what we all need to understand is America is not the braindead SOBs in DC, America is the people, such as you and I and the rest of this country, so when anti-American statements are aired like this, the world is not thinking of the goverment ...they are thinking of you and I...

Let me ask all of you this, if someone in your family does something really bad,,,,do you go out in the streets and tell everyone about it,,,,NO i would hope not, but you would take that person aside and make walk the right path, right???? so why can't we do the same for this country...do you see what i am saying...think about it.
Well A-1, not that you were suggesting that to me, but I did too think about it. And I do not see what you are saying. The government is too big, too powerful and too impersonal and unreacheable to "take aside"...the only way to confront it is to go public.

It is not that I wouldn't love to "take aside" the President and this administration, but you know, I can't get him to pick up the dadgum phone, let alone come over for my famous spinach pizza and a Sobe.

P.S. I respect your choice to change your sig. I feel much more at ease with you, Sir.
