>Pledge allegiance to This Flag only, or GTFO.
Then you haven't a clue what that flag stands for. My allegiance is to We the People, not that flag, not this government. When this government does wrong, I will not hold blind allegiance. When the people do wrong, I will not hold blind allegiance. Sometimes loving your country means admitting your country is fucked up. Sometimes loving the people means telling the people, they're fucked up.
Think of the country as your family. You love your family but a family member can be your worst enemy, while non family can be your best brother. Don't fuck over your family, but don't automatically side with them either.
