I know people like this, I went to school with them and I hear them spouting their political beliefs at any given chance. The religious right (especially the Bush administration) have rather successfully bred hate and ignorance in a rather large segment of the American population, especially in the South. These kind of people are generally homophobic and they see action such as refusing the pledge as being the same as spitting on the flag.
