She has always risen to every challenge and every attempt to destroy her and has prevailed. She has never taken the easy way out and has never shown cowardice.

Guest Fluffy the Cactus Posted May 18, 2005 Share Posted May 18, 2005 I have something positive to say about this nation. Food is plentiful. I mean, I hear about all this talk about overweight people in our nation, but compare that to what we hear in other countries: people die because they don't have enough food. Americans are dying because we have too much! ??? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We have so many opportunities and it is a shame when alot of Americans waste it! We all could go and live in some 3rd world country and learn to appreciate what we have here!

And yet there are those who live here and claim how bad it is, then how come you don't hear of an American trying to enter into, oh say Syria, by climbing up into the rear-end of a camel and entering into that country illegally because it is so much better there? America, land of opportunity. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, I love America, my love of country and dedication to her is second only to my love and dedication to God. What other nation put forward to the world : "Bring me your tired, your poor, your huddled masses yearning to breathe free ....... " ... and we meant it. This nation exports so much more than grain or cars or any other consumer item .... we export hope, freedom and dignity to the entire world. No other nation comes close or even tries to give to the world what we freely give. God Bles America .... "One Nation Under God" I remain always faithful .................. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> USN friend, I have that poem in my Leatherneck Magazine! I love it! I could read it over and over again! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nothing against Croatians, but dad and his siblings never went back. He along with 3 of his 4 brothers fought in WW2. They all loved America and made sure that their kids were "American". Not "Croation/ American". I love Croatians but I'm not one. I owe God and my country for the good things that I have experienced in life. I really get livid when I hear people who have been blessed to live in America diss it. I get a bit tired of hearing people from other countrys who have graveyards full of American Soldiers who fought for their liberation, diss America. I don't care what anybody says, I know for a fact that if you were to take America out of the picture, the world would be in FAR FAR more turmoil than it is now. I don't see this as a put down to any other countries. Its just that America seems to be the one that everyone likes to bad mouth and I for one have reached the point where I'm not just gonna sit back and let it go unanswered. Thankyou for your posts. I love patriots!(not New England) Dan(Texans Fan) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
