You know...this thread is pretty obnoxious. If i'm not mistaken, I thought we lived in the United States of America? Someone across the pond or across the border must be looking at this like we're a bunch of squabbling ninnies at the bingo hall pitching who's got the best grandkids. In the past here in America, when worse comes to worse we all pitch in and persevere no matter what the hurdle, foreign or domestic. Why is it after the dust settles, walls are built, fingers are pointed and the dirt under one own's feet is the only sacred piece of land in this country? I would like to invite those unpatriotic stooges to hop their miserable self-centered asses in their cars and drive across this great country we live in. I can guarantee it will be a grand awakening. Be it a old gas station on the corner of a corn field in Indiana, a winding road through the mountains of Colorado or just listening to the wind through the pines in Carolina, we have more here than a lot of other nations could even dream of....yet we'll close the door in our neighbors face because they live across the street. To those who think they have the only american flag flying on that pole in their front yard, do us all a favor and leave. This country was forged and fought for by men and women with no borders and I know there's good folks here that have been part of that. To those who segregate this country by a line on a map and a couple letters at the end of an address, please make it a point to quickly go down to your local tattoo parlor and brand "Jackass" somewhere where we all can see it, so we can be spared the misery of your state waving flag banter. I'm out........
