1. Looks like "indivisible..."
In fact, I'd say it's not in danger, it's GONE! We are truly divided, and I hope that it's not permanent...

I'd much rather lose the damn "under god" and go back to the "indivisible"

3. I voted under God because....
if we were a nation "under God" we wouldn't be where we are today, in an unjust bloody war and sacrificing liberty and justice for all.

5. "...with liberty and justice for all..." LOL!
The pledge is a whopper when compared to our history, and this phrase is the most ludicrous. Never has been true...ask an American Indian!

6. Pretty much all of it
One nation? Really?

Under God? Whose? Obviously not mine.

With liberty? What have they been smoking?

And justice for all? Do we even know what justice means anymore? Apparently justice = revenge. Unless you happen to accidentally be black or queer or a woman. In which case, justice ain't even in the dictionary.

Khash, feeling bitter.
