AND TO THE REPUBLIC FOR WHICH IT STANDS

In addition to pledging allegiance to the flag, we pledge allegiance to the Republic for which that flag stands.  If we stop for a moment and think about those words rather than just let them roll off our tongues before the event we are attending begins, they have deep meaning.  We are talking about some serious stuff here.  We are getting into the territory of the outcomes of college football games like Alabama / Auburn, Michigan / Ohio State, Notre Dame / USC, and Texas / Oklahoma.   On a dead serious note, we are talking about the "Rule of Law" which is getting down to basics in our form of government.  Are we a nation of laws?  Or, are we a nation of men and/or women??  Yes, I'm talking about the latest shoe to float to the floor relating to the ongoing email / private server issue involving Mrs. Clinton.  Putting aside politics, as Americans, if we don't get this right, we can flush politics along with everything else as it relates to the "Land of the Free and the Home of the Brave".  In 1972, Republicans had to suck it up, hold their noses with both hands, and deal with the Richard Nixon / Watergate issue for the good of the country and the survival of the Republic.  In 2015 Democrats must do the same concerning the investigation (full, complete, and exhaustive) into the email / private server issue concerning Mrs. Clinton.  I am not accusing Mrs. Clinton of anything, since I do not know the facts and truth and must reserve judgment until the investigation is complete.  I will say emphatically that when an American hero and patriot like General David Petraeus is humiliated and destroyed for what on the surface appears to be a similar and lesser offense, justice for the sake of the Republic must be sought. 
As an American who has voted for Republicans and Democrats, I ask all Americans to temporarily take off your Republican hats and your Democrat hats and put on your America hats and INSIST that this rock be turned over and everything underneath be analyzed and let the chips fall where needed. Period.  This is important, folks; very important.  If you are uniformed, please get educated on the facts when and if they come out.  If you are misinformed, please get educated on the truth when and if it comes out.  If you are one of those who don't care or think it doesn't matter, please move to another country.  This should be a BIG DEAL!   On a positive note: "Then you will know the truth, and the truth will set you free"  - John 8:32 -
