"After all, the flag is symbolic of the Pledge of Allegiance."

You dispute this?



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.

beat you. ;)

As far as "80 Percent of Americans Support (a flag-burning amendment)," do we still need to remind anyone that this is a republic, not a mob-rule democracy?

Either you get dizzy easier than I do, or you are mincing words. I can't think of a greater symbolism of allegiance to these United States of America than "OLD GLORY" herself. (The Pledge of Allegiance being a vocalization of that sentiment.) I may not waste time with busy-body congressman proposing silly laws and amendments like this one. But I absolutely don't waste time with pukes burning, or defend anothers burning, of the Flag as some anti-American political statement. Citizens *act* like citizens rather than just wearing the term like a badge.
