12. thanks for standing up (even if it means sitting down) for them!

You're fighting for what that flag stands for, which is far more noble than fighting for the flag itself.

When I was in school the only one who didn't get hassled for not doing the pledge was the Jehovah's Witness girl (who, given the whole no false idols before me thing, you'd thing the right wing would be with). I always ommited the "under god". It was only added in the 50's to intimidate atheists.
