A Recited Truth MAG
May 20, 2008
I pledge allegiance
To the flag
Of the United States of America
And to the controversial culture for which it stands
One nation, under whatever deity you choose,
Indivisible since 1965,
With liberty and justice for all who can afford a decent lawyer.

Amen. I'm right with you on that.
How about the Star Spangled Banner?

I don't feel this poem is right. Its disrespectful to those who fought for this country and who helped make this country a place to have freedom of speech. This country will NEVER be perfect no one/place ever will be. That's how we were made, with a choice. people make a choice to sin and that's why the world is so messed up. its good but sadly false.

I think you speak your mind. I respect that. I do agree. Our country is 'free' but you've got a point with that last line. A lot of Americans can't afford lawyers so many get in trouble for something they didn't do. Right on: Keep your opinion strong :)

its truly sad and disgusting what has become of humans in this society which we are solely responsible for crafting. the fine art of corruption seems to of become a forte. what a screwed up cultural system this has become...but hey: there are worse. thats another truth. and its because of that that this nation can still be considered great.
how low man has fallen, how low he continues to descend.

I agree with Sarah B. Talented, very outspoken. But maybe choose something else that isn't our pledge to America to be opininated about.

I like this a LOT. Especially the part that says: One nation, under whatever deity you choose.
I'm agnostic and I used to be atheist so this is SO right. I hate that we have to say "Under God".

I do like this a lot, because I am really into controversial things. But because of that, I have to say I disagree with what you're truly saying. Love the way that it's said and you have talent, but this is America, and being that we have freedom here, anybody here to doesn't like it is more than welcome to leave.

I think the same thing!!! Except the only thing i would add, is why do we pledge to a FLAG?! I mean it is symbolic i guess, but, i mean a bald eagle could work. just why a FLAG?

It was very clever I enjoyed it. As a person who says the pledge but omits "Under God", being atheist, I felt it adressed underlieing issues that many people ignore concerning our society and culture. for a country with separation of church and state, it's very hypocritical.
