the american 'pledge of alegiance'.

Francis Bellamy (1855 - 1931), a Baptist minister, wrote the original Pledge in August 1892. He was a Christian Socialist. In his Pledge, he is expressing the ideas of his first cousin, Edward Bellamy, author of the American socialist utopian novels Looking Backward (1888) and Equality (1897). his version of the pledge was:'I pledge allegiance to my Flag,
and to the Republic for which it stands:
one Nation indivisible,
With Liberty and Justice for all.'the pledge changed during history and nowadays it primary expresses patriotic values. therefore this soundbite is ironically used in this song about american psycho protagonist patrick bateman, who represents the emptiness of american culture.
