To all who read, I've been thinking about our pledge of allegiance in the U.S. I wonder if many really know the actual meaning behind it so I have picked it apart and here are the 3 parts I have come up with. The first is what it states, the second is in lamen's terms, the third is what I see has happened. You decide if I'm right.
What it says:
I pledge allegiance
To the flag
Of the United States of America
To the republic
For which it stands
One nation under God
Indivisable
With liberty
And justice for all
Lamen's terms:
I give oath to a country,
To a piece of material,
Of the country.
To the state,
In which the governing body,
Resides in the people,
And the powers elected by them.
For which it stands,
One body of land under God,
Incapable of being divided,
With freedom from being kept down,
By unjust use or authority,
Or the domination of a government not freely chosen,
And fairness and honesty to all.
What has been done:
I give an oath,
To the country.
They can run my life,
I give up.
They can kill,
They can lie and build fear,
Unfairly, unjustly, greedily.
The government can elect and decide,
For itself and its leaders.
For which it now stands,
The body of land that is God's,
I now hand over to the government,
To become God.
I will divide,
And allow unjust use,
Of force and authoriy.
Let the domination of government,
Choose itself,
With deceit to all.
patriot: One who loves his country and zealously guards its welfare; esp., a defender of popular liberty.
Liberty: Freedom from oppression, tyranny, or the domination of a government not freely chosen.
oppression: To burden or keep down by harsh and unjust use of force or authority. 2.) To lie heavy upon physically or mentally.
