you’re still not answering the question. Stop dodging, how can a pledge a person is FORCED to give mean ANYTHING? ANSWER THE FREAKING QUESTION.
We were indoctrinated into it and adopted it as a display of our patriotism.
NO ONE learned of the socialism, Balamy, Hitler salute ar ANY of that until well in our adult years and by that timer ... we had already decided we were Americans and we say the pledge (warts and all) from our heart to display patriotism.
You keep poking for an answer tio a question YOU invented and then pushed as if it was the subject of this thread.
That is classic (and pedestrian) commie tactics.
You bore me.
