VETERANS FOR CONGRESS

I pledge allegiance I Promise to be faithful and true (Promise my

loyalty)
To the flag to the emblem that stands for and represents

Of the United States all 50 states, each of them individual, and

individually represented on the flag
Of America yet formed into a UNION of one Nation.

And to the Republic And I also pledge my loyalty to the Government

that is itself a Republic, a form of government
where the PEOPLE are sovereign,
For which it stands, this government also being represented by the Flag
to which I promise loyalty.
One nation under God, These 50 individual states are united as a single
Republic under the Divine providence of God, "our
most powerful resource" (according to the words of
President Eisenhower)
Indivisible, and can not be separated. (This part of the
original version of the pledge was written just 50
years after the beginning of the Civil War and
demonstrates the unity sought in the years after
that divisive period in our history)
With Liberty The people of this Nation being afforded the
freedom to pursue "life, liberty, and happiness",
And Justice And each person entitled to be treated justly, fairly,
and according to proper law and principle,
For all. And these principles afforded to EVERY
AMERICAN, regardless of race, religion, color,
creed, or any other criteria. Just as the flag
represents 50 individual states that can not be
divided or separated, this Nation represents
millions of people who can not be separated or
divided.
TRANSLATION OF LIBERTY
Liberty translates into

1. Liberal
2. Libertarian
3. Liberalism

The Statue of Liberty is a symbol that reflects America as the Land of Liberty. For us to
serve as one nation under God indivisible, we must each share the view of liberalism.

SYNONYM OF LIBERTY
Freedom is a synonym of liberty.

ANTONYM OF LIBERTY
Slavery is an antonym of liberty.

UNION ARMY
The early Republican Party of the Northern States espoused liberalism. The American Flag
was flown to symbolize our United States Constitution (USC). Libertarians had united as one
nation for the cause to abolish slavery. General Ulysses S. Grant has organized our Union
Army to liberate slaves of our Southern States.

CONFEDERATE ARMY
The early Democratic Party of the Southern States espoused conservatism. The Confederate
Flag was flown to symbolize the Articles of Confederation (AOC). Conservatives had united
as one nation for the cause to preserve slavery. General Robert E. Lee has organized the
Rebel Army to secede from our Union.

AMERICAN CIVIL WAR

The American Civil War has served as a contest to decide whether America will be lead by
the Libertarian philosophical viewpoint of our Northern States or the Conservative
philosophical viewpoint of our Southern States. The North has defeated the South.
 GETTYSBURY ADDRESS
Republican President Abraham Lincoln has delivered his State of the Union Address at
Gettysburg. His message has affirmed that America is a new nation conceived in Liberty and
dedicated to the proposition that all men are created equal. The brave men who have lived
and/or died on the battlefield have consecrated America as hallow grounds. Government of
the people, for the people and by the people shall not perish.

Four score and seven years ago our fathers brought forth on this continent, a new
nation, conceived in Liberty, and dedicated to the proposition that all men are
created equal.

Now we are engaged in a great civil war, testing whether that nation, or any nation
so conceived and so dedicated, can long endure. We are met on a great battle-field of
that war. We have come to dedicate a portion of that field, as a final resting place for
those who here gave their lives that that nation might live. It is altogether fitting and
proper that we should do this.

But, in a larger sense, we can not dedicate -- we can not consecrate -- we can not
hallow -- this ground. The brave men, living and dead, who struggled here, have
consecrated it, far above our poor power to add or detract. The world will little note,
nor long remember what we say here, but it can never forget what they did here. It is
for us the living, rather, to be dedicated here to the unfinished work which they who
fought here have thus far so nobly advanced. It is rather for us to be here dedicated
to the great task remaining before us -- that from these honored dead we take
increased devotion to that cause for which they gave the last full measure of devotion
-- that we here highly resolve that these dead shall not have died in vain -- that this
nation, under God, shall have a new birth of freedom -- and that government of the
people, by the people, for the people, shall not perish from the earth.

MUSEUM OF AMERICAN HISTORY

Conservatism belongs in a museum of American history. Its philosophical view has been
defeated and buried on the battlefield at Gettysburg. Loyalists of the Confederate Flag have
resurrected the rebirth of conservatism in America. Traitors to our Pledge of Allegiance have
inflamed hatred and division among our Union. Conservatives are guilty of high treason.
