One nation (not always), under God (since 1954)

E.J. Montini of the Arizona Republic writes about the hyper-sensitivities surrounding our wrestlings with the Pledge of Allegiance.

Here's my favorite part ...
Why not reinforce the idea that as politicians and the courts argue over the "under God" part, no citizen can be forced to pledge allegiance to the flag, because the "republic for which it stands" protects the rights of everyone, even those with whom the majority of us disagree.
But then rational thought and reasoned discourse doesn't buy votes among the uber patriots and Bible thumpers does it?
