The Bill of Rights is bullshit because James Madison owned a tobacco plantation.

Shit's all sorts of different now.
I'm bullshit cause I owned a pair of Jordache jeans.

I look more rad than Lutheranism
I like how he's on old school Vice President. Almost completely invisible.
Darth Cheney was kept from the public eye, but I'd bet if he went in to get new eyeglasses, everyone would recognize him.
Right before their faces melted.

You know, Al Gore may have gotten dicked over by the media for something he never actually said and perhaps indirectly leading to thousands of deaths and the near collapse of the world's financial system, but we got one hell of a great commercial out of it.

I wish I could just go somewhere to get flensed but none of the whaling ships near me take Medicare.
Woke at 10 after finally giving up on family tree making at 4am. RSI, as expected, has gone bonkers.
We had the pledge out in front of my grammar school every morning. It didn't bug me and I didn't notice anyone being ostracized for anything. OTOH, I think there are schools where kids could be bullied for not saying it or not standing up and that's reason enough not to have it.
I have little problem with it other than the interpolated "under God". I always thought of it is stating our ideals rather than the reality. And I didn't pay attention to the fact that it was pledging to the flag rather than what the flag symbolized until I was many years past daily recitation of it (my next grammar school I attended when I was 9 didn't say it).
While I hate jingoism, I don't think waving the flag is that per se. When I was an exchange student in Denmark there were Danish flags waving from every home (it's similar in Sweden). The fact that the right wing has appropriated the flag is annoying. It's something I wish the left would get over. Progressive rallies using the flag would take some of the bad meaning away from the flag, IMO.

Of course, you're not just pledging allegiance to the flag. You're pledging allegiance
1) to the flag, and
2) and to the republic for which it stands
