I've heard it, and read it, many times before. It's a great summation and explanation, but the pledge has always made me cringe. Not because of the words themselves - I think they're great; though a lot of them were added and changed long after the original was written.
What I object to is the very thing the site putting up that version says: "On behalf of politically incorrect Americans everywhere." Conservatives have their own versions of political correctness, they just hide it by calling the other side names.
