Perhaps I misread both the article and your post.
Relax.

the funny thing is they're the ones talking secession and civil war. How very Southern and Democrat. The South has abandoned them. Let the Democrats appeal to Yasser's successors

I beg your pardon but my sister lives in Edinburgh and travels to London weekly and has actually been spat upon by a woman. She gets crap all the time. It's not a lie.

I attended the final stage of the Tour de France last year. Wore my Bush for president t-shirt. Boy did I get some dirty looks. Loved it.

Only went at the last minute when I was sure that Lance Armstrong, an American & a Texan, would win.

I'm thinking of seceding from the Northeast myself, back to Arizona.

I actually mean the English think Scottish people guard their money so much to the point of being stingy. It is all over in their jokes on Scots.

I have always thought it ironic a nation that brought forth an empire in which the sun never sets will today decry peudo-imperialism on a country that hasn't obtained new colonies for more than 50 years, and the country was even that nation's former colonies no less.

"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... "

Perhaps not if she was hanging out in a mosque...

Sorry to all, had to go away as it is dinner time here. Thanks for that. I didn't know there was such a weblog here.

You are right. I have heard about the strong union in Australia. Overall, they are great people.

The over-riding point is that Europeans care only about MONEY! I thought that after they murdered all the Jews they'd be over the money thing... how it's still the same, except worse. Vichy France ministered to Yasshole Terrorat, and yet all of Europe Hates America. As an American, I feel very proud of that. Look at the nature of those who HATE us! It says much more about them and their contemptible and envious cowardice than it says about the true nature of actual Americans...

Yeah, there are some good people. We have some very good friends who are absolutely like minded people. My older son though, a red blooded American, does take a hard time at school. But all the bashing just make him prouder for being an American. But he has a few good friends who totally stand by him and defends America any time anyone attacks him for being an American.

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

Presume much?

I worked extremely well. Funny thing was I kept smirking while saying it.

I would leave EASTERN Europe out of that equation.

If I go to Europe, there would be my destination. I hope my fellow Freepers would agree. Keep our $$$ out of Western Europe. (france, Germany, Belgium) Except for the UK and Italy. They're still standing with us.

"Ah yes, how to win friends and influence people."

The wise man seeks not the good opinion of fools.

No American should have to apologize for being proud of his country, nor should he have to silently suck up the contempt of a bunch of hate-filled twits. Translation: If you want to bend over, that's your business, but some of us would rather stand.
