It is absurd to pledge allegiance to a flag. A flag is a piece of cloth. The pledge should really read as follows.
I pledge allegiance to the United States of America, one nation, indivisible, with liberty and justice for all.
Or perhaps, if we are to be honest, it should read as follows:
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 the majority.
