I doubt your teachers "disliked you". They probably weren't thrilled with your behavior, but may have understood it's source and thus gave you a break. There were most likely a lot of your teachers that gave you breaks that obviously remain invisible to you to this day.

You may imagine what you like, but since I lived my life and have intimate knowledge of it, your imagination doesn't sway or hold water.

More Texas nuttery and fanaticism. It's like it's starting to grow on trees. Unbelievable. And I'm a native Texas watching my state go bat**** with all sort of wacknut idiocracies.

Easy. Your loyalty and commitment to the country may lead you to oppose the government of the moment.:peace

Of course, and that's the point. The pledge is to the flag "and to the republic for which it stands." It stands above and apart from the government of the moment. Opposition to any particular administration or government policy is therefore no reason to decline the pledge.:peace

The Nazis made the trains run on time, developed rocket and jet technology and nearly eradicated unemployment. Does that make National Socialism a good thing?

No, the context of the post you quoted means this is a better question to ask:

Does that make jet technology a bad thing?

I agree that it might sneak by at the lower levels, but when it moves up the chain it will get shot down.

He's always been like that, there's nothing he can't compare to Nazis.

I only know them to make a certain kind of protestant soup and bread. It's good, but they are very stern.
