Deacon Duncan of Alethian Worldview at freethoughtblogs.com wants little children to be led in robotic chanting in government schools (socialist schools) for 12 years of their lives via the Pledge of Allegiance (the origin of the Nazi salute and Nazi behavior). He is one of those people who go on about only two words ("under God") in the pledge and don't have any problem with the rest of the ritual. Deacon Duncan's opinion is not welcome by so many people and that is why what he wants (robotic chanting on command) has to be coerced by law in government schools (socialist schools).
The problem is that by dropping only two words ("under God") in the pledge Duncan, you are not taking a stand because no one will notice, because you are too scared to sit out the pledge of allegiance and make sure that they notice. It is funny how the people who want to drop the two words think it is a big deal (and the reality is no one notices that they are doing anything). Sitting out the pledge is the only way you are taking a stand for freedom of speech. When you stand and go through almost the entire ritual, you’re just playing into the pledger's scheme. You are too afraid of being an outsider, afraid to do what is right, and you openly declare that you perceive them as the role of mainstream citizens and that scares you out of doing the right thing. Thus, you’re perpetuating the marginalization of everyone, including unbelievers. By reciting an outwardly polytheistic pledge you make it even less likely anyone will notice you, because you really do want to hide and you want to tell yourself you are being brave when you are not. Your passive self-marginalization isn’t going to be effective as directly and openly subverting the ritual by defying it. Stop being afraid to do the right thing. Stop evading the fact that you actually enjoy the robotic chanting, submitting to the daily command, making small children endure the brainwashing for 12 years. Go ahead and address that issue: that you are an authoritarian socialist similar to the person who wrote the pledge of allegiance. You want the pledging and you want to manipulate children and people with the Pledge of Allegiance.
You are playing with people’s lives and you do not know what you will do. How people can complain about only two words in the sick pledge is the real mystery. While it’s here, though, why not exploit it to teach people about the First Amendment by encouraging them to refuse to stand up or say a single word? Far too many Americans think the First Amendment is supposed to give other people the “freedom” to impose their robotic chanting on everyone else. There’s a huge amount of inertia against ending the pledge, and that’s because most people see nothing wrong with it in general (e.g. you). Encourage people to sit it out, however, and a lot more people will become aware of the entire problem. That’s very much worth doing, because it presents an opportunity to explain the advantages of true liberty as well as whatever other tiny parts of it offend different people.

No one should stand for the Pledge of Allegiance – it was the origin of the Nazi salute and Nazi behavior (see the work of the historian Dr. Rex Curry). When stories such as the one above come out, the old news media will never mention the Pledge’s putrid past, nor print a photo or video of the early American stiff-armed salute. If they did, then no one would stand for the pledge. The pledge continues to be the source of Nazi behavior wherein government schools (socialist schools) begin each day by teaching bullying and peer pressure and punish dissenters. The pledge is a daily repetition of the Milgram experiment and a demonstration of the banality of evil. It is sad to see that the news today has two stories: an adult selectwoman politician in Falmouth, MA who cowardly caved in to bullying regarding the pledge, and a 13-year-old student in a government school in Brownsville, PA who is not a coward and who defied the pledge despite ongoing persecution from cowardly adults. Francis Bellamy is sometimes referred to as America’s Leni Riefenstahl because of his earlier influence on spreading socialism (and the stiff-armed gesture) through government schools et cetera. Of course, Bellamy was very religious, a “Christian socialist” and his original pledge was a small part of a his much larger pledge program replete with hymns, prayers, references to the Bible and God, including the phrase “under God.” That is why the original pledge program cannot be performed in government schools, only the pledge’s tiny part (to which the deifiication was also added in 1954).
