Pledge Of Allegiance
Why I Am Proud To Say The Pledge Of Allegiance

I am proud to say the Pledge Allegiance to the flag. The flag represents that we have freedom in speech and equal rights for women and men. I am proud because I have equal rights as a citizen and I am able to go to school unlike other nations. I am also proud that I can have my own religion without having someone else force me into a different one. The flag stands for the republic, which is a democratic government elected by the citizens of the United States. Our republic is different then some other nations,so we should be glad that we, as citizens, can vote for leaders. I am glad of this because if we didn't have this, then we wouldn't be able to have our

    As Joe Barton once said, “Our flag honors those who have fought to protect it, and is a reminder of the sacrifice of our nation’s founders heros.” Our flag is not to be knelt upon, but to stand as one together, remembering how Veterans risked their lives everyday to go to war and give us freedom today. The least we can do is to thank you. You gave me a future, freedom of speech, and an education, and so many more things.…

    Under God in the Pledge

    • 509 Words

    The establishment clause is interesting to me, personally, because I feel that the clause is as vague as it is precise. The establishment clause states that “congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion”, however by not respecting an establishment of religion, you can in turn be respecting an establishment of another religion. In the case Newdow vs. US Congress, The Ninth Court revealed that the sole purpose of inserting ‘under god’ was to advance religion, to differentiate the US from other nations under Communist, or godless, rule. Religion is defined as “a collection of belief systems, cultural systems, and world views…”; to believe in no God most certainly falls under the category of religion, therefore both removing and keeping the ‘Under God’ portion of the Pledge either respects the belief systems of both those who believe in a God, and those who do not. This religious power struggle is the source of our conflict.…

    The Star Spangled Banner

    All lives matter. No matter the color of skin, each life matters. In spite of many people believing this, race does not decide whether or not you get shot by a police officer. Colin Kaepernick is a national league football star who has taken protesting too far. Black lives matter is a great topic to protest against; nevertheless kneeling during the National Anthem is not okay. “The Star Spangled Banner” has been played at every sporting event since the first minor league football game. Choosing to sit now is plain and simple disrespect to America. Colin Kaepernick is showing disrespect towards our United States veterans, furthermore, is an inadequate role model for the thousands of children watching him: he is acting unpatriotic toward America.…

    I think that all the schools in America should have a flag of the U.S on display. It’s good to have a flag at your house. If anyone does have a flag, they should take it down in bad weather like snow, rain, or windy weather. If you do have a flag, you need to all ways take it down at night unless there is a light shining on it. You should always sing the National Anthem at sporting events and say the pledge of Allegiance at political events because it is a good way to show that you love and support your country.…

    People all over the United States are insisting whether or not we as americans have to stand for the pledge of allegiance and national anthem. Standing for the pledge of allegiance and national anthem comes with obligations that go beyond our comfort level. In addition, the united states still has problems with racism and those who are against racism feel the need to not have to stand for the pledge of allegiance and national anthem. Though, standing for the pledge of allegiance respects those who fought for us, it also goes against civil rights and religious beliefs both in which abide with the constitution.…

    France is at a critical point in its history something needs to change if we are to stay united as one France. As of now the national assembly wants to take away the church’s land and change the tradition of the Catholic Church in France. The Civil Constitution of the Clergy wants Church officials to be elected instead of appointed. Elections are not subject to papal confirmation which means that the new bishop may not apply to the pope for any form of confirmation. The new constitution states that the clergy must swear an oath to France first and God and the pope second. They want us to become loyal servants of the state instead of servants of God and the church. This is the direction that France is going in if the Civil Constitution of the…

    In one of the first posts on this blog, I compared Lincoln’s two-minute address with the two-hour oration by Edward Everett on the same occasion. Today the former is universally regarded as one of the most famous speeches in American history; the latter is largely forgotten. Indeed, Everett himself recognized the genius of Lincoln’s speech in a note that he sent to the President shortly after the event:…

I applaud their patriotism, and I thank them for giving me my way of life. I will support them in protecting my country.

    What is “the giving pledge”? It’s a solemnly bound “promise” which beats the normal promise. Because a pledge is something you are bound to do, and there is no way around it. You could say that “pledge” have a higher status of word if you compare it to “promise”. “The giving pledge” is a band of billionaires who donate money to charity.
