Living under tyranny
Are you aware that the original Pledge of Allegiance was written by a socialist by the name of Francis Bellamy? He wrote this allegiance to reflect the views of his cousin who was an author of many socialist novels.
Many words reflected in this pledge have been challenged, like “allegiance” meaning idolatry and God, “To the Republic” meaning we are a union of Republics and “liberty and justice” being nice words. However, a relative concept.
Did you know that socialism actually gained stature at the end of the 19th century and continued in popularity into the 1930s, when our salute to the flag was changed from a fascist salute with the arm extended out to a hand held over the heart? I guess what I mean here is those words can have many meanings and concepts.
As long as our country is a democracy, words can be challenged, but the majority should rule. Our present Congress and administration appear to disagree with that idea. Their decision-making policies are contrary to democracy and the promises that were made to the American people. They have demonstrated by their outrageous dismissive attitude towards the American public that they are not representing us; they are tyrannizing us.
