hahaha, good point, and i like your version, by the way. I might pledge heart and mind to it, for emotionally I am attached, but I can also intellectualize the beauty and righteousness of our ideals.

thanx.

Everything pre-McCarthy era is fine with me; i.e. verbatim with only 'under God' taken out.

I want your pledge baker, surely you have the writting skills to come up with one.

Hey Elie, I think you know what mine is but I'll state it for the rest. My pledge is the current pledge "as it stands" with no deletions.

I think the pledge we have now is fine, without the "under God". I have no problem pledging allegiance to our flag or our country. I have no problem with the religious beliefs of others. For me personally, though, saying "under God" is an untruth, and I'd rather my pledge be free of falsehoods.

You just want the nihilist mystique and still be able to condemn people self-righteously based upon whatever values system you happen to favor that particular moment...

Nah. It's just fun being one of the lone voices of dissent in the JU Republican echo chamber.

I wasn't aware of any 'nihilist mystique,' though. I'll have to get the black cape and fangs out of pawn.

after ya die then what myrr? since your off topic.

I beg your pardon? You said write a pledge, I wrote one. "After ya die" is sort of a silly question to ask me, isn't it? I don't think any of us will be pledging allegiance to anything when we're compost. Unless the Flying Spaghetti Monster is real. That's the only deity I'm holding out any hope for.

I come from a nation where there has traditionally been no pledge of this sort. However, it seems that they've now come up with one for new citizens:

Oath of allegiance
I (name) swear by Almighty God that on becoming a British citizen, I will be faithful and bear true allegiance to Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth the Second, her Heirs and Successors, according to law.

(or alternatively) Affirmation of allegiance

I (name) do solemnly and sincerely affirm that on becoming a British citizen, I will be faithful and bear true allegiance to Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth the Second, her Heirs and Successors, according to law.

After the Oath or affirmation, you will take the Citizenship Pledge:

I will give my loyalty to the United Kingdom and respect its rights and freedoms. I will uphold its democratic values. I will observe its laws faithfully and fulfil my duties and obligations as a British citizen.

Incidentally, you also have a legal right to make the oath and pledge in Welsh (or Gaelic) rather than English

WELSH OATH:
Rwyf (enw) yn tyngu i Dduw Hollalluog, wrth ddod yn ddinesydd Prydeinig, y byddaf yn ffyddlon ac yn wir deyrngar i'w Mawrhydi y Frenhines Elizabeth yr Ail, i'w Hetifeddion a'i Holynwyr, yn ôl y Ddeddf.

WELSH PLEDGE:
Byddaf yn deyrngar i'r Deyrnas Unedig a pharchaf ei hawliau a'i rhydd-didau. Byddaf yn cynnal ei gwerthoedd democrataidd. Byddaf yn ufuddhau i'w chyfreithiau yn ffyddlon ac yn cyflawni fy nyletswyddau a'm rhwymedigaethau fel dinesydd Prydeinig.

(SCOTTISH) GAELIC OATH:
Ann an ainm an Tighearna Dia tha mise (ainm) a' bòideachadh air dhomh bhith seulaichte mar shaoranach Breatannach / gum bi mi da-rìribh dìleas do a Mòrachd Rìoghail an dara ban-rìgh Ealasaid, a h-Oighrean agus a Luchd-ionaid a rèir an lagh.

GAELIC PLEDGE:
Bidh mi dìleas don Rìoghachd Aonaichte agus bheir mi urram do a còirichean agus a saorsan. Cumaidh mi suas a luachan deamocratach. Cumaidh mi a laghan gu dìleas agus coilionaidh mi mo dhleastanasan mar shaoranach Breatannach.

Ok, Ok... Here we go with ParaTed2k's Little Known Pledge of Allegience (ok, anyone who even knows me a little bit won't be at all surprized) ;~D

I pledge allegience to our Father in Heaven and to His Son, Jesus Christ; to my wife and family; to The United States of America. I pledge that I will serve my fellow man whenever and however the call comes to me. I claim the rights and freedoms (and acknowledge and accept the responsibilities) that are inherent to being a human being; I also claim the privilege of worshiping according to the dictates of my own conscience, and allow others the same privilege, let them worship how, where, or what they please.

2 out of 3 leave any mention of God out, and still affirms loyality. good stuff.
