I think you're right about people not believing in what that quote stands for. However, I do think it is people on both extreme ends, left and right. On the one hand the far left get mad at something that shouldn't matter, like the pledge, and on the other, the people in the moral majority get upset when a breast get shown on cable tv. What about all of us in the middle. (And yes, I think I fall closer to the middle than you might think).
You have a very good point, 058.
