What, legally, magically, does the flag represent?
I know this sounds like a grade 1 question. The easy answer is duh: it represents all those things in a symbol.
I guess I'm wondering why when we pledge alliegance we don't say "To the Constitution, the country and society created therefrom, and the people it protects"
Is that too many more words? A flag, to me is just a flag.
Especially now that the left is brainwashing half of our society into thinking it's a hate symbol
