" Well, anything to speak of. But....I think Nugent is revising history.
It was with France’s help that we won our independence."
--HUH??? How the heck did France ever help us with anything during the War for Independence?

"Did Nugent remember that, when France went against Bush in voting for the Iraq War?"
--Yeah. We ALL do. They sniveled and balked at a time when they could have stood-up for what was right. Guess they had too mu$h invested with Saddam that they didn't want to do the right thing. They will never be forgotten for that error in judgement and lack of involvement in the U.S. Coalition.

" And our Statue of Liberty that we’re so proud of: a gift from France".
--It was the best and nicest gift they've ever given US, but it was teamwork between the U.S. and France to get it done. We each paid our portions and we had to build the enormous base.

"The cost of seeing a doctor just for the flu is over $100. I don’t know what can be done. But something must be done."
--I agree. And the answer is in competition within the private sector, but nothing should change with health care for the elderly the way it is now. They've earned that.

There is a thumbnail sketch at wikipedia. Most of this is basic American history.
