2.also, i'm glad you survived;a friend of mine on FR wasn't so lucky.
3. had my ancestors WON their war for LIBERTY, yes we MIGHT still be a "poor farming country" but we would be FREE & NOT afflicted with the likes of the "hilleryBEAST",olympia snow-JOB, chuckie schumer, "plugs" biden, "the Cape Cod orca", HANOI-john kerry & a host of other SOCIALISTS/creeps/CRIMINALS that the north keeps sending to the congress. to get rid of those sorts of idiots/bigots/haters PERMANENTLY, i'd vote to return to candles & outdoor toilet facilities!!!!
4. btw, you folks "up there" may wish that we southrons HAD won before the likes of the UNassimilated folks from "farther south" get through with what they have planned for this country. at least your neighboring country would be English speaking!(you might want to practice saying, "Mi casa es su casa" and/or "Mi patria es TU patria".)
5. and finally, BEFORE you question the patriotism/service to this country, you should go "sign up" for the armed forces. we vets do NOT take kindly to being "preached at" by the "didn't serve", "wasn't there", "didn't do that" set.
