FACT: no words of republic are in the U.S. constitution Sorry Bill............you're wrong. Article IV, Section 4. Section 4. The United States shall guarantee to every State in this Union a Republican Form of Government, and shall protect each of them against Invasion; and on Application of the Legislature, or of the Executive (when the Legislature cannot be convened) against domestic Violence.

For the record the Pledge of Alleigiance did NOT exist until the 1880s, when an american flag company formed a strong lobby to get Congress to accept this Corporate conceived promotion To Sell FLAGS, via making it a law that all school children must pladge allegiance to the American Flag--which forced all class rooms to have a American Flag. We beat the Germans even with a MANDATORY surrendering of one's soul to FLAG and Country He called brtainwashing to get people PROGRAMMED to Believe my Country Right or Wrong on the levelo of idolatory. i praise the Jehovah Witnesses that endured severe persecution initially for refusing to say the pledge allegiance, nor to stand to honor a flag.(They also perished in Nazi Extermination Camps for their refusal to pledge allegiance to Germany and its Flag) If want to understand american history, read the late Howard Zinn, one of few honest american historians we have had. Of the founding fathers, the great majority would have denounced the idea of a Pledge of Allegiance---and would have fury over placing the word God into its' content. Jefferson called Democracy AN EXPERIMENT, and warned it would stagnate and fail overtime as power groups took its control, and said democracy would need periodic REVOLUTIONS to keep it a reality. Jefferson if he was blogging today on the internet would be immediately placed on The Potential Terrorist watch list, and have all his communications traced by the FBI and Home Security--he would be viewed as a Dangerous Man! The 'of the people, by the peopple, for the people' is NOW just a hollow phrase!! It exists ONLY as words. Boy this post will get ignores by heel clicking saluting ROBOTS---NOT free men they!!!Max
