School Restores ‘Under God’ to Pledge

Image result for children reciting pledge of allegiance

The other day I reported that the school next door to me had deleted the words “under God”–as in “one nation under God”–from the Pledge of Allegiance. In fact, I’d first noticed that back in April.

This morning, “under God” was back.

What gives? Had people called up the school board to complain? Or did the fact that school board elections are just around the corner have anything to do with it?

I’ll be keeping my ears peeled, to try to discern whether there’s any pattern in this.  I could always contact the board myself, and ask for an explanation, but for the time being I prefer to wait and see.

Guaranteed Non-PC: ‘The American Hymn’

I’m old enough to remember learning this in school–The American Hymn, composed in 1866 by Matthias Keller.

I couldn’t find a video featuring both music and lyrics. Why do you suppose that might be? But the opening words are, “Speed our republic, O Father on high.”

Personally, although I love my country, I love it more for what it ought to be, than for what it is. What it is becoming, I detest.

But today is Independence Day, a day commemorating the brightest of hopes founded on trust in God Almighty.

Let us declare our independence, and win it, from the Godless socialist moral imbeciles who lord it over us today.

P.S.: Here are the complete lyrics
