If you find yourself at a barbecue today discussing the state of the world there is a chance you will find someone who thinks the country has lost sight  of its values. If they start going on about how kids don’t even say the pledge anymore you can hit them with this nugget.

They’ll probably respond with how NPR is socialist liberal propaganda.

The pledge is incredibly creepy, honestly. When did schools stop doing it?

She didn’t even mention the fact that “under God” wasn’t in the pledge then, though it’s at least shown in this shot

And let’s not forget that the *correct* pledge is:

“ I, [name], do swear, that I will be faithful and bear true allegiance to Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II. [5]

Nothing says “freedom” quite like forcing children to swear fealty to the S tate. Nope, no cognitive dissonance there at all.

Waitwaitwait, are you saying that the way things are *at this instant * isn’t how things always were? That’s crazy talk. Next you’ll be suggesting that marriage *isn’t* the union of one man and as many women as he can afford, exactly as depicted in the Bible .
