Back to the original topic, did any of you notice it says Republic and not Democracy? Seems many in our country do not know the difference. Of course that shouldn't be a surprise I guess, considering the gov't education centers have drilled it into generations of Americans that we are a democracy and that the majority should rule.

Now, but the original pledge as written in the late 1800's was:

I pledge allegiance to my Flag and the Republic for which it stands, one nation, indivisible, with liberty and justice for all.

You are absolutely correct. The original (Bellamy? or whomever it was) version is the one you have quoted.:smile:

The pledge was written in 1892 by Baptist Minister Francis Bellamy and the words Under God were added by Congress in 1954.
