Helen Kirwan-Taylor

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

[quidnunc]

What were you saying about Brit-bashing?

[SquirrelKing]

Be glad to help them fill out all the proper paperwork to make it so.

Sometimes, I Pretend I Am Canadian.

That's OK. Sometimes, I pretend you aren't a freaking idiot!

[satchmodog9]

Blah blah blah

[injin]

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.

[Domangart]

As the former speaker said last yesterday. We are two people, one who left and those who stayed.

[TFine80]

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.

[Buckeye Battle Cry]

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!

"Every meeting I go to, every social occasion, even when I'm out shopping, someone hears my accent and challenges me to a debate,"

I'd just yawn in their face and tell them I could the Guardian myself if I wanted their opinion.

[Unknowing]

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.

[Dashing Dasher]

How do California Republicans deal with hate?

Same thing....

[clintonh8r]

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.

[TADSLOS]

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.

[Willie Green]

"Actually, I'm voting for Kerry" was the simplest way of getting out of a difficult conversation.

Good grief, no need to humiliate yourself like THAT.
Just tell 'em you think Papa Bush should've nuked Saddam back in '91.
They won't bother you after that.

[Cowboy Bob]

What a Loser. I travel extensively overseas - primarily in the CIS. I never hide the fact that I'm American, and I even boast that Reagan was the greatest President of all time. I've never come across anger, only envy.

[cyborg]

I didn't pretend to be anything but myself when I visited England. I didn't sense any anti-Americanism whatsoever.

[dr_who_2]

More of the same old stereotypical tripe.
