Answer 2

Not you.  I'm sure he knows them better than you, since he has been a senator for years.  Since you Republicans like to talk about the Pledge of Allegiance so much maybe you should know something about it.  Forget, for a moment that it is a lie that Barack Obama doesn't recite the Pledge. You might be surprised to learn that it was written by a Socialist. Now that presents a conundrum (look it up in the dictionary) for Republicans, since they accuse Barack Obama of being a Socialist, and also say that he won't recite the Pledge of Allegiance, which was written by a Socialist.  Does that mean that it is actually Republicans who are Socialists.

It might help you to look at the history of the Pledge of Allegiance. Here is some information about it and links where you can read more.

"MEMPHIS, Tenn. - Descendants of the man who authored the Pledge of Allegiance say he probably wouldn't mind the removal of the words "under God" because he wouldn't have wanted them added in the first place. Scott Bellamy, 49, who owns a sandwich shop in a Memphis suburb, says his great-grandfather, Francis Bellamy, a socialist editor and Baptist minister, had clear reasons behind every word of the original pledge he wrote in 1892.

Francis Bellamy protested even the addition of "the United States of America" on Flag Day in 1924, believing the pledge as he wrote it did not need changing. "If he didn't want 'the United States of America' in the pledge, he wouldn't have wanted 'under God,"' Scott Bellamy told The Commercial Appeal of Memphis."

Bellamy's original Pledge read, "I pledge allegiance to my Flag and the Republic for which it stands, one nation, indivisible, with liberty and justice for all. America"

"The Pledge of Allegiance was written in 1892 by Francis Bellamy (1855-1931), a Baptist minister, a Christian Socialist, and the cousin of Socialist Utopian novelist Edward Bellamy (1850-1898). Bellamy's original "Pledge of Allegiance" was published in the September 8th issue of the popular children's magazine The Youth's Companion as part of the National Public-School Celebration of Columbus Day, a celebration of the 400th anniversary of Christopher Columbus's discovery of America, conceived by James B. Upham.

The pledge was supposed to be quick and to the point. Bellamy designed it to be stated in 15 seconds. He had initially also considered using the words equality and fraternity but decided they were too controversial since many people opposed equal rights for women and blacks.

An early version of the salute, adopted in 1892, was known as the Bellamy salute. It also ended with the arm outstretched and the palm upwards, but began with the right hand outstretched, palm facing downward. However, during World War II the outstretched arm became identified with Nazism and Fascism, and the custom was changed: today the Pledge is said from beginning to end with the right hand over the heart.

After a proclamation by President Benjamin Harrison, the Pledge was first used in public schools on October 12, 1892 during Columbus Day observances.

The Knights of Columbus in New York City felt that the pledge was incomplete without any reference to a deity."
