You've Been Pledging Your Allegiance To Socialism Your Entire Life And Didn't Even Know It

You've Been Pledging Your Allegiance To Socialism Your Entire Life And Didn't Even Know It | The Pledge of Allegiance was written in August 1892 by the SOCIALIST minister Francis Bellamy (1855-1931). It was originally published in The Youth's Companion on September 8, 1892. Bellamy had hoped that the pledge would be used by citizens in ANY country; In its original form it read: "I pledge allegiance to my Flag and the Republic for which it stands, one nation, indivisible, with liberty and justice for all."; In 1923, the words, "the Flag of the United States of America" were added. At this time it read: "I pledge allegiance to the Flag of the United States of America and to the Republic for which it stands, one nation, indivisible, with liberty and justice for all."; In 1954, in response to the Communist threat of the times, President Eisenhower encouraged Congress to add the words "under God," creating the 31-word pledge we say today. Bellamy's daughter objected to this alteration. Today it reads: "I pledge allegiance to the flag of the United States of America, and to the republic for which it stands, one nation under God, indivisible, with liberty and justice for all." | image tagged in pledge of allegiance,indoctrination,memes,wake up,be aware of your situation,usa | made w/ Imgflip meme maker
