This country

[HoodStrype]

First of all, Mr. 5.0... Do you listen to Hannity? I love that dude- he keeps me informed and your stance sounds much like his from a general stand.

Second... What is this crap I keep reading here and elsewhere that states, "We are in the wrong, have been in the wrong and will be in the wrong; I don't blame ________________ (Fill in your country of choice) for acting the way they do."

In my simplistic way of thinking, that's like standing on a wooden raft in the middle of shark infested waters and complaining that the wood its made from is rough on your feet. Get over it! Who's side are you on anyway? If people like this get control of the government America will not stand too much longer as a Super Power. Like I tell my uncle (from Germany)...

"Go Back!!!!! Leave!!!!!!!! If you can't inform yourself, educate yourself and do nothing but throw sand and complain about this great country, by all means try out another country and leave mine alone!"

Now, please return all seats to their most full, upright posiition- and as always... Thank you for shopping at Kmart.

I only catch Sean Hannity's radio show occasionally but I have always liked Rush Limbaugh, the Godfather of conservative talk radio. He is not always right on every issue but he is close to it - and he nails most of the leftist crap almost 100% of the time. Sean Hannity is good too as is Laura Ingram. I like them all - even if I don't hear them as often as I might wish.

That kind of leftist attitude comes from a combination of things, like 'liberal guilt', best described as being embarrassed for being a citizen of a successful county while others are not. It also is a mindset that some elitist Americans now adopt as they consider themselves 'citizens of the world' with no real alligence to this country, even as they enjoy it's freedoms and financial benefits, of course. In short, the 'Blame America First' crowd simply detest their own country and wish it to be brought down in any way possible, so they genuflect toward 'multiculturalism' and find endless excuses for terrorist thugs, in effect, blaming the victim...America and it's citizens. This is why I loath these people. They are a pox on America and I am sick of them. Other than that, I have no problems with them.

Foreigners like your uncle are simply afarid of America's strength and misunderstand our history and culture, for the most part. They are taught many inaccurate things about the U.S. in their schools and tend to have a simplistic and distorted view of us. If your uncle lives here, he should educate himself and learn the truth about America...not bash it, much less fear it.

America is one of the freest and most open nations to have ever existed. We are basically the front-line against murderous dictators and Islamic fascists who would re-make the world in their own, twisted image. We are generous and tolerant to all and of all. We have absolutely nothing to be ashamed of, much less apologize for to other countries. If liberals and others cannot see that, that is their loss. However, that they have so much influence in academa , the media as well as Hollywood is disturbing. That we also have talk radio, the internet and a few other outlets does help balance things a lot more than they used to be, when liberals like Walter Cronkite dominated the news media and few other voices were heard. No more.

Nice to hear from another conservative. keep up your opposition to anti-American sentiment and never lose your faith in our great country and it's people...well, most of them, anyway.
