No hyperbole at all. How can one be sure whether everyone is truly loyal all day long unless they take oaths on it?
Are you loyal?
I only ask because I often see libs ridicule the very idea of patriotism, and then we see something like this, and they, such as you have done, attack the way patriotism is shown.
It seems disingenuous of you to attack HOW loyalty is shown when you do not believe in being loyal to the nation, or that the nation does not deserve your or anyone's loyalty.
