Helen Kirwan-Taylor Hyphenated name. Wow. A woman proving she is just as good as a man by retaining her father's surname.

hmmm Battle of Britain ? Lend-Lease ? the Battle of the Atlantic? D-Day? the eradication of the Nazis?
Holding the Soviets at bay? Our support for the the UK during the Falklands War ?
You Americans should just print out a list of these great events wherein , were it not for America , Britain would have either ceased to exist or had a much harder time of it.
Just hand the mealy mouthed bastards the list and walk away.
As you walk off tell them how much you think of gallant Tony Blair and how the great majority of we true blooded Americans love the man.
Stupid people, they are hero worshiping the wrong models.

Three months ago when I and my son were in Great Britain I wore a ball cap with an American flag everyday I wasn't doing something formal, and a Bush Cheney shirt as often as I could get away with it. Every time I was on the tubes for more than 5 minutes I talked about the war and how much we appreciated our alies and hated the French. Be American and proud of it. Let them choke if they don't like it.

This is a total lie... I was just in London and had no problem at all. There are so many Americans there and Britain is as much involved in what is controversial as we are...
The media lies about this story constantly.

Why pretend?
Renounce the blessings of American Citizenship if you are so embarassed.
The red states would appreciate it and the blue states will be one vote weaker.
It's a win for all concerned!

It only makes sense that eating eels and kidneys is just slightly less damaging to the human brain than eating mollusks. At least they have the decency to mispronounce their own language, and to help the United States when we need them.

My wife and I have spent two weeks a year in the English countryside every year since 2000. We've never hidden the fact that we're Americans and we've never had a problem. We do avoid the cities, though, so I can't speak for the attitudes there.

The UK is rapidly becoming Islamic. Blair's foreign policy is good but his domestic policy is a nightmare.
Western Europe is so politically corrects and they have let Muslims flood in. The Dutch have seen where that has led them. Crime by Islmic gangs in the UK is out of control but the nespapers nevr report it.
They know they are doomed because of the exploding Islamic population. They are sheep to the growing wolves and they think by bleeting that they hate Bush that they will be saved. The Western Europeans are hostages in their own countries and they think that by hating Israel and America that they will not be devoured by teh Islamic wolves.

She did not vote.The truth is that I would have voted for Bush if I had to make a choice.
No, the truth is, you're gutless and not worthy of being American.
