Oh please, Dear? For your information The Bellamy Salute preceeded Nazism by at least thirty years and definitely wasn't the creepiest motherfucking shit you ever saw.

Also, on a personal level, we're just enormous fans of this country. The Declaration of Independence, The United States Constitution, especially the more appropriate amendments are an enormous source of inspiration. I say the pledge with no problems (well, tbh I'm not a fan of the under God part but until Congress does something we're stuck either listening to everyone else do it while we skip it or just doing it for shits 'n giggles), and I hold my hand over my heart. I love the flag. And I'll burn that motherfucker in protest if I want to, okay? America is an ideal and we'll never reach it but we have to keep on moving forward to make it the best it can be. Whenever the pledge fades away I won't miss it, but it's a time-and-place thing that's fine by me.
