Why doesn't Barack Hussein Obama wear a flag (American) pin or salute the flag? Why does he not release his college records? Does Hussein Obama sympathize with the recent terrorist bombers the way he sympathizes with his friend Bill Ayers, himself a terrorist bomber? Inquiring minds want to know.

By the way, Joe McCarthy is a true American hero, unlike the Anointed One who thinks we have 57 states.

There was no reason. It could have been either.

I think this thread has shown that although some may think that America is no longer number one, it is way ahead of whoever is in number 2.

Here's surprise for you, Yoda. I'm rather fiercely loyal about my citizenship. You may not believe it, but words cannot express how I felt when my passport finally came in the mail after 20 years of trying.

I think I know what you're trying to demonstrate with this thread, given some of what's happened in another thread.

Make what you will of it, but there are several reasons that I'm here and stay here and it's not because of immigrant work policies of other countries - though I grant you that I entertained working in Canada (meaning I searched job listings up there) when I was out of work for a year and a half back in 2004.

I still don't think there is something that can be called "Number One" since the definition is, by it's very nature, subjective so different people will judge it differently.

That being said, I was born here, I'll most likely die here (since I don't travel more than a fraction of my time) and I'll will continue to vote in every election, attend as many town meetings as I can and keep hoping my voice, as well as others, are heard.
