One nation under God. The “bold conservative” GOP Congressman Paul Broun from Georgia is intent upon removing a vexing comma from that phrase in the Pledge of Allegiance, which was amended in 1954 when President Eisenhower was moved by a sermon by one Reverend George M. Docherty on the need to defend America from the “militantly atheistic communism that has already enslaved 800 million of the peoples of the earth, and now menaces the rest of the free world.”

Atheistic Overlord: Minion! Begin the invasion of the American Heartland! We will, once and for all, bring an end to their wholesome, democratic ways and make the world safe for atheists! Ready the death ray!
Atheistic Minion: My lord! We are unable to bring the lasers to bear on their targets! Something is interfering!
Atheistic Overlord: What is the cause of this? What could possibly thwart my plans?
Atheistic Minion: It’s the Americans, sire. They seam to be… pledging allegiance! To one nation! UNDER GOD!
Atheistic Overlord: Curses! Foiled again!
