ORIGINAL: DaddySatyr Well, spoken, sir; especially when one spends a little bit of time observing these very boards (I'm stealing the highlighted word, by the way). I was going to start this sentence with: "What surprises me is ..." but, unfortunately, I'm not surprised by the stupidity of the American people. I am, however, appalled by it. There's (apparently) a (growing) majority of people in this country that just accept the Pablum© that the news media forces down their throats until they can regurgitate it to friends, co-workers and others in an attempt to sound as intelligent as the talking heads that they worship. It saddens me that Americans can continually defecate all over the very principles that founded this country and that their fathers and grandfathers fought so hard to preserve and protect. I know quite a few dems that hold the beliefs they do out of simple rebellion; their parents felt one way and in an effort to piss on those graves, these PPLs pick as opposite a viewpoint as is possible and defend it as ardently as their predecessors defended the values that made this country great. I've used the word "American" a few times, here. I know I've said this before but it may have been a while so, I will repeat it ... The Europeans amongst us tend to be supportive of the dems because the American dems are moving more and more toward socialism which is what most of Europe has become. Well, I don't give two mouse turds about how foreigners think a country in which they don't live, probably never will and likely have no desire to live is run. If it's that important to them, they can become citizens and vote. Until then, they can stop exporting the wonderful "new ideas" that have made the EU such a "success" (Please see Greece and Spain and quite a few others, on that side of the pond). You'll notice, please that I don't comment on European doings because I have no first-hand knowledge of living under those conditions and wouldn't presume to know what might or might not work there; a burden that isn't shared by Europeans, in general. Peace and comfort, Michael Spoken like a man without a clue. Gotta love the land of the "free if you agree with me".
