First, yes, Michael Lind is spot on. We should be pledging to other people, not the government.
Second, I like that a 10-year-old kid whose parents have gay friends refuses to say the Pledge of Allegiance in school because it’s not liberty and justice for all.

gOd news - bad driving Texas, Pledge alterer dead
Two stories of note in the world of gOd today.
First, a San Antonio woman claimed God told her to cause a wreck. Guess you need to go to gOd's garage for car repairs, lady.
Second, Rev. George M. Docherty, responsible for "under God" in the Pledge of Allegiance, has died. Here's why he inflicted that on us, from a 1952 sermon.
Docherty gave the sermon again in 1954, when he knew Ike would be in the audience. Read the full story for more.

“I didn’t know that the Pledge of Allegiance was, and he recited it, ‘one nation, indivisible, with liberty and justice for all,” ’ he recalled in an interview with The Associated Press in 2004. “I came from Scotland, where we said ‘God save our gracious queen,’ ‘God save our gracious king.’ Here was the Pledge of Allegiance, and God wasn’t in it at all.”
