The Newdow Case on the Pledge of Allegiance
~
By Rex Curry
As a Libertarian, and an attorney too, I am fascinated by the Pledge of
Allegiance case presently before the U.S. Supreme Court (oral arguments
scheduled for March 24th). As a pro bono service to help the media and the
public prepare for the eventual decision of the highest Court, I have
collected astounding historic photos and information about the pledge (at
http://members.ij.net/rex/pledge1.html). In the process of researching the
Newdow case, I have become the only site on the internet that collects and
displays historic photos of the original Pledge of Allegiance (at
http://members.ij.net/rex/pledge2.html). The pledge's history is suppressed
because it is so un-libertarian. The original Pledge of Allegiance was
written by a self-proclaimed socialist in U.S. "Nationalist" clubs and the
original salute to the flag resembled and predated the salute of the
National Socialist German Workers' Party. As strange as it may seem, the
ideas that inspired the pledge's author also resulted in mass atrocities
worldwide (see http://members.ij.net/rex/pledgebackward.html). Please
inform the public about the history of the salute and pledge, to prepare
them for the oral arguments scheduled for March 24th and for the coming
decision from the U.S. Supreme Court.
