Why does it bother you that the words were not there, do you have an agenda???

Pledge of Allegiance - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Context...context people. Small changes until 1954 when ACTIVIST Congressman wanted to change part of our American history, for fear's sake.

Where's the outrage from the extreme right @ that? Crickets...like usual.

Oh, and by the way...the man who wrote the Pledge of Allegiance...was a socialist.

Now, that should certainly put the extremists panties in a wad. Too good.

"the deed"?? Hahaha, and yeah..3 minutes, 3 hours, 3 years..Who cares? It was an apology. There is no need to rerun it just to put the words back in. It wasn't a news story in itself..it was filler.
