The way it is commonly used when discussing loyalty oaths or other pseudo-patriotic drivel. Definition 1a) or 1c) if you prefer 1a) A solemn, formal declaration or promise to fulfill a pledge, often calling on God, a god, or a sacred object as witness. Often, but I wouldn't even say usually it involves God, but the Pledge of Allegiance does make a "under God" reference. Why split hairs here? So the Pledge of Allegiance isn't an oath. Is it still alright to MAKE people say PLEDGES? What about the 1st Amendment? Now on to other disturbing acts --just heard on the news this evening 15 ethnic attacks on people of Indian and Middle Eastern descent just in the Bay Area. An Arizona Sikh gas station attendant was also killed. They had a Sikh on who was saying of all the people wearing turbans in the U.S., probably 99% of them are Sikhs. They are not Muslim. An Indian man had his mailbox burned. There are so many morons out there.
