Visit a Military cemetary and view the headstones of those who died not as "bullies" but hero's.
I have no patience for those who run down the USA and disrespect the many who died so they could have the freedom to do what those in other corners of the world cannot do. Express freedom.
How can anyone call those young men who gave their lives for our freedom "bullies". It is a true disgrace to their memory.!!
I guess it is the "in" thing to do to run down America. It is not my "in" thing to do and hopefully never will. I am proud to be an American and make no apologies. I hope we never "bow" again to another country and stand proud for who and what we are..

I, personally, NEVER SAID that our young soldiers were the bullies. They just follow orders. Yes, indeed, they are hero's.
It's the general attitude of past administrations (not only Republican's, but most) and the extreme right, always calling for "let's attack" that I call bullies.
I am also proud to be an American, but I don't wear blinders. We strive for perfection, but we are not perfect. I, also, make no apologies for saying... We can be better and do better to heal the alliances so damaged by the previous administration. We had become a joke, and a bad joke at that.
I, personally, am proud that we FINALLY have a President that can string two sentences together, and bring hope, not just to us, but to the world in general. President Obama fully understands that we are not ALONE in the world. And without new and stronger alliances, we will surely go the way of other "fallen empires" that also thought they were the only game in town.
And I'll thank you to not twist my words in the future.
