Allegiance to the United States of America

Yes.


I don't see that reciting words is actually doing anything for the nation.


Absolutely.



1. What responsibilities to the government do you want people to have?
2. Would you want everyone to enlist into the military?
3. Would you want everyone to join the profession of first responders?
4. Would you want everyone to join the teaching profession?
5. Would you want everyone to volunteer their time to help out non-profitable charitable organizations?
6. Would you want everyone to volunteer time working in a soup kitchen for the homeless?

You're a citizen, you pay taxes - The government should pay allegiance to you. Currently, it pays allegiance to the high bidder.

Well which is it: it is or it isn't written into "state law"? What states do you know it's written into and which you think it's written into.

You have such a casual relationship with facts.

I call Bull **** on your pledge claims. It's written into Texas law purely to slip the Texas State Pledge into a law I break every time I can, screw Texas.

I freely pledge my allegiance. I will not be forced into it. How does one trust the allegiance of people compelled to pledge?

I'd settle for all these compelled allegiance supporters to sign up in the armed forces or peace corps and put some skin in the ******* game.
