[Talisker]

The country is irretrievably dead and everyone knows it. Memories at best, and they fade.

You've been looking in the mirror too much. America is based on people who never give up, not losers like you. Go whine somewhere else.

[Mr. M.J.B.]

"America is based on people who never give up"

America was based on morals, principles, ideas, and vision.

Those were voluntarily *given up*; America wasn't conquered by an invading army.

"A Republic if you can keep it"
