Quote:why is it unamerican to not feel anything about a bunch of words
but it isnt perfect.oh no, i dont think the pledge is more than words, i know our country does shitty things.i guess i'm a commie terrorist now
Like I said before, the IDEA of America is greater than the country itself. The Pledge of Alliegance is just some stupid words that we all had to say every day, but the idea behind them is what is important. The fact that you pledge yourself to the idea of America is better than just saying the poem.
Sometimes people forget what the idea of America is, or they do the wrong things for its namesake, but that doesn't tarnish the basic premise behind this nation, and that premise is still one of the most beautiful ideas there is
Sorry, I'm just a patriotic young fart

Your pocket Bible will stop an assailant's bullet, but not before it passes through four innocent bystanders, a school-bus gas tank, and your genitals.
