I think it only applies if you actually cut up a flag, and wear it as clothing.

Nope:

Quote
"The words "flag, standard, colors, or ensign", as used herein, shall include any flag, standard, colors, ensign, or any picture or representation of either, or of any part or parts of either, made of any substance or represented on any substance, of any size evidently purporting to be either of said flag, standard, colors, or ensign of the United States of America or a picture or a representation of either, upon which shall be shown the colors, the stars and the stripes, in any number of either thereof, or of any part or parts of either, by which the average person seeing the same without deliberation may believe the same to represent the flag, colors, standard, or ensign of the United States of America." (Section 3)

Petty much anything that looks like the flag is supposed to be treated as the flag.

So much for liberty.

I'm sorry, if you make it a requirement to worship a damn flag (and I don't care that they call it patriotism, it's fucking WORSHIP) then there is no liberty, it is only tyranny under the flag of freedom.

Well, the pledge itself was actually just an attempt to instill in schoolchildren a sense of nationalism. A lot of folks accept that the much, much later addition of the phrase “Under God” was motivated in a large part as a way to differentiate the U.S. from the Soviet Union.

Bonus irony: The guy that wrote the original pledge was a Christian Socialist.

Also against The Flag Code.

I find the whole concept of a flag code a bit silly.

That's not a fetus by any stretch of the imagination.  That kid has passed his first haircut, making him 18-24 months

Well, a fetus's life is as valuable as a two year old's, so killing a fetus is no different than killing a two year old.<anti-choice>

And they're the ones saying we devalue life.
I'd be more sympathetic if people here didn't act like they knew what they were saying when they were saying something very much wrong.
