The pledge was written by a socialist, for God's sake. And his cousin wrote the God-awful utopian novel "Looking Backwards" which is also basically nationalist and socialist (pre-Nazi, that is). The conservative support for the pledge is yet another nonsensical, hypocritical position in which they engage.

"the soldiers are out there, they're doing their job."

This is literally the answer to everything. Why even think about anything?

Did we learn nothing from calling a show Cougertown?

YOU ALL KNOW MY PAIN. LET'S START A SAD, HATLESS SUPPORT GROUP.

And the Supreme Court has ruled that cops have no obligation to protect specific individuals (unless they had a specific agreement, such as…

Oh, I know it does. And yeah, cowardly vile business people group together and demand that unsightly poors get off "their" sidewalks all the time.
