allegiance was, and he recited it, 'one nation, indivisible, with liberty and justice for all,'" he recalled in an interview with The Associated Press in 2004. "I came from Scotland, where we said 'God save our gracious queen,' 'God save our gracious king.' Here was the Pledge of Allegiance, and God wasn't in it at all."

There was little effect from that initial sermon, but he delivered it again on Feb. 7, 1954, after learning that President Dwight Eisenhower would be at the church.

The next day, Rep. Charles G. Oakman, R-Mich., introduced a bill to add the phrase "under God" to the pledge, and a companion bill was introduced in the Senate. Eisenhower signed the law on Flag Day that year.

 

With liberty and blow jobs for all

 

Because you don't agree with the 95 percent part?

 

Here's another fun fact: The words "to the United States of America" weren't added to the Pledge until 1923-24.

 

Care to write SportsJournalists.com's official resolution?

 

The pledge was written by a man who had socialist leanings, less than 150 years ago.
The terms "God" and "United States" were added, against his will, by Daughters of the American Revolution and Knights of Columbus.
It's been sort a work in progress and was last altered around 1950

I did a class project on this subject and loosely remember some of this stuff.

 

If you read the obit I posted, "under God" was added by act of Congress in 1954 at the urging of the Rev. George Docherty who just died.

 

Oh, how I wish that were to actual size.

 

Yes, the Rev. D did push it through after the Knights were unsuccessful in seeking the same thing.
I looked it up on Wiki.

 

When was "play ball" added, Buck?
