Does that make it better ?

You did it your way, which was the correct way!

"I was born in New Zealand..."

Ahhh...Middle Earth

[Tennessee Nana]

[fieldmarshaldj]

Congrats.

>> This is the greatest country in the world and no Obama, or Romney or Clinton or moslem terrorist can change that try as they might.. America was kissed by God at the outset, and He holds our future.. the Founding Fathers acknowledged God as the creator of these shores and He and only He will determine our path..

Well said, and AMEN.

While living in Charleston NORTH of Broad, did you ever pick up and/or read any of Pat Conroy's books? R2z

Huguenot,
fled France due to Catholic persecution.
Sounds like a lot of our forefathers came here for that kind of freedom.
Course a lot of jails and were emptied to America too.,

I have an old college friend down in Moncks Corner ...

That one made me smile.

America was kissed by God at the outset, and He holds our future..

That one brought a tear to my eye.

I just got back home and what a surprise you have left! You come from quite a lineage, eh?!

Somewhere along the way I think I just fell off the cabbage truck or something.

Seriously, I feel a bit ashamed reading of your history and of your love for our country.

I desperately love this country but I believe I have spent my life taking this country for granted.

You’ve shamed me and also given me hope in declaring that none of those knucklehead politicians can change the greatness of this country.

Thanks for choosing to become an American citizen, Nana...you’ve made it a better place.
