How did he know?

Red Skelton made this in 1969. Here he is talking about when he was in grade school which was probably in the 1920's or 1930's. How would he know that in the future men would want to take out any words that mention GOD? The monotony of the pledge is not what makes the people forget its meaning. It's the way politics have so destroyed the principles the pledge has told us to uphold. Few say it with passion anymore because few believe that's what the flag -actually- stands for. If we could just go back and never fall from the grace of god ,we would all be better people and stronger as a community... Sisters and brothers as "ONE". This is an inspiring speech. One that I believe we all can certainly use as inspiration. I really have to wonder, if my generation and all since, had felt the same way as this man about our country...would it be in the shape it's in right now?? I very seriously doubt it. Oh and Roger from Idaho Daily Photo has awarded me was this... Thank you so very much Roger and may I add that YOU ROCK TOO!!! So who do I pass this on to??? Ummm.... let me see... I'll pass this on to Julie from Julie's Jewels and Junque Mo from It's a Blog Eat Blog World Turnbaby from And As The World Turns Kyra from The 108 Lynda from Are We There Yet Desert Songbird from The Ice Box Because Y'ALL ROCK TOO!!!!!!!! SMOOCHES!
