I pledge allegiance to the flag of the United States of America and to the republic for which it stands: one nation under God, indivisible, with liberty and justice for all.

A bit ironic that he loses on the word "justice," but it's ironic that it's even in there in the first place considering that it became hypocritical when the phrase supposedly delineating our nation's one religion was added.
the word he actually drops is "indivisible". Tell that to Texas.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bellamy_salute
To quote Wikipedia: "The Pledge of Allegiance was written in 1892 by Francis Bellamy (1855-1931), a Baptist minister, a Christian socialist, and the cousin of socialist utopian novelist Edward Bellamy (1850-1898)."
The under god bit made me uncomfortable as well; even then I wasn't going to pretend like I believed in god. Yet they wanted to make it very clear that you are not a true American and not truly welcome unless you do. And they succeeded in that much at least, making me believe I was an outsider from the time I was very young.
but I do distinctly remember being offended and irritated by the pledge, even when no one around me questioned or criticized it.
Same here.
Interesting stuff about the salutes.
As i recall, impassioned rhetoric for "one nation (reich) under God, indivisible, with liberty and justice for all." made up a good portion of Hitler's Nuremberg Rally speech at the end of the "Triumph of the Will" propaganda film.
