Once upon a time there was a Democratic Republic, filled with freedom loving, self sufficient people, called America. Most of the citizens that founded and established this happy and free place were Europeans that longed to shed the tyrant king's freedom choking edicts and statutes.
Unknown to most of the felicitious settlers, that braved the elements and hostile conditions, was that the evil king had sent some of his evil henchmen along to undermine and subvert the good intentions of those freedom seekers by any means possible.
Over time, the king supplanted the good people with his wicked servants and secretly changed the free society into a socialist state under tyrannical rulers. Slowly, over the course of time the people were led to become arrogant and decadent so that they couldn't distinguish between good and evil. The people seemed to be incapable of any type of sacrifice for the purpose of remaining free, instead choosing an unspoken form of slavery and acceptance of a new and evil immorality, which included murdering their own posterity. That's right kiddies, we as a society began to murder our own children, and attacking other nations to kill their children as well.
It was as if some form of black magic had been worked against the good people by the evil king. The kings evil magicians may have cast a "spell" on the people through the one eyed cyclops we know today as TELL A VISION. Whatever the case, the people became more and more accustomed to evil, but worse they began to forget about good things and the blessings which they had as a moral people.
So while the good people were under the king's "spell" they trusted the evil men the king had placed among them in their government. The evil men changed the laws to permit the children to be killed, they allowed the dispensing of mind altering drugs to the parents, and they promoted the continual warfare state so much so that EVERY generation of Americans were required to go abroad and kill.
The formerly self-sufficient Americans became addicted to govt. hand-outs until they began to forget how to provide for themselves and to believe in the government like it were their god. The evil men made them believe it, and made them forfeit the work of their labor to the god of war. The people seemed to agree, and tithed to the monster, allowing the evil government more power, financing and volunteering to kill, maim and destroy other good people all around the world.
Once the free people had been totally enslaved by the trickery, hypnotism and drugs of the evil king, they were trained to PLEDGE ALLEGIANCE TO THE FLAG of the king. This pledge was an ancient ritual performed by the first evil king against the (serfs) people before they moved to America, but the people had forgotten.
Then a mighty storm occurred. The evil king had formed an army of evil-doers within the nation for the purpose of imposing the kings evil confiscation and incarceration policies on the people. The evil-doers attacked a church full of families in Texas and killed everyone there while the cyclops/TELL A VISION showed the world what would happen to anyone not in agreement with the king. Soon the people were observed continually and issued slave numbers so that they might be watched and monitored more closely by the king's evil servants, teachers, doctors, policemen and even their neighbors.
This bedtime story hasn't got an ending yet children because it is a story in progress. The one thing that is important for you children to know is that your parents and grand-parents allowed it to happen because they were to cowardly to resist it even a little bit.
