I say not true. Why?:
Lets start at the begining:
From grades k-12 children and young adults are required (forced) to swear allegience to the U.S. (there are penalties for noncompliance)
There have been many controversies and lawsuits over this in the last decade or so, but for the wrong reason I'm less woried about god being in The Pledge of Allegiance than of the fact it is not optional (what happened to freedom of speach first of all, and second of all this is a binding verbal contract with the government. how many children do you know that fully understand this concept?). Speak or act out against the government you are officially guilty of breach of contract and treason. Why? because you swore to be loyal to them!

MORE EXCITING POSTS TO FOLLOW! (It's past my beddy-bye time!)

And remember, in America, you are free to leave.
I retract. Recently I'm thinking that the price of liberty is blood. If you wish to contribute your own blood to freedom, fine... if not pay taxes.

Why does money exist? Because they can't take a tenth of your crops and livestock.

Fuck the man.

Sorry I doubted you.
