BLOOD SACRIFICE AND THE NATION
Endnote 4.

Consider the modified Pledge of Allegiance recited by Christian conservatives at the National Affairs Briefing, held in Memphis January 19-20, 1996, to rally the troops for the 1996 presidential election: "I pledge allegiance to the Christian flag and to the Saviour for whose Kingdom its stands." Quoted in Gustav Niebuhr, "God's Will and Political Will Top a Conservative Agenda," New York Times, Jan. 22, 1996: p. A12.
