If this is so clearly to you, you won´t have any problems to quote the relevant parts out of my posts here, have you? Where is it clearly that I want to paint the US?
Or don´t you trust anyone except proofed republicans? Don´t you think that other points of view might help you fixing your points of view or even become better in evaluating things? Ok, that´s just my opinion. I am just a guest here. If I am not welcome just say it. If it is the opinion of the majority here then I will leave. Otherwise just stay out of my thread if you do not thrust me.
That is all. Returning to lurking mode now.
If your first reaction to the Santayana quote is to think of Vietnam, then I don't trust you. Why? Because only anti-American socialists think that way.
