Good lord, boomer,
I think he said he was 42. The definition of boomer isn't "someone who said something I don't like".

I pledge allegiance to God and no flag at all. I always thought the pledge was a weird prayer like thing that we did. I certainly don't pledge allegiance to the current government.
I wish I could find it and have looked for it for hours, but I can’t find the clip of German children pledging to die for Hitler and calling him their lord and it creepily lines up with the Pledge of Allegiance. Never looked at it the same after that, and would have never done the morning announcements if I had seen that clip.

You’re right. Everything that man has created will fail. God’s strength is made perfect in our weakness.

No actually not. I’m old (72) and can remember when “under God” was added in the 1950s. I think I was in 1st or 2nd grade.

Incorrect. Gen X. When you assume- well, let’s assume you know the rest.

You mean, passing down the time honored, tried and tested and proven ideals and beliefs that made this country the greatest on earth? The same ideals that made us the beacon of freedom across the world? That made us the target of those who could not accept the truth?
You poor child. Who hurt you this badly? Just because you’ve never (few of us have) seen anyone do it right- doesn’t mean it’s not the truth. All these things- are a vapor. Thankfully, His grace and mercy is sufficient for us all.

To be honest I kind of have a problem with the Pledge of Allegiance to the Flag. What if that flag is taken over by fascists and communists? You should pledge allegiance to American/Western ideals, but that’s a hell of an allegiance that could mean really anything.
I respectfully disagree because of the inclusion of the other words in the verses. See? That's how conservatives debate.
Take a knee libs.

I'll pledge allegiance to what I damn well please!
That allegiance happens to be ideals laid forth in the Constitution of the United States of America.
You sir, are not man enough to take those Rights from me!
As for the flag, as long as the pledge has the words "To the Republic for which it stands,One Nation under God, with Liberty and justice for all" in it. I'll proudly salute and pledge allegiance to it.
I took an oath 54 years ago this coming November, that I would support and defend the Constitution of the United States against all enemies, foreign and domestic; that I will bear true faith and allegiance to the same.
I do NOT support the usurper in office now, nor his cabinet,DOD,DOJ,DOE, FDA ect.
Don't you dare presume to tell me what I should or should not pledge allegiance to!
I have unwavering faith in that oath and its values in protecting the Free Agency of all men women and children of this nation, past, present and future!

Pledging to a flag is kind of silly.
The Under God thing is also a political thing added in modern times.
It also kind of creeps me out to see a bunch of kids mindlessly reciting the pledge, seems like a lot of indoctrination going on with that.

I have, for the past 20 years or so, said the pledge of allegiance without the word “indivisible.”

I don't pledge allegiance to any other flag. You forgot that part.

And you're still bringing up slavery and Jim Crow... The lib go to when they can't figure out why certain segments of the population still can't rise above their same skinned brethren that recently came from the same continent
