The United States of America is damn incredible. Every size, shape and idea you can think of.
We ALL have our good points.
We've got a lot of work to do, to live up to our own expectations, and those of the world.
Surely we can find a few things to agree on?
C'mon folks, show me the diversity of my country.

From reading around here you'd think we were all flaming homosexual pinko socialists or racist one toothed hillbillies.
But it's not like that at all!!
The internet has turned us into screaming as#@&%es.....

My only issue with this thread is that you chose marines instead of soldiers for the opening shot.
Did you say soldiers?

Was out with my Bosnian friend Sat. He's lived in France and England but from the lips of a man who just voted in his first Presidential election :
"America's the best!"

An observation: We have two Chinese students staying with us this semester while going to a local high school. Due to the one child policy back home, they have 4 grandparents, 2 parents and 0 siblings, aunts, uncles or cousins. I can't imagine what that must be like.

Thanks survival, you are an idealist......something we now find in short supply.
The vehemence of right wing radio hosts and the tea party fanatics is encouraging.....it signifys the rage and pain of the growing realization they have that they are on the wrong side of history.
