      Once prayer and the Bible were taken out of the School system, the very fabric of our Great Nation was torn by those who have wanted to destroy her from within. It is time to drain the swamp of the Evil Morons who are still determined to carry out that task, but we, the American people have a voice in the placement in Office of the ones who will make America Great Again. Vote wisely, because our Children and our Children's Children will have to deal with the choises we make. Take care.. Stay safe.. and God bless America.

    I am an Iranian immigrant to the United State. In 1977 at the age of eleven we moved to America for one year. The first time I heard the pledge of allegiance it was in 6th grade at our school in Peterborough New Hampshire. And boy did I fall in love, not with one of the girls at school but with the pledge of allegiance and this great country! In 1979 we immigrated on a permanent basis to America and in 1996 I was honored to become a naturalized US citizen! And yes my whole family has since become Christians. God continue to bless America!

      I wish you people would stop being such beading heart pansies.
      How is it that you do not understand that people that divide against you on the basis of party affiliation are not your friends?
      How is it that you do not understand that just because someone claims to be a member of your party, they are not someone you want to be partnered with?
      Being united is more than just titles, claims and professions of faith, being united requires treating each other with loving kindness and both respecting and supporting each other's visions and dreams.
      Are you able to support the visions and dreams of an individual whose visions and dreams are to destroy your visions and dreams?
      To do so is self destructive.
      To do so is suicidal.
      To do so is insane.
      Find those that hold to your dreams, visions and values when it comes to national identity, and join them. Don't bother begging liars and murderers to join you as doing so is inviting them to destroy you and that is exactly what they will do.

      @brucerowe - I assume you mean prayer. Please advise me how this is a prayer? And how it would harm anyone. Also there’s no rule that says prayer or praying should not be allowed in public schools or places. What is prohibited is requiring a specific church or religion should be forced on the public. All of the founding fathers as far as history shows us believed in a Providence (aka Creator or God); most of them read the Bible regularly. They also prayed before making decisions.

Got to know Red briefly when we both went to Lawrence Welk's in Escondido for Thanksgiving Dinner. Indeed, Red loved this country and He loved the Lord. Red's sign off for his Tuesday night broadcasts was always "Good night and God bless." When thinking of a sign off for my Bethany Bible Church Channel, I use a similar sign off in his honor. Red loved the Lord, and his earthly remains at Forest Lawn Glendale I visit when I am there.

    So glad I lived in a time when we looked forward to good laughter and real character as we turned on the television. So blessed. We knew what it meant to be proud of our country, our families, our friendships. Thank you to all who have served t keep it great.

    Of all the things that pop up on TV now this NEEDS to be one, and one that is replayed, to remind EVERYONE that we must remain UNITED in order to achieve true justice and equality as the AMERICAN PEOPLE.

      The Pledge of allegiance is NOT to GOD. It's to a flag & a country.
      Jesus said, " I stand behind no kingdom, municipality, or power. If you pledge allegiance to any kingdom, municipality, or power; you cannot pledge your allegiance to me".
      So America is evil anyway. If you think we need prayer in our schools; which religion do you choose? What religion is practiced would be based on who's on the school board or in the State House.
      So, this is why we separate church & state.
      Otherwise, we'd be Israel, Saudi Arabia, or Iran. Those are religious Theocracies.

      @@deehoupt5276 You really don't know what you are saying, The pledge of allegiance is to the standard of a country that believes IN GOD. Our constitution gives us the right to have freedom of religion. The real separation of church and state is that we have the right to believe in whatever God we choose and the government can't disallow that right.

    Red said it all. Please God that men like this, men of wisdom, always help this nation toward the future. They are thin now, but I hope that there will be a least one in each generation.

    I go back to this video every so often just to remind myself we were once a great nation with great patriots like Red. My heart breaks when I see where we are and where we are headed. God bless the memory of Red Skelton.
