-> When American Citizens with dual citizenship pledges allegiance
-> to the flag, to which flag do they pledge allegiance too?

I have dual British/Canadian citizenship. I have never been asked to
pledge allegiance to either the union jack or the maple leaf. There is
only one country in the world that regards its flag as an object of
worship, and therefore only one flag that gets worshipped.

Its a pledge not a prayer. you wouldn't understand if we tried to
explain it.

"I have dual British/Canadian citizenship"

Talk about inability to commit!

I was brought up in Detroit Michigan, and (though I have no actual claim to
Canadian citizenship) consider myself to be sorta part Canadian. We Detroiters
watched Canadian TV interchangeably with US TV, listened to Canadian rock & roll
radio stations interchangeably with the US variety, drank Canada Dry sodas, ate
Canadian bacon, and thought nothing of using Canadian currency. We often
crossed over to the Canadian side of the border because (frankly) Windsor was a
nicer place than Detroit.

So what does that make me?

I do understand it, but you guys take the whole flag thing to heights I
don't want to even think about.

LOL. I worked in Midland, MI, for three years, and of the couple of dozen
people I was working with (other than the other Canadians) only two of them
had actually _been_ to Canada, and only one had done it often. Most
Americans, even in border states, don't have a clue about Canada.
So what does that make me?

Out of touch :) The Canadian dollar hasn't been accepted in the US for
about 30 years - since we let it dip below US$1. Windsor still has a
slightly lower violent crime rate than Detroit, but vastly higher than the
rest of Canada.

As for inability to commit, the US has plenty of dual citizens two. I'm
also dual British/Canadian, but I am firmly committed to Canada.

The original pledge didn't have "under god " in it. that was added
later.

The "commit" remark was just a little joke. The quality of the joke can
be questioned but not the intent.

Interesting -- plenty of places here in Maine accept Canadian currency, at
an appropriate exchange rate.

Really? I haven't found a place along the border in either Michigan or New
York for years, except for the liquor stores right by the bridge in
Buffalo.

The flag is a metaphor for country, thought you could figure that out.
