WOW! You really surprise me! The other day you basically called Don Smitty a Nazi! And now you have the nerve to make statements like this? The Pledge Of Allegiance is Hogwash. Nice! Because of what that Flag symbolizes, you have the courage to speak these words. If others had not died for the rights that have been afforded us, the symbols of freedom, then you would not have the right to say these words! The right that has been afforded to you under The Flag that you so much disregard! You claim to be a "real" american because you scream for civil rights, fair treatment, civil liberties, etc. And then you go and make statements that if our country is so fragile that if someone wants to burn a flag in protest than maybe our freedoms are not worth saving ! That is a contradiction. If our freedoms are not worth saving, then the civil rights and civil liberties that you so strongly believe in and stand up for go down the drain as well!
