The early Christians were socialist, they pooled their money and food....
And when I say early I mean when Jesus was with them.
Modern forced socialism is nothing like that. If the man who wrote the pledge was thinking of the socialism of the gospel, I have no problem with that. Words mean different things to different people and at different times.
The key difference is that one is voluntary and from the heart, and the other isn't.
Shit in their bowl.
Not your own.
That would be silly.
They shat in your bowl over 100 years and now you're defending it.

I'm not a socalist,but if you knocked on my door starving I would feed you.
That's the very basics of chistanity.
What is voluntary about a mandatory pledge?
Socialism not pledge.
I said the pledge myself every school day for 7 years or more. Things really went to hell, after we quit using it.
I'm now leaning strongly to require it again.
I saw the FUD about the pledge posted here awhile ago.
It just looked silly.
I've fought many epic battles with commies, I prefer not to dox myself by going into details.
If thats Allright with you?
I pick my battles and I research what I consider important.
This looks like a distraction to me.
