A fan in Germany at http://www.butterbach.net writes in to say "Thanks!" for the articles at http://rexcurry.net/pledge1.html showing that the U.S. pledge of allegiance to the flag and the socialist straight-arm salute was created in the U.S. in 1892 by a socialist in the "nationalism" movement long before it was used in Germany by the monstrous National Socialist German Workers Party.  He says that it shows that Germans are not alone in having crazy socialists who use government schools (socialized schools) to impose bizarre pledges, salutes and socialism.  Here is a direct quote: "New content on my Op-Ed page about the Pledge of Allegiance case presently before the U.S. Supreme Court. A short article by Attorney Rex Curry with incredible links in it, revealing little known big things. It shows that aping the worst of America instead of the best is not new under the German sun. Don't miss those pictures!"   http://rexcurry.net/pledge2.html

And more "With a special dedication by me to all those many non-Americans who have always considered it a bit exaggerated, not to say more, to see behind each desk, as an unimaginative background for those persons mainly who like to be photographed and interviewed without saying much, that omnipresent vertical pole with that flag hanging down. There never seems to be any wind around, not the meteorological one, not the one of truth... ;-) "    - Christian Butterbach

In response to stupid comments by statists complaining about the National Anthem in languages other than English, a fan wrote to say that the Pledge of Allegiance should only be chanted in German.  The pledge was the origin of the salute of the National Socialist German Workers' Party (Nazis) as discovered by Dr. Rex Curry.  http://rexcurry.net/pledge-lawyer.html

This is the Pledge of Allegiance in German.  It is the Treueschwur der USA in German. Some people in government probably also want to restore the earlier salute.

Der Wortlaut:  "Ich schwöre Treue auf die Fahne der Vereinigten Staaten von Amerika und die Republik, für die sie steht, eine Nation unter Gott, unteilbar, mit Freiheit und Gerechtigkeit für jeden"
