If he chose simply not to speak, I would suggest tolerance.
When an elected representative turns his back on the flag, IT'S TIME TO GO!
It's time also if he remains seated.
He is presumably capable of standing and placing his right hand over his heart. He is not forced to do this; neither is he forced to be a public official paid by the public
There is a section of the pledge I choose NOT to say, because I disagree with it, (NOT the "under God portion, by the way), and I have had folks give me a dirty look. A pledge is an OATH, as far as I am concerned. If he doesn't choose to say it, then I say he that right. Turning his back on the flag however, is a WHOLE DIFFERENT ISSUE!
The writer of the pledge was a socialist pig, and I really wish we had some kind of pledge more appropriate.

During the Ronald Reagen funeral, *Margaret* *Thatcher* recited the Pledge of Allegiance. That she went beyond tolerance into rivers of respect for a country that is not her own speaks volumes about her character, and what she perceieves this country to be.
