I looked this up and found who originally wrote the pledge. below. But I think we should at least know the Pledge and then each day study the Constitution before "they" change it or destroy it.
Francis Bellamy (1855 - 1931), a Baptist minister, wrote the original Pledge in August 1892. He was a Christian Socialist. In his Pledge, he is expressing the ideas of his first cousin, Edward Bellamy, author of the American socialist utopian novels, Looking Backward (1888) and Equality (1897).
Francis Bellamy in his sermons and lectures and Edward Bellamy in his novels and articles described in detail how the middle class could create a planned economy with political, social and economic equality for all. The government would run a peace time economy similar to our present military industrial complex.
The Pledge was published in the September 8th issue of The Youth's Companion, the leading family magazine and the Reader's Digest of its day. Its owner and editor, Daniel Ford, had hired Francis in 1891 as his assistant when Francis was pressured into leaving his baptist church in Boston because of his socialist sermons. As a member of his congregation, Ford had enjoyed Francis's sermons. Ford later founded the liberal and often controversial Ford Hall Forum, located in downtown Boston.
In 1892 Francis Bellamy was also a chairman of a committee of state superintendents of education in the National Education Association. As its chairman, he prepared the program for the public schools' quadricentennial celebration for Columbus Day in 1892. He structured this public school program around a flag raising ceremony and a flag salute - his 'Pledge of Allegiance.'
His original Pledge read as follows: 'I pledge allegiance to my Flag and (to*) the Republic for which it stands, one nation, indivisible, with liberty and justice for all.' He considered placing the word, 'equality,' in his Pledge, but knew that the state superintendents of education on his committee were against equality for women and African Americans. [ * 'to' added in October, 1892. ]
Dr. Mortimer Adler, American philosopher and last living founder of the Great Books program at Saint John's College, has analyzed these ideas in his book, The Six Great Ideas. He argues that the three great ideas of the American political tradition are 'equality, liberty and justice for all.' 'Justice' mediates between the often conflicting goals of 'liberty' and 'equality.'
In 1923 and 1924 the National Flag Conference, under the 'leadership of the American Legion and the Daughters of the American Revolution, changed the Pledge's words, 'my Flag,' to 'the Flag of the United States of America.' Bellamy disliked this change, but his protest was ignored.
In 1954, Congress after a campaign by the Knights of Columbus, added the words, 'under God,' to the Pledge. The Pledge was now both a patriotic oath and a public prayer.
Bellamy's granddaughter said he also would have resented this second change. He had been pressured into leaving his church in 1891 because of his socialist sermons. In his retirement in Florida, he stopped attending church because he disliked the racial bigotry he found there.
What follows is Bellamy's own account of some of the thoughts that went through his mind in August, 1892, as he picked the words of his Pledge:
It began as an intensive communing with salient points of our national history, from the Declaration of Independence onwards; with the makings of the Constitution...with the meaning of the Civil War; with the aspiration of the people...
The true reason for allegiance to the Flag is the 'republic for which it stands.' ...And what does that vast thing, the Republic mean? It is the concise political word for the Nation - the One Nation which the Civil War was fought to prove. To make that One Nation idea clear, we must specify that it is indivisible, as Webster and Lincoln used to repeat in their great speeches. And its future?
Just here arose the temptation of the historic slogan of the French Revolution which meant so much to Jefferson and his friends, 'Liberty, equality, fraternity.' No, that would be too fanciful, too many thousands of years off in realization. But we as a nation do stand square on the doctrine of liberty and justice for all...
If the Pledge's historical pattern repeats, its words will be modified during this decade. Below are two possible changes.
Some prolife advocates recite the following slightly revised Pledge: '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, born and unborn.'
A few liberals recite a slightly revised version of Bellamy's original Pledge: 'I pledge allegiance to my Flag, and to the Republic for which it stands, one nation, indivisible, with equality, liberty and justice for all.'

If the 9/11 conspiracy is true, how hasn' t somebody spilled the truth yet?
The government labels anybody who questions them conspiracy theorist tin foil hat wearers because what's the charge of committing conspiracy of treason again? I think the firemen on 9/11 hearing explosives, the families of 9/11 victims who were angery at the 9/11 commission's cover up, the numerous engineers who say it had to be a demolition, a former Minnesota governor, a well accomplished WINNING multi million dollar making actor, numerous documentaries showing the business connections from Islamic terrorizers to political officals and 2 radio DJ's who came from nothing predicting it before hand would be enough but those women with them big ol' titties as news anchors know how to pursaude the most intelligent people to not question shit. Your dad is a propaganda believing pervert
Explain to him the CFR and Bilderberg Group planned it since the days of Kennedy who wouldn't go along with it so then he got shot with a magic buillet according to sane people but the insane believe the Zapruder film. Secret Socities is another name for organized mafia families.
" I hope to show that most modern secret societies and especially those that practice degrees of initiation — and that is the key — are really one society with one purpose. You may call them whatever you wish — the Order of the Quest, the JASON Society, the Roshaniya, the Qabbalah, the Knights Templar, the Knights of Malta, the Knights of Columbus, the Jesuits, the Masons, the Ancient and Mystical Order of Rosae Crucis, the Illuminati, the Nazi Party, the Communist Party, the Executive Members of the Council on Foreign Relations, The Group, the Brotherhood of the Dragon, the Rosicrucians, the Royal Institute of International Affairs, the Trilateral Commission, the Bilderberg Group, the Open Friendly Secret Society (the Vatican), the Russell Trust, the Skull & Bones, the Scroll & Key, the Order — they are all the same and all work toward the same ultimate goal, a New World Order. - Milton William (Bill) Cooper "Behold a Pale Horse"
Johann Adam Weishaupt (6 February 1748 – 18 November 1830[1][2][3][4]) was a German philosopher and founder of the Order of Illuminati, a secret society with origins in Bavaria.
Thule-Gesellschaft), originally the Studiengruppe für germanisches Altertum ("Study Group for Germanic Antiquity"), was a German occultist and völkisch group in Munich, named after a mythical northern country from Greek legend. The Society is notable chiefly as the organization that sponsored the Deutsche Arbeiterpartei (DAP), which was later reorganized by Adolf Hitler into the National Socialist German Workers' Party (NSDAP or Nazi Party). According to Hitler biographer Ian Kershaw, the organization's "membership list...reads like a Who's Who of early Nazi sympathizers and leading figures in Munich.
Skull and Bones is an undergraduate senior secret society at Yale University, New Haven, Connecticut. It is the oldest senior class landed society at Yale and acknowledged as the leader among the College's Big Three societies that include Scroll and Key Society and Wolf's Head Society. The society's alumni organization, which owns the society's real property and oversees the organization, is the Russell Trust Association, named for William Huntington Russell,[1] who co-founded Skull and Bones with classmate Alphonso Taft.
So maybe there is something true about a presidential candidate being from some royal bloodline?
They all are of the Merovingian bloodline of Europe and connect somewhere with royalty. They are all traced back to the same ancestors.
Burke's Peerage came up with this data a few decades ago at least but only recently has it become known that most of the American "aristocracy" are directly related to the European peerage.
Now let me see if I can dig up the links and proof of this. I know they all reach back to a few common ancestors and the Bush family, among others, can actually be traced back to ancient Egypt .. and more recently, ancient Rome.
From this site you can trace them all back to Philip of Macedonia, father of Alexander the Great, founder of the Ptolemy Reign of Egypt. Cleopatra was the last Ptolemy to reign.
One does not need to smoke a bong to know history CFB. One does not need to be stoned to see what is true. The truly stoned one is the one hiding behind rocks of ignorance. They are the ones who have not done their research and respond with foolish quips to hide their lack of knowledge/
From the Merovingians, this bloodline's connections to the present day include: Charlemagne (742-814), who ruled as Emperor of the West in the Holy Roman Empire; a stream of French kings, including Robert II, Philip Ist, II and III, and Louis Ist, II, VI, VII, VIII, VIIII, XIII, IX, XV, and XVI.
The latter married Marie Antoinette of this same bloodline and both were executed in the French Revolution. But they produced the son who became Daniel Payseur, who was taken to the United States where he became the secret force behind the Morgan and Carnegie empires and owned vast amounts of real estate, banking, and industrial holdings.
This bloodline also connects to the de Medici family which supported Christopher Columbus and produced Catherine de Medici, the Queen of France who died in 1589.
Her doctor was Nostradamus: It includes Rene d'Anjou, Duke of Lorraine, and the House of Lorraine which employed Nostradamus and Christopher Columbus.
The bloodline relatives of the de Medicis and the House of Lorraine, Queen Isabella of Castille and King Ferdinand of Spain, were also sponsors of Beastly Chris Columbus when he "discovered" the Americas.
This bloodline also includes:
1. the Habsburgs, the most powerful family in Europe under the Holy Roman Empire
2. Geoffrey Plantagenet and the Plantagenet royal dynasty in England
3. King John, who signed the Magna Carta
4. King Henry Ist, II, and III, who were extremely close to the Knights Templar, as was King John
5. Mary Stuart and the Stuart Dynasty, including King James Ist of England, sponsor of the King James version of the Bible
6. King George Ist, II, and III
7. Edward Ist, II, and III, Queen Victoria
8. Edward VII
9. George V and VI
10. Queen Elizabeth II
11. Prince Charles and Elizabeth's other offspring, Anne, Andrew and Edward
12. Princes William and Harry from Charles' "marriage" to Princess Diana
13. US Presidents, George Washington, John Adams, John Quincy Adams, Thomas Jefferson, Franklin Delano Roosevelt, and George Bush are all named in the charts as strands of this bloodline
14. it was passed on to the year 2000 US presidential favorite, George W. Bush Jr., and his brother, Jeb Bush, the Governor of Florida
In fact if you go deeply enough into the genealogical research you will find that ALL the presidents are from this line.
Genealogical sources, like the New England Historical Genealogical Society and Burkes Peerage, have shown that
33 of the 42 presidents to Clinton are related to Charlemagne and 19 are related to England's Edward III, both of whom are of this bloodline.
A spokesman for Burkes Peerage, the bible of royal and aristocratic genealogy based in London, has said that every presidential election since and including George Washington in 1789 has been won by the candidate with the most royal genes. Now we can see how and why.
United States presidents are not chosen by ballot, they are chosen by blood!
