Founded in 1942?

September 14, 2008

Sarah Palin, answering a 2006 policy questionnaire for the Alaska 2006 gubernatorial race:

Q: Are you offended by the phrase “Under God” in the Pledge of Allegiance? Why or why not?

A: Not on your life. If it was good enough for the founding fathers, its good enough for me and I’ll fight in defense of our Pledge of Allegiance.

Good enough for the founding fathers? The Pledge of the Allegiance became the official pledge of the United States until 1942. The words “Under God” were not in the Pledge. They would not appear there until 1954.
