If it said "I pledge allegiance to the principles outlined in 'The Constitution' of the United States of America" - I would agree, but it dosen't.

Flags can be and have been co-poted, and used to cloak vile behavior.

Clearly written principles cannot.

It is a pledge to your country; not to socialism, or any type of belief, just to our great republic. I think that is a bare minimum requirement in order to enjoy citizenship of this nation.

You are mincing words. Everyone knows what the pledge means. This is what happens when people OVERTHINK things. This is why the liberal establishment is out of touch with flyover country. Instead of living life, they think it to death and make life miserable for the rest of us.
