After all, the flag is symbolic of the Pledge of Allegiance.
Really?
You dispute this?

I do.
The flag is symbolic of our great land, not the pledge itself (that would be circular - a pledge to a symbol of the pledge?).
It is legal to criticize this great land, as well it should be. That includes burning a flag. I don't like the idea of flag-burning, but the law does not exist to enshrine my own personal taste.

Yes, I dispute this. I will humor you and explain.
You logic is circular at best. The flag is symbolic of our nation, The United States of America, not the pledge which was written after the flag was adopted.
Further, the line from the Pledge that you quote says "The Flag". . . "the Republic for which it stands"...get it, it stand for the Republic. Also, how is the Flag going to by symbolic of a Pledge that is about that Flag? Just thinking about it is making me dizzy.

After all, the flag is symbolic of the Pledge of Allegiance.How could the flag even remotely be symbolic of the pledge? What came first, the chicken or the egg?
