No one should chant the Pledge of Allegiance because it was the origin of the stiff-armed salute of the National Socialist German Workers Party and of that type of behavior (see the work of the noted historian Dr. Rex Curry). It continues to be the source of that vicious behavior even though the Bellamy salute was changed to hide the pledge's sick past. Support for the Pledge of Allegiance is flagging. No newspaper will print a historic photo or video of the early American straight-arm salute nor mention its history and impact worldwide. http://rexcurry.net
