In our club, we say the American pledge of allegiance at the start of
meetings. I thought it was peculiar that the old guy next to me left out
the words "under God" which threw me off beat. I asked him about it and
he said that's the way he learned it and he gets mixed up sometimes. It
seems that those words were added to the pledge in 1954, when the
Americans were gripped with fear of the commies. It was added because a
commie can't say those words without stopping to spit. It was a way to
ferret out the true commies in our midst.

Yup, I was in the third grade during the lyrics change, and it took a
few renditions before everybody got in sync.
Unfortunately, the commies adapted and call themselves "progressive"
now. Ain't words great!

Could you provide your definition of "communism"?
