JERSEY CITY AND BEYOND - Jersey City not patriotic? Really?

That is the case if one believes a recent Men's Health magazine poll.

The poll, gauging patriotic U.S. cities, ranked Jersey City dead last amongst 100 cities.Coming in first was Portland, Ore.

The magazine said that the poll was carried out using the following methods: calculating the percentage of registered voters who turned out for state and federal elections from 2004 to 2008; money spent on military veterans per capita; percentage of residents who participate in civic activities and sales of fireworks and U.S. flags. - RK

What many people mistake as Patroitism is blind, thoughtless loyalty. Portland is one of my favorite cities because people think about what they believe. This finding makes me think much better about Jersey City.
