Just my 2 cents here. But i do like putting in the pennies and getting
a quarter back at times.
I think that that Americans are individuals. Each thinks and acts to his/her moral standards. Individualism has a long history in this country. It is where our concept of one vote and one person came from. Also our concept that all are free and equal.
We can have a Micheal Moore in our society. But when his work is baised......as it often is.....he loses crediblity. A decision of the individual to accept or decline his positions or statements.
It only when we come to politics.....do people begin to play these stereo type games with Americans. You are Democratic...wear red.
You are a Republican.....wear blue. Globbly gook. Each is individual
is a American first, before painting on any color to a political plarty.
Our at least that is the way it should be......
OUr respect for freedom and freedom of individual speech, even lets guys like Rev. Wright and Louis Ferrecon do thier thing in the country. Heck if they lived in Russia......the Russians would be doing with them like they did with the Chess player and his group. Criticize the Russian gov't at your own risk is the message there. Here it is national pastime and that some have made living off (e.g. $2m 10000 square foot home with a $10m credit line for retirement).
So American are a group of individuals. When Dude come into the
blog does a paint them all like a Bushnie routine...it really shows how little he knows of Americans. Or how badly he wants them all to think positively to Obama and wear red in November.
You need a new pastime, Dude....or some new source material. Stereo typing is not a nice thing to do. Many here take offense at it. That is my 2 cents.....when do I get my quarter?
