I think a more fitting/modernized version of the Pledge is in order, so……..tell me what you think?
“I pledge blind obedience, to the Socialist Government, of the United States, and to the great Empire it has forged, guided by divine providence, with corruption, mayhem and death for all that we can force it upon.”
Ah, yes. The Roman salute. Showing true allegiance. Not much different than the swastika, a peace symbol in some cultures, and in some native American cultures it's called the "Walking Man".
The official pledge is
"I pledge allegiance to the Flag of the United States of America, and to the Republic for which it stands, one Nation under God, indivisible, with liberty and justice for all."
My preference for those representing us is
I pledge allegiance to individual rights
in the United States of America,
and to all private persons
under whom I serve,
one nation, of individuals,
under any Gods or none,
with liberty and justice for each.
