'Cause a rainbow flag is just like "hey, this is about acceptance". An American flag is "hey, this is about blind obedience and devotion to this!"

He's got it reversed. The only people blindly obedient or devoted to the US government, other than the government itself, are maybe... maybe the military? But they're still technically the government. But even the most devoted stars-and-stripes loving soldier will tell you they'd lay their lives down for your right to criticize the country and government. And that for damn sure isn't something you'd ever see from the Rainbow Brigade. If you want to talk about blind obedience and devotion, nothing holds a candle to the Marxist groups represented by that rainbow flag.

As for The Pledge... kids say it for 10 seconds each morning and that's it. There's no followup discussion about patriotism or even an explanation of why they're saying it. It's just a weird tradition at this point and has no effect on the kids. This is in stark contrast with what's been going on in schools now with administrators and teachers trying at every opportunity to align kids' moral compasses with the Rainbow ideologies, going so far as to incorporate that shit into fucking MATH.
