Yeah, so our Constitution does not contain those words. Our pledge of allegiance does, however, so it doesn't take too much imagination to suppose how even a very bright, otherwise well-spoken person could make the mistake under pressure. Any of us could.

Godfry, why do you hate our country so much? You seem to miss few opportunities to bash it.

Umm.... I actually love this country. I have severe difficulties with those who would make themselves authorities in this country, particularly the current administration, which is clueless and illicit, in my opinion.
That this administration can lie about our involvement in Iraq, send our citizens on extended stays in a war zone where they are placed in harm's way...on a pretense...despite several credible sources telling us that we shouldn't undertake it (including the current president's father, the former president), and then claim we've got it under control...
I love my country and want it to stop making egregious diplomatic and military mistakes. I love the US Constitution and would like to see it actually observed, even by the Supreme Court, which currrently has four members who should, in my opinion, be impeached and stand trial for crimes against the state. Same with Bush and Cheney.
What I want to know, Cool Hand, is why you hate your fellow Americans that you want them to be killed in a senseless and illicit conflict? Do you have an appointment in the Bush administration, or are you just a compulsive brown-noser?
And, yes, I have been interviewed in front of television cameras. I didn't say anything even half as stupid as the Undersecretary of State.
Also, if she doesn't know that the "Under God" portion was added during the witchhunt period of the 1950s, and should have been promptly discarded by the Supreme Court as an "official support of government for specific religious belief" in violation of the tenets of the separation of church and state, then she is indeed a moron and needs to resign immediately.
