"I pledge conditional allegiance to the burning flag"
Just got back from the Independence Day celebration at the nearby borough that's home to a small liberal arts college. The parade was led off by an anti-war protest. Vets against the war who are still patriotic (yes, that is what their sign said) followed closely behind by a group promoting recycling (dressed in cardboard boxes and aluminum cans).
Nothing says patriotism more than people pushing their agenda on unsuspecting spectators and kids. At least there were some antique cars and a firetruck.
