Americans woke up today to the news that Congress had re-worded the Pledge of Allegiance. This is only the 5th time in U.S. history that the pledge has been modified.
The Pledge of Allegiance since 1954:
"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."
The 21st Century Pledge of Allegiance:
"I pledge allegiance to the government in Washington, DC,
and to the special interests for which it stands,
one nation, 50% of whom receive government payments,
however unbelievable,
with liberty and blah,blah, blah...for all."
