I think Ted pretty much summed things up while hitting the nail square in his last post.
Just keep that crap to yourself, Colin. You must remember that when you push, others push back.
So the best fix for that is not to push. Whatever G. W. Bush did or was, he was still our president
and we don't start pointing fingers and turning our backs on our country, our home because of his
short comings. Anything that you can find bad to say about this land you will. I have not once read
where you acknowledged the fact that an evil tyrant was captured in Iraq and disposed of because of U.S.
troops. those kinds of things are never mentioned. You never mention the fact that when there is a
world disaster, it's the U.S. that is usually always first on the scene and is the largest financial
contributor in such cases. When people defect from their countries, where do they defect to? YOU
tell me Colin.
I really like what this person had to say concerning the criticism of the u.S. concerning disaster relief
in different parts of the world. This was concerning Haiti:
"An astute observation by some of you that the USA is the largest donor because we are the closest. We were also the first major country on the scene and rendered the most aid to Indonesia after the tsunami. Cuba is even closer than the USA, but I don't see them or Venezuela, both of whom constantly criticize the USA as an imperialist, warmonger nation, doing much of anything to help. Since America is such a bad country, maybe the world won't mind in the future when we mind our own business and stop meddling in other countries affairs. Maybe America ought to take care of our own hungry, poor, unemployed, needy people - we have plenty of them, and stop worrying about the rest of you so much. I think it is great that we are helping Haiti, and that we help people who need it, but I am also personally sick of helping people only to have them spit on us and burn our flag as soon as they are back on their feet. From my perspective, we should help our friends - those who consistently stand by us. Conversely, I would not offer the sweat off my lower extremities to n korea, cuba, iran, venezuela, bolivia, and various other countries that curse the air we breath. Enjoy our generosity for now folks, the day is coming when it won't be so easily had."
Fact is, if the U.S. should decide to mind their own business, countries all over the globe would be in a world of hurt. We're called warmongers and bullies right up until there's a major earthquake, or a tsunami somewhere in the world. You enjoy the freedom you do, Colin because your land shares our basic standard belief of democracy... Remember, this country had to fight its way out of the hands of a British stronghold. And now the two countries work together as allies sharing a common bond of liberty and freedom. So take a look at the larger picture and the sacrifices made by your country and it's leaders as well as ours. And take a larger look at the wonderful liberties and freedom you enjoy everyday because of them, and those like Ted, Woody and Billy who served, fought and even gave their lives so that you can have the right to sit back in the luxury of your dwelling while hiding behind your computer keyboard without allowing yourself to be accountable for anything, and bash their homeland and very thing they fought and died for.
You're a real piece of work.
Kenny,
Colin ain't gonna meet up with you, man
