To: Uncle Bill
Love the Pledge, except for that indivisable thing. I think I should be able to divorce my wife if she keeps beatin' me up. A republic should be a voluntary association, shouldn't it? Otherwise it's just a shotgun marriage.
Or does that line just reflect the hope of comity that would endear one State to its neighbors?

It doesn't matter anymore. It was
destroyed some time ago. It's pretend now. No shots were fired. It's just a matter of herding sheep into outside slaughter pens now. Then the government crop-dusters come.
I know, I know, sounds crazy. Give poor Uncle Bill some medication.
The Chief Executive Officer of The United States (our Commander in Chief) will not only make this law, but will also judge, under the cloak of secrecy, what constitutes classified information. As H.R. 4210 section 611f, repeals security clearances and oaths, classified information may concern an action unfaithful to the Constitution that he has previously sworn to uphold. In our rush to find relief from a fomented fear of apocalyptic terror, will we trample into the dust every document guaranteeing our liberties? [15]
The same blessing is not extended to the states who rightfully deserve to determine the outcome of their fates. Instead, Congress repeals the rights of states to use funds to prepare for 'hazards' (sec. 5. DEFINITIONS, "hazard" means an emergency or disaster resulting from a natural, accidental or man caused event - "including a domestic terrorist attack involving a weapon of mass destruction.")
Well, back to Communists, a.k.a "Progressives.

Some interesting history on the Pledge of Allegiance. Apparently it was written by a liberal socialist in an attempt to instill a sense of nationalism over statism. Take a look
here.
