first off, to those people who seem to think we've lost any war(s). it must be assumed that you are talking about the vietnam war. we didn't lose that one. we got pulled out because the chicken****e (pardon the language) politcians got cold feet and all the peacenik freaknik hippie pacifist(spelling) types refused to get behind the troops the way they should have. secondly, i'm damn proud to be an American and i think we should all be. this IS the greatest nation in the history of the world and anybody who doubts it should sit down and think about it. what other nation in history has contributed what ours has not only to its own citizens but also to the citizen's of other nations. what other nation in history has come running with both barrels any time we've been asked to help and even a couple times when we weren't. and imo that we always try to leave that nation better than we found it. so yes i think i have a right to be damn proud to be an American and i wouldn't live anywhere else. no other place has the kind of freedom we do. but darker times could be ahead. i fear that certain groups may have figured out how to use our constitutional rights against us. particularly the freedom of religion that so many of us take for granted. now i'm not in any way saying that we should in any way give up that god given freedom. but i'm a little afraid that if certain parties come into power that they may find some way through legislation to pave the way for sharia law to come into effect now i know that's the last thing any of us here wants but europe seems awful close to letting that happen now. i mean look at how many european nations pulled out of iraq and afganistan because of terrorist threats. how easy would it be for those same countries to come under sharia law if they so easily cave to terrorists. i for one think that military service should be mandatory for every citizen in this country at least for a certain number of years before you can be eligible for certain things such as running for any political office in congress. and i think no politician in congress should be able to run for more than two consecutive terms. that way we can get rid of the dirtbags like ted kennedy and hilary clinton and thier ilk. our whole sytem obviously needs an overhaul from the ground up. and we need to close our borders. i think i've made this long enough so i'll just sit back and see what everybody thinks.
