and puh-lease on michelle’s statement. she’s only proud for the first time being an american cuz she’s SLEEPING with the damn president! also, what does being a proud american even HAVE to do with who is president or what politians do?
*im* proud of being american because we produce funny sh-t like jersey shore and hannah montana. has nothing to do with what turd is in the whitehouse at any given time. and yeah, they are all turds who really need to butt out of peoples’ lives.
Legion – In VA & NJ the dems were unpopular all on their own – it wasn’t a referendum on the party. And the point about the screw-up on the GOP tkt in NY speaks to precisely why I want to hold off on the bet – misguided people who vote by knee jerk are dangerous to all of us: vide, the idiots who keep saying get gov’t out of Medicare. I’m hoping that the far-right wackos will remain fringe. But let’s look at Stupak. The man’s son killed himself w/ his father’s gun & he continues to support the NRA. If pro-lifers espoused the values his constituents hold dear he’d be assassinated.

Arkady,
if it wasn’t a referendum on the party in New Jersey,
why did Corzine lose to a relative unknown in a solidly blue state.
one with two democratic senators to boot?
come on now. let’s not talk crazy.
quote:
“The fact remains that the ME is a place where young men in particular are completely disenfranchised and are frankly depressed and don’t have hope in this life, so they fall prey to these horrible terror leaders who convnice them they have nothing to gain by living here on this earth but they will have a better time in the afterlife after they blow up a few or many innocents, usually their own countrymen. It’s just so sad”
clearly it goes much deeper than that.. or I too would be a terrorist!
And by the way, my lack of pride in this country has nothing to do with a Republican or Democrat controlled government. Both parties have shown that they’ve got plenty of assholes among their ranks.
Her accomplishments were her own & all the more impressive for that – she had to overcome tremendous odds to get where she did. I think her statement is a lot more authentic than, for instance, Clarence Thomas’s denying that affirmative action had helped him. Having lived abroad (as an adult) during the Nixon years & cringing at perceptions of the US & going through it yet again during Bush years – only somewhat during Bush 1 but massively in Bush 2 – & having been appalled during the Reagan years, I am more proud to be an American than I have been for most of my adult life – I’ve lived longer than she has.

arkady,
that’s just it, most people are proud of their rise to greatness, they don’t see it as an entitlement at the expense of the nation that placed them there.
it’s ingratitude. plain and simple.
