So I read the pledge of Allegiance - GoFuckYourself.com

It was easy, it's only one sentence long.

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.

I'm pretty sure it was written by a Socialist.

Socialism is an economic and political theory advocating public or common ownership and cooperative management of the means of production and allocation of resources

Yea, I could totally see where you got that...

The Pledge of Allegiance was written in 1892 by Francis Bellamy (1855-1931), a Baptist minister, a Christian SOCIALIST, and the cousin of socialist utopian novelist Edward Bellamy (1850-1898). The original "Pledge of Allegiance" was published in the September 8 issue of the popular children's magazine The Youth's Companion as part of the National Public-School Celebration of Columbus Day, a celebration of the 400th anniversary of Christopher Columbus's arrival in the Americas. The event was conceived and promoted by James B. Upham, a marketer for the magazine, in a campaign to sell flags to public schools and magazines to students, while instilling the idea of American nationalism in them.

The Pledge of Allegiance of the United States is an oath of loyalty to the national flag and the republic of the United States of America, originally composed by Francis Bellamy in 1892. The Pledge has been modified four times since then, with the most recent change adding the words "under God" in 1954

Oh how I love it when people purposely omit facts.

The pledge was supposed to be quick and to the point. Bellamy designed it to be recited in 15 seconds. As a SOCIALIST, he had initially also considered using the words equality and fraternity but decided against it - knowing that the state superintendents of education on his committee were against equality for women and African Americans.

It's probably not much more complicated than an oath to the British Queen.
