"In other words, I was not automatically dismissive of someone just 
because they did not pledge."

No it was your bigotry towards people that don't have the same social 
standing or moral beliefs as you.


"First I thought that "liberty and justice for all" might be wrong 
because of things like sexism and racism (and bullied kids, like me)"

Bullied as a child were you? Not surprising I guessed this to be the 
case, your offensive personality is typical of a gutless wimp who likes 
to run his mouth from the safety of his keyboard. Is this when you 
turned to food for comfort? The marines can't make into a man if you 
aren't one to start with.

"The hardest point for me to reconcile was the "indivisible"
part, since the War Between The States had occured. "

Normal people call it the "American Civil War".
