Libertarians Shine With Next Pledge Court Case
by Rex Curry
24 June 2004
The Pledge of Allegiance court case is a blessing in disguise, by providing
a temporary delay. It allows the fight to widen against the entire Pledge,
not just two words. As a libertarian and a lawyer, too, I am spearheading
the next court case as a pro bono service to the public to liberate
Americans from government pushing the totalitarian Pledge.

"Pledge II" will be a blockbuster sequel. The first case led to scary
discoveries about the Pledge's pedigree. A libertarian made the historic
news-breaking discovery that exposed the Pledge as the origin of the salute
of the National Socialist German Workers' Party (Nazis). It is a myth that
the Pledge's original straight-arm salute is an ancient Roman salute.

The Pledge was written in 1892 by Francis Bellamy, a self-proclaimed
National Socialist in the U.S., who wanted a government takeover of
education to produce an "industrial army" for the authoritarian vision
portrayed in his cousin Edward Bellamy's book "Looking Backward." The
Bellamy cousins promoted national socialism worldwide for decades. Their
plans resulted in racist and segregated government schools that lasted into
the 1960's.
The pledge is a great issue for Libertarians. Libertarians can change the
entire "pledge issue" from a silly debate about two words, to a liberating
debate about government, socialism, totalitarianism and government schools.

People ask if the Pledge of Allegiance promotes socialism. Yes it does, not
only paying homage to a man who wanted the Pledge used to promote government
schools and socialism, who wanted government schools operated as a socialist
monopoly, and to end all of the better alternatives, and who wanted
government schools used to create an "industrial army" (his term) modeled
after the military, for a totalitarian economy and society.
Libertarians know that the Bellamy cousins succeeded in many ways, in that
most schools are government schools, where the socialist pledge is still
robotically chanted, and where children and their parents have learned to
accept the government school monopoly, social security, socialist slave
numbers, etc., etc.,
The pledge is usually recited because it is required by state laws for
government schools, and done collectively as a robotic chant daily on cue
from the government.
The pledge's history is suppressed because it is so un-libertarian. As
strange as it may seem, the ideas that inspired the pledge's author also
resulted in mass atrocities worldwide.

It is hard to imagine a better issue begging for the correct arguments to
be made. Please help make the Pledge of Allegiance debate into a meaningful
debate about liberty.
On July 4th, declare your independence from the Pledge of Allegiance. If
schoolchildren should recite anything, then they should recite the
Declaration of Independence, not the Pledge of Allegiance. They are
mutually exclusive and contradictory.
Support individualism, not socialism. If the government's
antidisestablishmentarianism does not end, we will be living in an even
bigger socialist police state. Pledge your independence, and don't declare
your allegiance.
A search of Google news at http://news.google.com shows that a libertarian
journalist is the only source listed for exposing the monstrous "National
Socialist German Workers' Party," and that a search for that quoted phrase
leads to articles exposing the history of the Pledge of Allegiance, all
authored by Rex Curry. It is amazing how intellectually dishonest the
media are, in that there is no instance in Google news of any use of the
actual name of the horrid Party, other then by a libertarian exposing the
suppressed history of the Pledge.
yours in liberty,
