I obviously don't mean all americans, but the feeling of antagonism toward anything not american is on the up in America today. This is not the america I have known for years before I moved out in 2000.

Only since last year have I heard of soccer-haters, un-american, 'we don't care what the world says' in America. This is not to say Americans should't be proud to say they are Americans, but many are showing this pride in how different they are and better than non-Americans. Seems nothing is wrong with that, but not so to me if you accept the special place of America in the world - as a leader, land of hope and love.

Do you have a feeling some people are about fanning the flames of nationalism (may be 'nationalcentricism' if the word exists) in America? Nationalcentricism is a clear sign a country has lost a bit, if not more, of what used to make it great.

I don't know but I knew a different America.

How many men & women of the military really thought that they would have to kill someone in the fight for America's rights??
My father, a Proud Marine, fought in the Vietnam War. He never really talked about it but when he did, he said that he remembers killing one person in particular and that was to save his life & the lifes of two wonderful men. One which lost both of his legs because he stepped on a land mine. He begged my father & the other man to leave him and save their own lives but my father refused and so did his companion. All 3 made it back to the campsite and the one that lost his legs, died a few days later.
God Bless America!!!!!!!

If we drop corporate and personal funding of political parties, and transferred that to tax funded, we will make all contributions equal. For example, if the 1 dollar you can give (or not give) to campaign finance every year was raised to 10 dollars, and it was automatically given to the fund, there would be enough to pay for all parties to run and finance their campaign. What would this mean to you? You'd be charged 20 cents more a Week in taxes, and Big business's and rich people could not buy influence with campaign contributions. Is this a huge change in your pocket? not at all. Could this affect the outcome and principles of campaigns and politics? Absolutely. This would take big business out of politics, other than lobbying, which would also need to be reviewed. Copy this question and post it again, and again, let's get this going. I will be starting a chain letter to get the word out as well, email me at Colvindesign@hotmail if you want to get it.

Is it a criminal act to use fake or stolen ID and SS#s in the US? Is it a crime to commit identity theft? Is it a crime to enter a place under false pretenses or just to break in uninvited or by not following the rules? Should people who have illegally come into our country and pose a threat to national security be allowed to stay? Is it a crime or racist to demand the enforcement of our laws on the criminals that violate the above laws that I mentioned?

Why is it that all we see and hear is people and groups like Cindy Sheehan protesting the war and the USA. Why don't these same people protest the terrorists and IED and the rape and murder of women and children or even the treatment of our own captured soldiers by these terrorists.

I'm not saying that we are perfect or that the military hasn't made mistakes. I'm just wondering why people haven't protested against people like Osama or Kim Jung and supported those that can't help themselves instead of those who are, for right or wrong, trying to help the downtrodden..

I am not saying not to protest or to exercise your right to. I am refering to the fact all we see is people protesting the USA and the military.I myself think that they should be just as passionate in their protests against the terrorists and the horrors they inflict.

It is just a plain fact that you never see or hear of them protesting the other side of things. It is always how bad we are in the USA.

Seriously. How has it made us more secure, or in a better dipomatic situation?

I do know that:
-- It has cost nearly 2,540 American lives.
-- It has cost $920 (and counting) for every American citizen -- man, woman and child.
-- It has alienated our allies.
-- It has galvanized our enemies.
-- Extreme clerics and Mullahs will us the ivasion of a Muslim nation as propoganda to get new terror recruits.
-- It has increased anti-American sentiment to unprecedented levels.
-- It has not caught the people responsible for 9/11.

But what has it done to make our nation better off? Sure Hussein was an eveil tyrant. Does that mean we ignore the UN and bomb every evil tyrant in the world?

Please, can a pro-war person tell me why we should have waged this war. Don't tell me it's because Hussein "broke resolutions." Breaking resolutions is not the basis for war. That's still a juncture where you use diplomacy.

In other countries there are no restrictions on selling alchool and people don't make a big deal about it and there are less Alchoolics than in the US. Do you think revoving the ristrictions will help solving the problem or it will make it worse?

Way, way back during the 1860s and 1870s, the US built something called a transcontinental railroad. This railroad was built mostly by Chinese immigrants from the west and Irish immigrants from the east. For the most part, they didn't bring huge families, expect free healthcare or education, wave their national flags, and whine like little bitches. I'd pick tomatoes a hundred times over compared to laying railroad track through the Sierra Nevadas.

Come to think of it, when the Irish had their little potato famine in the 1840s, alot of them moved to the US. They had to come through an immigration facility called Ellis Island, where they were herded like cattle, poked and prodded, and could be sent back for various reasons. They worked hard at manual labor, eked out a living in slums, were called every name in the book, got no government support, and what happened? They toughed it out, grew a pair, worked hard and truly helped build the country.

And they did it legally.
