I'm not surprised that liberals don't want to do the pledge of allegiance but I wish that people on the right would see this as a loyalty oath to the state. What people don't know is that this started out as a creation of a socialist who thought it was a good idea for citizens to be loyal to their government. The original pledge resembled a NAZI salute and over time it was changed to a softer nicer pledge and eventually 'under God' was put in to denote the state is second behind God. This puts the state in its proper place as something that is subservient to man since man and God have a symbiont relationship with each other. Anything that is 'under God' is under man since man is closer to God than man is to the state.
I know I am probably stepping on some toes when I say this and I definitely do distance myself from anti-American liberals who, quite frankly, hate America but the history of the pledge has its roots in radical left wing political ideology. I writers of the constitution would have opposed a loyalty oath because they knew that all men and women are free to pledge their allegiances to whatever they want. They may pledge their allegiance to God, to Alla, to their Family, to their themselves, or even to the state if they wanted to but they understood that it was a choice.
Now that I have said that I would like to say that I have two preferred places where the pledge should go. We should either abolish it which would end the loyalty oath or we should keep the 'Under God' part in (under Humanity would also serve the same purpose since it places the state below man without offending the anti-christian police). Having the 'Under God' part in it makes the pledge of allegiance a non-loyalty oath since it places the state second behind this societies most practiced religion. Its really a state under man which is where the state should be.
Hell! At this point I would be happy for a state with Under the Constitution.

I pledge allegiance to the flag, to the United States of America, One Nation, Under the Constitution, and justice for all--I wonder how that would sound.
