Flags...

I pledge allegiance to the flag...Hmmmm...part of what it is to be American. For foriegn nationals in the United States...that is part of the requirement to becoming a United States citizen. So how, can this or the displaying of the flag be found to be "Offensive" by anyone in the United States? How can anyone demand that the flag be removed or otherwise not be displayed? Here is a thought:

If the "Pledge of Allegiance" offends you, YOU offend me. How about YOU go away instead of my pledge?

If the displaying of the flag of the United States of America "Offends" you, YOU offend me, how about YOU go away instead of my flag?

How about banning the public display of ANY other nation's flag not affiliated with a sanctioned international event? Kind of like all of those "Mexican" flags, "Cuban" flags, "Puerto Rican" flags, "Canadian" flags, "Jamaican" flags, et cetera hanging from the rear view mirrors in cars around the country?

Would ANY other country in the world tolerate me going to their country then, demanding that they remove or otherwise not display national pride in any fashion?

All of you that any of this pertains to...YOU OFFEND ME, and as you demand my forms of national pride be taken away, removed or mot be displayed...I DEMAND that YOU leave MY country, you don't belong here.
