    True, but I think we can also assume that some of those people are just saying stuff they know will get a rise out of people as well, whether they feel that way or not. That doesn't necessarily make things better, it just points to a whole different brand of stupidity.

    Yeah dude for sure,

    My thoughts exactly.

    I have never been embarassed to be a citizen of the United States of America; not when I sat my fat ass in my living room and drank beers; not when I spent six months on a NATO mission to stop religious genocide in Bosnia, not when I spent 2 years in Stuttgart teaching young Marines to not be killed by IED's. I thought the idea was that we take every voice, that we welcome differing points of view. Does the U.S. of A. get everything right? Absolutetly not. I will hit my knees tonight and thank someone that I don't live in Tripoli.
