When I was in elementary school in the 1950s, we all said the same thing, except for the fact there was no "under God" in it back then. That was added later by largely 'Anglo-Saxon descendants so that their white God would be included in the pledge. I'm a white descendent of the May Flower on my father's side, and on my mother's side, I'm from Liverpool, England, and Hamburg, Germany. I think my ancestors who came America, or at least most of them, would disagree with this America First Caucus.
Also, on October 30, 1968, my Boeing 707 landed at Stapleton Field in Denver, Colorado, which enabled me to join fellow volunteers from all over America to train to become Volunteers in Service to America (VISTA). We looked like descendants from many parts of the world. About a week later, we watched the Presidential Election on TV. That's the night Richard Nixon defeated Hubert Humphrey. We all had wet eyes that night, for we knew how Nixon stood on the Office of Economic Opportunity, the big Kennedy/Johnson program to make America better for poor and disadvantaged people. Over the years, Nixon and his followers have managed to destroy nearly all of what we and America stood for back then.
