Pledge of allegiance written by a Nazi???

Did you know that the pledge of allegiance was written by a Nazi (National Socialist) Flag Salesman?

Francis Bellamy was a socialist that instituted the pledge of allegiance and started the government take over of schools.

The original salute was similar to the one used by Nazi Germany in WWII later changed to putting the hand over the heart.
