Our nation is certainly not what it used to be. When the phrase “under God” was added to our Pledge of Allegiance, President Eisenhower commented about those two words, “They will help us to keep constantly in our minds and hearts the spiritual and moral principles which alone give dignity to man.” Thirty years later, President Reagan advised, “If we ever forget that we’re…
