I hate saying the Pledge of Allegiance. I think it's stupid to salute a flag.
Despite the fact that I like the American flag and what I think it stands for, like the right to burn the American flag in protest.
But I hate the words of the pledge, especially the really stupid "under God". I remember saying the pledge before the "under God" crap. Then, we got Joe McCarthy and a bunch of other MFing Aholes running around and faking religion and piety and the psychopathic hypocrites added the "under God" crap.
If we are going to say something to the flag, given today's circumstances and the raging gun nuttery about us, the only thing we should say is:
LOCKDOWN. TAKE SHELTER.
These are the watchwords, the sacred creed, of our nation, America, these days.
