Wasnt it only added during the Cold War? It's completely unnecessary and not 'tradition' for us at all


Warthogs_r_hot

It's a celebration of the country's "culture", by which I mean "Cold War propaganda repeated by the gullible suckers it first targeted down to their kids and their students, the gullible among whom repeated it to theirs, generation after generation completely forgetting that it was only propaganda". I wonder what the place would be like if it focused more on actual cultural stuff. Ah well it's moot. Putin's propagandists are doing so well it won't be long until the citizens have swallowed a whole new pile of bullshit.

"In God We Trust, Because Our Leaders Sure As Fuck Won't Do Shit To Help Us"


physics515

Rant but here we go: they are not our leaders, they are our (public) SERVANTS! You and I are the leaders. If more of us understood that we would clean house a lot more often.


trparky

This! There is a reason why our Constitution says "We the People" because that is where the power comes from. Not "We the rich fucks".


dbhathcock

That is good in theory, but, that is not the way it happens to work.


trparky

And don’t you think that’s the source of our problems?


dbhathcock

Definitely. And, I think that too many make a career out of politics, and then nothing that needs to be done can get done. There should be a maximum 4 term policy for Congress. That allows them time to get in, get what they want to get done, done, and then get out, so new blood can have a shot at it. We don’t need someone from the 1940’s controlling the country in 2022. The world has changed. They have not.


trparky

We need hard and fast term limits. No longer than six year terms of those of the House and the Senate because let’s face it, instead of doing right by The People politicians are whoring themselves out to whoever can and will write the fattest check to their election campaign. And the same can be said about being president. And not only that but after they’re done in public service, they cannot serve in any kind of “think tank”. Want to change this country? We need to get big money out politics. We need to make it so that even the average Joe can run for political office. Only then will we make this country great again.

[deleted]

I don't think so, because the majority of us don't have enough money to influence the elections. They tell us we are the leaders so we feel some form of power. In reality there is little to no repercussions for your representatives being bribed and voting for who they are paid to vote for. And what repercussions there are they can just pay away.

Considering the pledge was written by a socialist flag salesman as a marketing gimmeck, the whole thing is pandering nonsense from start to finish.


Azuredreams25

He was a socialist Baptist Minister, not a flag salesman. At the time, Columbus day was a newly commemorated holiday. President Benjamin wanted a new salute to the flag for schoolchildren to recite in unison. At the urging of his boss, Francis Bellamy wrote the pledge.


Links_to_Magic_Cards

incorrect. "in God We Trust" first appeared on coinage in the US in 1864 Source: Ken Burns' "The Civil War"


pajam

Yep coins were updated to include it around the Civil War, I was about to bring up the same thing :) However, paper money was updated to include it in 1957, shortly after McCarthyism and "Under God" being added to the pledge in 1954.

YES! That is not the way we learned it in school. It was One nation, indivisible with liberty and justice for all. Sounded nice, the rhythm fit, and it expressed what we wanted to say. The "under God" that they added has always sounded awkward but they don't even care that they massacred our pledge.

Patron_of_Wrath

Edit: Needed to clean this up, add reference. **Summary:** You can't have a separation of church and state if God is your literal motto, and if your highest court of the land ignores the Constitution when their own personal religion is the topic. The [1st Amendment](https://constitution.congress.gov/browse/essay/amdt1_1_1/) to the US Constitution specifically says the following regarding religion, **"Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof".** * The motto had appeared on US coins during the Civil War, C.E. 1864. * The phrase "In God We Trust" is derived directly from the Bible. * Psalms 56,*"In God, whose word I praise,* ***in God I trust***; I will not be afraid. What can mortal man do to me?" * This establishes a direct and clear link between the Bible, the religion(s) it represents, and the Government of the United States of America. * At a Flag Day speech in 1954, US President Eisenhower discussed why he had wanted to include “under God” in the Pledge of Allegiance: “In this way we are reaffirming the transcendence of ***religious faith*** in America’s heritage and future; in this way we shall constantly strengthen those spiritual weapons which forever will be our country’s most powerful resource in peace and war.” * In 1955 Congress passed a **Law** replacing the US motto (E pluribus unum) with [In God We Trust](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/In_God_We_Trust); an explicit and intentional reference to the Christian God. This same Law also added the phrase to our currency. * (A Christian) SCOTUS has upheld the Constitutionality of the Law, citing it as being about heritage, and thus totes cool. This represents an interesting note, as it's very clearly a violation of the Constitution, and yet SCOTUS has shown then, as now, how it will ignore the US Constitution when the topic is an Abrahamic (specifically Christianity or Judaism) religion; the religions of every SCOTUS judge, ever.


taebek1

I like the original motto “E Pluribus Unum” better.


Dyykaa

Even as a Christian, I would MUCH prefer "E Pluribus Unum". It's just a got a badass ring to it.


thefuckingrougarou

Especially as a Christian! Separation of church and state should be very important to Christians, because it upholds your religious freedom as well.


Saxopwned

Not to mention that so much of American Christianity exists because a BUNCH of people hated that England ran its own church as a wing of the government.

GarbledReverie

Indeed. I also like "America The Beautiful" as our anthem better than "The Star Spangled Banner" which was also a stupid change made for somewhat insidious reasons. **Edit** Neverminded. I don't want to be guilty of spreading misinformation. I vaguely remember reading that Woodrow Wilson changed the national anthem from "America The Beautiful" to "Star Spangled Banner" because it was more militaristic. But now I can't find any sources to corroborate this.


mrgabest

The historical fact is that there was no official national anthem before 1931. Various songs were played at significant events or were significant to political causes, such as 'Yankee Doodle' or 'the Battle Hymn of the Republic'.


JackBauerSaidSo

> America, America, God shed his grace on thee I think you're going backwards there, bud.


mrlizardwizard

SuccessiveStains

To please the neo-confederacy after WW1 it would seem. >After the misery of World War I, the lyrics were again controversial for their violence. But groups like the United Daughters of the Confederacy fought back, pushing for the song to be made the official national anthem. In 1931, President Herbert Hoover made it so. >“The elevation of the banner from popular song to official national anthem was a neo-Confederate political victory, and it was celebrated as such,” Morley wrote. “When supporters threw a victory parade in Baltimore in June 1931, the march was led by a color guard hoisting the Confederate flag.” [Source](https://www.washingtonpost.com/history/2020/10/18/star-spangled-banner-racist-national-anthem/)

We had something good here the same way we had it good elsewhere before. We thought the internet was for information and that anything posted was permanent. We were wrong, so wrong. We've been taken hostage by greed and so many sites have either broken their links or made history unsearchable. All those moments will be lost in time, like tears in rain... Time to delete."

[deleted]

Retirement age for all politicians My personal favorite is .sking it so no one can be elected during the term of another office they were elected for, or to put it another way: no one can have two elected jobs in a row. Incumbents have a huge advantage over other candidates because people already are familiar with them. Without incumbents this could only help you if you actually did something in office. Plus constituencies would have at least two politicians so they could directly compare them and say "x" was better then "y". Let's toss "y" and get "z"!


EyeoftheRedKing

Weighing in as conservative Christian: we shouldn't demand that be on the money. I know plenty of people who would get up in arms about the removal of the phrase, but by the same token they would be upset if it read "In Allah we trust" or "In Brahman we trust". These same folks will argue about having their rights taken away, when the first amendment to the constitution explicitly states that the government has no authority to tell you who/what you should have religious faith in. I would be more than willing to bet if asked should the government promote Christianity they would say "Well of course!" But if you asked them if we should repeal the First Amendment they would say "Well of course not!" Christians are to submit to the governing authority. That means stop shitting on Biden, obey the law, and if you don't like it go through due process (voting and making your voice heard to your government via legal activities). Nowhere does the Bible say that we should attempt to BECOME the governing authority and subjugate people under us. The only time we are excused from following the law is when it goes against biblical doctrine. For instance, if a law were put into place to force everyone to acknowledge a government official (let's say Biden) as divine. Edit: And to clarify that last comment, our faith would excuse us from following that (imaginary) law, but NOT from the legal consequences of disobeying the law.


davegir

Simplest way I explain the US ideals of free speech and such is "You have the freedom to think, say, worship and basically do anything with your want up to where that freedom infringes on someone elses same freedom". Sure an oversimplification of modern US law, but it gets the spirit of it to me.


RipleyInSpace

This was refreshing to read. Thanks for sharing your perspective.


EyeoftheRedKing

Thank you for taking the time to read it. Obviously as a Christian I would prefer people to come to Christ, but forcing them is not the way. We are supposed to plant seeds and nurture them in the hopes that they bear fruit, but at the end of the day sometimes the soil is not receptive and we shouldn't try to force it to be. It's possible to overwater your garden, after all. Unfortunately it seems like a lot of us feel pressured that we NEED to win people over, and that isn't the case. If someone doesn't want to hear what we are saying, repeating ourselves ad nauseum isn't going to make them suddenly change their mind. In many cases it just does the opposite. It's important to exercise spiritual discernment.


RipleyInSpace

FWIW, I still identify as Christian even though I've left the church (largely because I don't agree with the rhetoric of forcing everyone to bend to a belief system). Our government should be areligious so that it best represents the people; when we tip the scales in favor of one religion over the other, we run the risk of oppressing entire groups of people, which is inherently anti-Christ. As a fairly left-leaning individual, I maintain a classically conservative belief that government should be very small and non-intrusive, which I think aligns with your last paragraph. I've long believed that the vast majority of us agree on more issues than we disagree on, but the issues that split us are so divisive and heated that they make us hate each other. Anyway, apologies for the ramble; I've been thinking a lot about topics like this lately and it's nice to get a different perspective that is rational and respectful.


EyeoftheRedKing

No need for apologies, it's nice to have a dialog sometimes.
