Title: AM I A BAD AMERICAN?
Post by: flo on August 19, 2008, 07:49:47 AM
I Am the Liberal-Progressives' Worst Nightmare. I am an American.

I am a Master Mason and believe in God.

I ride Harley Davidson Motorcycles

and believe in American products. 
                       I believe the money I make belongs to me and my family, not some Liberal governmental functionary be it Democrat or Republican!

I'm in touch with my feelings and I like it that way!


I think owning a gun doesn't make one a killer; it makes him a smart American.

           I think being a minority does not make you noble or victimized, and does not entitle you to anything. Get over it!


                      I believe that if you are selling me a Big Mac, do it in English.


I believe everyone has a right to pray to his or her God when and where he or she want to.


My heroes are John Wayne, Babe Ruth, Roy Rogers, and

Willie G. Davidson, who makes the Awesome Harley Davidson Motorcycles.

I don't hate the rich. I don't pity the poor.

                 I know wrestling is fake and I don't waste my time watching or arguing about it.

I've never owned a slave nor been a slave. I haven't burned any witches nor been persecuted by the Turks and neither have you! So, shut up already.

I believe if you don't like the way things are here, go back to where you came from and change your own country! This is  AMERICA ..

We Americans like it the way it is!

If you were born here and don't like it you are free to move to any Socialist country that will have you.

I want to know which church it is exactly where the Reverend Jesse Jackson preaches, where he gets his money, and why he is always part of the problem and not the solution.

Can I get an AMEN on that one?

I also think the cops have the right to pull you over if you're breaking the law, regardless of what color you are.

And, no, I don't mind having my face shown on my driver's license.

I think it's good..... And I'm proud that 'God' is written on my money.

I think if you are too stupid to know how a ballot works, I don't want you deciding who should be running the most powerful nation in the world for the next four years.

I believe the president of the United States should put his hand over his heart and say the pledge of allegiance and should have no reservations about wearing American flag pins on his lapel.

I dislike those people standing in the intersections trying to sell me stuff or trying to guilt me into making 'donations' to their cause. Get a Job and do your part!

I believe that it doesn't take a village to raise a child, it takes two parents.

I believe 'illegal' is illegal no matter what the lawyers think.

I believe the American flag should be the only one allowed in  AMERICA !

If this makes me a BAD American, then yes, I'm a BAD American.

     We want our country back!


We NEED GOD BACK IN OUR COUNTRY!

Florene, that is awesome, I love it, it says it all. I could say some more but I don't want to take away from how much I like what it says, and how much it is what our forefathers wanted America to be. Hopefully everyone will read that one twice.

Got this from one of my buddies I served with a few years back.   Said he really identified with this email.

yes, Warph, I like this.  I liked it so well that I posted it on Aug. 19, when I first received it.

WARPH, I hope there are enough of us "Bad Americans" that vote and let is keep these freedoms. This election worries me more than any I have ever witnessed.

I agree with most of it, but not all. I should be able to fly my Delaware flag whenever I want to. Why does anyone get picked on for not wearing a flag on his lapel?  John McCain doesn't always. I say " so what!". I refuse to choose a president based on something that seems so trivial. If we keep every penny we earn and there are no taxes, we'll have to go back to private roads like we had here in colonial times They weren't called "turnpikes" for nothing. Every few miles you had to stop and pay a toll, same with bridges and ferries. They were privately owned and totally unregulated. I'd have to eat only what I grew myself. I'd never dare eat anything from anywhere else because it might be contaminated. Education would be only for those who could afford it. I would not have to pay any school taxes. Fire companies would fail because they couldn't make it on their own. No low cost public housing would ever have been built. Not everyone wants to give up their independence and be forced to live with family, nor do all families want to take them in.  No more subsidies for anybody for anything ever.
   My point is, it's often more complicated than it seems. Many of you feel that with gun control only criminals will have guns.  With out some taxes and social programs, only the very rich will have any of the money. Abject poverty will abound. And no, I still haven't made up my mind about who I will vote for. Joe Biden doesn't have that much influence on me. I like the man as a person. He is a very open, friendly fellow, but I also know ALL his political warts too. I don't always agree with his policies and he is definitely a politician!

Diane, the reference to the flag is due to people flying the Mexican Flag and in some cases other flags, it has nothing to do with people wanting to fly their state flag. The reference to people wearing the Flag Lapel Pin comes from ABC ordering their people not to wear Flag Lapel Pins, in that case I would say that people were being picked on for wearing a Flag Lapel Pin.  I think you are overreading some of the items, I don't mind paying taxes I just don't want to be taxed unfairly which is exactly what the Democrats are proposing. Certainly everything on the list is debatable to some.
