If anything we should be pledging allegiance to the US Constitution. The State does not own us, we own the State.
You may do so if you wish.
It's called "Freedom" and the Flag of The United States of America represents that freedom.
Until you have stood in the shadows and heard the cries of despair turn to cries of joy and happiness upon seeing the American Flag on your shoulder, until you have had a father or mother thrust their baby into your arms and hug you and thank you for their lives upon seeing the American Flag on your shoulder don't presume to lecture me on what I should be pledging my allegiance to.
I know what the American Flag stands for and I am proud to Pledge Allegiance to it and to the Republic for which it stands, one nation under God.
Thanks Marine. Don't let lappdog get your dander up. It's more important to lappdog to show everyone how much he knows and that he's ALWAYS right, than it is to be a decent guy. Remember, this is the "intellectual" who proudly, and
unashamedly, taunted a guy who everyone knew was within weeks or months of his death from lung cancer.
