Pledge of Allegiance
Contrary to popular belief, the Pledge of Allegiance has not been around since the country's founding. The pledge first appeared in 1892, was codified in 1942 with "under God" added in 1954. Reciting the pledge is voluntary, yet Baby boomers grew up reciting it in school every morning. Today, the secular left is aggressively trying to eliminate the "under God" element of the pledge as part of their overall "freedom from religion" agenda. The right is determined to maintain the pledge in its 1954 version.

No place for common sense in America any more, but here is some anyway, with tongue planted firmly in cheek.

As a man [or woman], I used to think I was pretty much just a regular person, but I was born white, into a two-parent household which now, whether I like it or not, makes me “Privileged”, a racist & responsible for slavery.
  • I am a fiscal & moral conservative, which by today’s standards, makes me a fascist because I plan, budget & support myself.
  • I went to High School, got a degree, got in some college & have always held a job. But I now find out that I am not here because I earned it, but because I was “advantaged”.
  • I am heterosexual, which according to “gay” folks, now makes me a homophobe.
  • I am not a Muslim, which now labels me as an infidel.
  • I believe in the 2nd Amendment, which makes me a de facto member of the “vast NRA gun lobby”.
  • I am older than 60, making me a useless eater who doesn’t understand Facebook, Instagram, or Snapchat.
  • I think & I reason, and I doubt much of what the “mainstream” media tells me, which makes me a “Right-wing conspiracy nut”.
  • I am proud of my heritage & our inclusive American culture, making me a xenophobe.
  • I believe in hard work, fair play, & fair compensation according to each individual’s merits, which today makes me an anti-socialist.
