With liberty

From Red Skelton:

''With liberty''

'which is freedom -- the right of power to live one's own life without threats, fear or some sort of retaliation. '

Ditto! I would add, 'intervention'

''And to the republic''

'a state in which sovereign power is invested in representatives chosen by the people to govern. And government is the people and it's from the people to the leaders, not from the leaders to the people. '

This Pledge of Allegiance is only acceptable if taken with these two qualifications!
