N.Y. School to Maintain 'Partial' Pledge of Allegiance Policy
Despite pleas that the Pledge of Allegiance should be recited in unison over the public address system, students at an upstate New York elementary school will continue to hear only a six-word prompt before they continue the recitation in their classrooms.

I'm not sure this has been true for a while now. Even elementary school children are learning to be ashamed of the United States -- an historical emphasis on injustices perpetrated against the Native Americans, chattel slavery, child labor, bigotry against immigrants, the civil rights movement, Vietnam, and so on. It's considered to be in poor taste to discuss the superiority of the United States or the massive wealth it has brought to the rest of the world.

Good intentions don’t matter and a lack of understanding of economic principles is no excuse. What matters are the actual consequences of government policy. Those whom liberals claim to love – the poor – are the ones who suffer the most from liberal economic policies.

But yes, schools teach guilt for the US. Very much so. But they still teach one to be proud of it, at least where I was from. Pride and guilt. The more they're put together, the more effective each is.

Is that per month, quarter, or year? There are many homeowners in NJ paying over $15k a year on property taxes, which should be considered criminal. But we have to send the wealth to less fortunate **** holes such as Newark so they can spend a billion a year for their 70% drop out rate.

So you need to pay someone with a lot of guns a set amount of money to leave you alone, or they'll hurt you, take what you own?
The mob calls it protection.
The government calls it taxes.
