Red Skelton's Commentary on 'The Pledge of Allegiance'
From the Red Skelton Hour, January 14, 1969
Actual Recording with 'Real Audio'

I
- - Me; an individual; a committee of one.

Pledge
- - Dedicate all of my worldly goods to give without self-pity.

Allegiance
- - My love and my devotion.

To the Flag
- - Our standard; Old Glory ; a symbol of courage; and wherever she waves there is respect, because your loyalty has given her a dignity that shouts, Freedom is everybody's job.

Of The United
- - That means that we have all come together.

States
- - Individual communities that have united into forty-eight great states. Forty-eight individual communities with pride and dignity and purpose. All divided by imaginary boundaries, yet united to a common cause, and that is love of country, of America

. And to the Republic
- - Republic--a sovereign state in which power is invested in representatives chosen by the people to govern. And government is the people; and it's from the people to the leaders, not from the leaders to the people.

For which it stands

One Nation
- - One Nation--meaning, so blessed by God.

Indivisible
- - Incapable of being divided.

With Liberty
- - Which is Freedom; the right of power for one to live his own life, without fears, threats, or any sort of retaliation.

And Justice
- - The principle, or qualities, of dealing fairly with others.

For All
- - For All--that means, boys and girls, it's as much your country as it is mine.

And now, boys and girls, let me hear you recite the Pledge of Allegiance:

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

Since I was a small boy, two states have been added to our country, and two words have been added to the Pledge of Allegiance: Under God. Wouldn't it be a pity if someone said that is a prayer, and that be eliminated from schools, too?

Red Skelton (July 18, 1913 - Sept 17, 1997)

Thanks Red, ... "Good Night and...May God Bess"

our heroes like white hats...

Of course, we do have heroes that wear black berets...

Welcome all Newbies, Newcomers and Lurkers.

Last week was the perfect example of why you need FreeRepublic - the multitude of information available quickly and without media spin was at another peak. FreeRepublic is at its best when there are large scale events happening.

Welcome aboard. Join the fun. Help ferret out the idiocy.

Welcome to all the newcomers. I promise you will learn things here that would NEVER be covered by most of the national media. Issues that are very important to the American way of life and the freedoms we hold dear. Part of that to many is the freedom of prayer. If you have any concerns that are weighing heavy on your mind, post it to the Daily Prayer Thread. We are a family here and prayer does work. God Bless America

To: Alamo-Girl,Welcome new Freepers and new Lurkers.
Jim Robinson wrote a patriotic article about the need for
Free Republic to stand united behind President Bush
and the need for national security.
By now the thread is very long but Jim's statement is at the very top and should be read by all.

Loose Lips Sinks Ships Author: Jim Robinson

Two different and important threads.
