Ummm, in my lifetime (4th grade?) It was added because of McCarthyism & "godless communism" . I distincly remember the unease of the adults about it!

I like "The Pledge of Put That God Damned Confederate Flag Away" very much, even if it does mention god now.

They will never stop until they have their theocracy.

And the the real trouble will begin.

Eisenhower decided to add the phrase because of fears of the Godless Communists - hence, the 1950's....

There has to be a point, and trust me, I don't know where exactly it is, when people begin to awaken. A time where those who truly care about the future finally begin rub their eyes and open their ears, and suddenly become aware of the madness that occupies a disproportionate amount of today's headlines. For the past several years I've lowered the bar, but I'm beyond believing that a 'new low' is impossible!

I know I'm old, but I'm not THAT old. I remember adding that phrase when I was in elementary school because it require memorizing it. That puts the change in the 1950's

He is a wrong as he can be and only trying to fool other dimwitted people. The "In god we trust" was not put on coins until the mid 19th century and on bill until the mid 50's (I know because I have a clean dollar bill from 1926).

The Republicans have been rewriting history for some time. It is now on steroids as trump is changing the white house records as is Russia. When there is something happening and one has the ability to record it one should as the records change. Trump has just said that the russians will be helping the Democrats. Why would putin do that, his bitch is trump. So since trump lies I would take his statement to mean that Russia will be helping the Republicans. This is why nothing is being done. If trump really thought Russia was going to be helping the Democrats he would do something about it. Are we f--ked?

More of the down fall of the US educational system.

Ignorance is a choice

The rampant ignorance in this country astounds me.
