American History Revised.

Sarah Palin needs a history lesson. Here is her answer to a questionnaire during her run for Governor of Alaska.

Are you offended by the phrase “Under God” in the Pledge of Allegiance? Why or why not?

SP: Not on your life. If it was good enough for the founding fathers, its good enough for me and I’ll fight in defense of our Pledge of Allegiance.

As many American high schools students know,

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).

Bellamy's original "Pledge of Allegiance" was published in the September 8th issue of the popular children's magazine The Youth's Companion as part of the National Public-School Celebration of Columbus Day, a celebration of the 400th anniversary of Christopher Columbus's discovery of America, conceived by James B. Upham.

Bellamy's original Pledge read, "I pledge allegiance to my Flag and the Republic for which it stands, one nation, indivisible, with liberty and justice for all."

Not to mention that the words "under God" were added in 1954.  Founding fathers indeed.  I guess in Sarah Palin's word Dwight Eisenhower was one of our founding fathers.

But, I bet she NEVER fails to place her hand over her heart during the singing of the National Anthem or wear her flag pin, and we all know that is all that matters.
