your "question," how did America become a superpower? By having the money, by having the will, and by having the determination.

Then he said to me 'That's a very American Attitude'
Can someone please explain to me where this guy even gets off telling me that?

Re: The comparison of Nazi Germany with the US.
What evidence can you present that would indicate even slightly that the US is comparable to Nazi Germany?
My biases are irrelevant.
Where are the facts, Devil?

Bush's Amerika is a cancer on the planet. I hope someone finds the cure fast, even if that means getting rid of us all.

1) Destroying America, and
2) Destroying the world if that's what it takes, and
3) Allows for no alternative course of action.
Do you even read what you post? What kind of logic leads to a statement like this?
Your declared position allows for no provision for negotiation or reasoning with you, so I won't bother trying. Just remember that you are the one who has decided to be our enemy.
The irony in this is that your apocalyptic fantasy is probably going to be played out sooner than either of us may expect.

I'm not amerika's enemy. I'm a disenfranchised voter. Amerika is its own worst enemy, and it seems everyone but the 59 million who voted for Bush can see that.

May you choose a more constructive path than the one you have outlined here

ok and what happens when that constructive path we follow is only attainable through cooperation and agreement with the forces we wish to reject.

This is not so much a rant than what I have read and seen since the election. I believe all politics aside, Americans in a whole will always unite in a time of need. We all have an outstanding amount of giving that most of the world does not see as well as our right to defend. We are a mixture of races, religions, sexual genders that all have one unique trait. We will always stand up, work together and fight for this country we love.
9/11 proved something, the rest of the world was not prepared for. We all united to help and support one another when times were bad. Most were hoping that this would divide us Religiously, ethnically but it did not. The world saw a country of 1 "that is of one people" which made them hate us even more. Now the world see's us as a nation standing alone, attempting to solve the worlds issues without any support. Is this true or do they not understand thier people have spoken and have taken action while finding refuge within the United States, they have come here to be free and become citizens, with this in mind, remeber we are not alone, the world has spoken by the many of thousands who find safety and serenity within our country. We will never be alone as long as we keep faith in the "American attitude.......

Just a short story for you guys.
I was eating in a diner with my friend from Spain. He invited one his friends from England to eat with us. We get our meals, find a table and begin to eat. I picked up my plastic fork and was about to shove a forkfull of peas into my mouth when the guy said 'Why are you using a plastic fork? You should use a metal one.' Of course i'm thinking to myself, who is this guy so I responded back with 'Why?'. Then he goes on to tell me how plastic forks hurt the environment and that if I want to help the enviornment, I should use a metal fork because they are re-usable and cause less waste. I look at him, look at my fork, look at him again and said 'It's a fork, there are hundreds of plasticforks in the silverware area. I chose a plastic fork, because that's what I'm used to. One fork is not going to hurt the enviornment. It can be recycled anyways.' The he tells me that if there is no demand for plastic forks, then they won't be made. Wtf. The last thing I said to the guy was 'Look, the fork is already made, it's there in a huge box for people to pick from. There is no demand. It's an option. A plastic fork isnt going to save the enviornment. People are being beheaded, women raped, soldiers being killed, and you want to save the enviornment by banning plastic forks?'
Then he said to me 'That's a very American Attitude'
Can someone please explain to me where this guy even gets off telling me that?
