A little off topic, eh. This is usually the type of garbage one sees from libs and religious zealots when they can't support their arguments and are backed into a corner. Canadians don't tend to call themselves Americans, nor do Mexicans, nor do Chileans, etc. They refer to themselves according to their nationality, not their geographical location. The United States' Citizenry call themselves Americans pretty Uniquely. Illegals may fracture a law coming here and think themselves no worst than someone caught speeding on one of our highways. In effect, that may be true. It is not however license to drop our drawers and let nationalist socialists and terrorists walze across our borders under the guise of peace loving freedom seekers to wreck our nation from the economy on down as they appear to have been attempting to do for some years. If the politicians refuse to act, the citizenry will act on their own as many have already. Our military is pretty fierce; but, they're nothing compared to a PO'd "American" citezen with a purpose. Don't tread!

A little off topic, eh.

Not at all.

It has been my experience that those less traveled have a rather myopic view of the world. Especially US citizens with regard to pride in our equally myopic nationality moniker.

On more than one occasion the insulting personal antics of US citizens in other parts of the Americas were emphasized by the reminder that we "weren't the only Americans".

The critics point was that while national pride is expected, it should be used judiciously while a guest is another's country. The critic's point was well taken and gawd's pompous characterizations reminded me of the small minded attitudes of these less traveled. He has apparently become what he professes to despise.
