StillOfTheNight: I never did understand the anti American attitude. American people is NOT responsible for the actions of the government American people are NOT bad people.

I like Americans, I have never seen anything in anyone from America that would tell me that Americans are bad in any way.


We very much appreciate your observation of Americans. thumbs up

But, I would definitely suggest that we got what we bargained for.
Many Americans have been raised in a sheltered ignorant and prejudice environment and elected Gov officials to represent their twisted micro-cozm view of what we should live by. Our Southern Bible-belt and Eastern Ultra Conservatives have systematically destroyed this country over the past few decades. I have experienced the "Ugly American" in many of my travels thoughout the world.
But, It's a beautiful thing that people like you recognize we're all not like that . beer thumbs up

jvaski: Ttom,
the Tea Party is a group is "extremists" who enjoy grandstanding for ultra rightious principles that don't work for anything other than sensationalizing politics.
Even they don't believe in half the crap they come up with .....


26m people are not extremist Juan. If you have 26m extremist people of left or right leaning in this country of 308m, you would have what is happening in the Arab Spring country of this summer. Only in the US.

The Tea Party 1m man Honor America Washington by Beck was not a extremist display. No riots occurred. No cross were burned on the White House front lawn. Washington was able to function.

While those protest in Cairo shut the government down and they were directed at the government to fail it.

But there are certainly some bad people in America, you just haven't seen them.

In my opinion most of the people in any country are pretty decent folk.

But it's fairly common for a bad greedy minority to rise to power. (some things float y'know).

I just threw another ten grand into the market on Friday. Hope the greedy CEOs of the companies I invested in continue to be greedy so they maximize profits.

Hey, even poor people can do the same providing they are willing to set aside some of their hard earned cash or, work twelve to sixteen hours a day like I do so they can have enough of it to do the same.

As for the free healthcare it is brought to you by the same people that bring you free invasions in Iraq, free Wars on Terror and goods free of taxation.

Message being - look after yourself. Nobody is doing it for you - or should.professor

Ciao Antjo wave




"Since Reagan, Republicans have been on a “starve the beast” campaign – by which they mean eviscerate the government by taking away as much revenue as they can.

So, after starting with a surplus in 2000, Republicans used two wars, two rounds of tax cuts, and a giant giveaway to big Pharma, to get the country racking up debt like a drunken sailor.

Along comes the Bush recession, and the debt accelerates, and the Republicans declare the debt to be an “emergency” and right on schedule immediately attack popular programs like Medicare, Medicaid, Social Security, Student loans –and virtually anything that doesn’t help the uber rich or the corporations suddenly must be cut if we are to stay solvent.

Never mind that cutting Social Security to balance the budget is like attacking the mailman because your car doesn’t work. It has nothing to do with the budget – but again, that’s a mere fact. When you’re drowning the beast, facts don’t matter."
