I really don't see the need to drop it Jim. I'm not ashamed of where I originate.

He's the president (until January, 2009) and all the grumbling and mocking him you or anyone else can do won't alter that fact.

We'll see if he makes it to 2009, I'm beginning to think he won't.

I just realized that I really don't care how you view me... maybe we should just keep it to which air filter works best. Lord knows we've had this conversation a few time.

Foreigners own a lot of U.S. land but this is a global economy and U.S. companies also own land in other countries.

I think more people should try to buy American made products. What else would you expect from a dumb hick?

It is my choice and its a damn shame there aren't more out there that feel the same way.
