While the Supreme Court is at it
By Tom Smith

We may have to get rid of our national anthem (adopted in 1931) as well as the Pledge. What, you don't know the fourth verse?

Oh! thus be it ever, when freemen shall stand
Between their loved homes and the war's desolation,
Blest with vict'ry and peace, may the Heav'n - rescued land
Praise the Pow'r that hath made and preserved us a nation.

Then conquer we must, for our cause is just,
And this be our motto--"In God is our trust."
And the star-spangled banner in triumph doth wave
O'er the land of the free and the home of the brave.


Hat tip to anti-idolitarian rottweiler for the reminder.
