While listening to local progressive talk radio today, a local radio host commented on a pledge of allegiance "controversy" that occurred recently in a US city. The fact that it occurred isn't the issue here. The issue is that this progressive radio host seemed to make a point that no politicians adhere to a pledge or the an oaths of office so why would anyone need to say the pledge or take an oath. In fact, he said the pledge was an "abject failure." In his defense, he did say he doesn't mind people reciting the pledge of allegiance. Thank you so much.
The progressive agenda needs citizens to let go of pledges, oaths and other promises in order to gain ground. These pledges and oaths are always given teeth by saying, "so help me God" or " under God." Progressives need us to let go of God and faith because these "unalienable rights" in the Constitution are given to us by God. Without the belief in God, the pledges, oaths and our Constitution itself becomes meaningless. Without the belief in a power higher than human beings, it becomes easier to lie, cheat, and violate pledges and oaths.
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.
