[QUOTE="3inSlugger, post: 1893037, member: 18508"] Nope. The Pledge was written just over 100+ years ago by a socialist, Francis Bellamy. "Under God" was not added until the 1950s. The pledge has no relation to the principles of this country in my eyes. There is also no reason to pledge an allegiance to a flag. As to the national anthem, it is a good song written by Francis Scott Key and set to an older British tune. It was not made the anthem until the 1930s. These things all sound very nice, but they have no real value. EDIT: I should add that I cannot understand why we must pledge or commemorate by song the State. It seems like we are honoring the State. Why should we? It serves us, we do not serve it. [/QUOTE]
