Bushies pledged allegiance to Enron, Exxon and Halliburton, plus Rove dirty politics. Their allegiance had nothing to do with God or America.

Fundamentally, America is two things, our democracy and our Constitution. Those are the only two things which separate us from the Phillipines or Mexico as a government. So those are the things we should be pledging allegiance to. We should definitely not be pledging allegiance to any politicians, and only soldiers need pledge to obey the president, so long as there are checks and balances to make sure that president doesn't do anything nutty like Bush did in Iraq.

God is too amorphous a concept to be universally pledged to. Religion is a private matter which should be kept out of politics and government as much as possible. We have freedom of religon in this country which also means freedom to worship your dog if you want to. And pledging allegiance to Bush's foreign policy or something is just stupid.
