If You Don't Like What Actually Happened,

make something up:

Concerned Women for America, from Lanier Swann, CWA's Director of Government Relations:

Our country's founding fathers were men of faith who intentionally included the phrase 'under God' in an oath that serves as a symbol of loyalty and patriotism to our great country.

As pointed out by Andrew Sullivan, there's a small reality gap here:

The pledge was invented by a socialist in 1892; and the phrase "under God" was added as recently as 1954.

Although I don't normally publish links to hate sites, I feel in this case an exception is justified. By all means, e-mail CWA and demand a retraction.

I did.

And feel free to pass this around to your friends -- even your enemies.
