Leaders are not people I would consider myself loyal to, simply because if they start acting stupid, I want them OUT of power. Loyalty is NOT a good thing when it applies to ONE person's ideas. Anyone can have a dumb idea, and as a responsible nation, we are to point out and protest those ideas, not be loyal to them because 'our great leader said it so it's true.' Another thing, I think that it should be required that kids at least stand in respect to the pledge. You don't want to recite it? Fine. But you need to respect your country, its history, and what it stands for. If you disagree with everything about it and you hate it that much... go somewhere else.
