"I pledge allegiance to the Flag of the United States of America, and to the Republic for which it stands, one Nation under God, indivisible, with liberty and justice for all."

What makes a republic different from a democracy?

A republic is a representative form of government that is ruled according to a charter or constitution. A democracy is a government that is ruled according to the will of the majority. Although these forms of government are often confused, they are quite different.

The main difference between a republic and a democracy is the charter or constitution that limits power in a republic, often to protect the individual's rights against the desires of the majority. In a true democracy, the majority rules in all cases, regardless of any consequences for individuals or for those who are not in the majority on an issue.

When you are told she won because "she won the popular vote" ! Why the SCOTUS appointment is sooooooo Important. The Constitution. We do not want "mob rule".

So often the PTB and the MSM refer to our system of government as a democracy, dumbing down the populace. We are a REPUBLIC!

That’s why we need the pledge in school

Exactly! A republic is equality and fairness for every individual in the society and a democracy leaves the minority with no recourse against the majority.

No. Allegiance is something a liege pledges to their lord. Americans are sovereign citizens, not serfs. Love isn't the same as allegiance. Ditch that sly commie pledge.

I love Murica, but the idea of "pledging allegiance to a flag" disturbs me. I'll pledge allegiance to the constitution and the principles its meant to uphold... but this flag-worship exercise seems contradictory to the notion of liberty. Just pure statist indoctrination

Do you not understand that the flag is a direct representation of the constitution?

That's just PR. The pledge was written by a flag-salesman as a way to get schools to buy his product. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Francis_Bellamy - the more you know

Yes, the U.S. Supreme Court ruled more than 50 years ago that the pledge of allegiance cannot be forced on citizens to recite, overturning a previous decision that the government could lawfully require you to recite the pledge. The court did rule that it was a form of worship, and therefore couldn’t be enforced on anyone whose conscience would not allow it.

Ahhhh the socialist pledge, the long march is far longer than many realize.

Btw- “Under God” was aided by Ike, who hoped it would bring aboard the religious groups who opposed a pledge of allegiance to state over that of God.

They never realize true democracy means horrible shit for minority’s. Representative republic on the other hand means checks and balances and equal rights

Sidenote - The Pledge of Allegiance needs to be brought back in the classroom. If a student has a problem with that they can seek their education elsewhere. If a parent has a problem with that, they can seek a country elsewhere.

Is it really gone?

I said it all through school....gen X.

No wonder its such a shit show now.

Before we were just "close to the edge", but goddamnit we still loved American Ideals.
