"Under God" makes entire sense when you remember that, if Americans have ONE shared cultural trait, it's being morally flexible as long as you get rich. Trying to get rich is the only command they'll follow, the one thing they'll all agree upon. And they surely trust in their God printed on green paper, lol.

    Your post is double funny because "under god" was only added in the 1950s during the red scare, and at the same time "in god we trust" was added to the money.

    Look at all these slavemasters posing on your dollars
