[quote name='photopants']Wow! Just look all the hot and heavy debating going on over such a simple matter as respecting your own country. Do any of you really feel that the US is out to take over the world? Cmon you all live here and you know that no other place on earth sucks less than our USA. Give yourselves our government and our military a little credit for keeping the facts of evil history from our shores. Please study history before you ever take this nation for a bad one. We bend over backwards to please or apease but we also dont take much shit from anyone. Just exactly as you all do in your own lives. Go Bill! and Shame on SF[/QUOTE]
Just for the record, I liked Canada better. It's also more immigrant and civil rights friendly. Then there's the whole universal health care thing like much of the rest of the world has. Remember "america's health care system is second only to Japan, Canada, Sweden, Great Britain, well, all of Europe, but you can thank your lucky stars we don't live in Paraguay!". I love that line.
Though I really have no idea what that has to do with anything. You go on about the greatness of the u.s., so what? The fact that we don't want san francisco attacked means we're disrespecting the u.s.? Unless I'm missing something, advocating the targeting of u.s. cities isn't exactly the most patriotic or respectfull thing to do. That's what O'reilly did, he said San Francisco was an acceptable terrorist target since they did not want military recruiters taking away kids from their education. Military recruiters do sugar coat, omit and often outright lie, to get recruits. That's why many schools have anti recruiters (such as ex marines) to argue against the military recruiter and often correct the recruiter. .
The united states is supposed to be a bastian of free speach, civil rights, immigrants and the like. Through street protests, legislation and court battles those rights have been expanded to make America more consisten with tis ideals. The liberal areas, such as san francisco, boston, new york etc. are simply more concerned with the values of the u.s. than a piece of cloth. Those values have been promoted by liberal ideology, not the like of o'reilly.
