it isn't the constitution

it isn't the politicians

it isn't the army

it isn't the navy

it isn't the air force

it isn't the reserves

it isn't the national guard

it isn't the Hollywood crowd

what makes America great is the people.

this is what i mean. On 9/11 when those towers came down NYC lost the chief fireman.
there were thousands of people down there helping out. and i bet you non of them were asking anyone what the skin color was, or where they were from. i would also bet that there were a few bigots down there helping also at that point not caring about race, color or national origin.

Hitler was a vegetarian, and a painter. At one point in his life, he had not killed millions of people. He's not that bad of a guy, once you forget the mass-murder.

The last bloke in Europe to go around shouting how great his country was and how it was a civilisation above all others shot himself in the head in 1945.

But it was a kinder, gentler Hitler comparison.

Gotta love Godwin's Law. And it applies here on JU quicker than almost anywhere else - people seem wont to throw Nazis about like water balloons . . .

Spare a thought for the millions of all nations, colours, religions etc who sacrificed themselves in the downfall of this individual so we can think and speak as free men (and women).

Oh, and there is a subtle difference between being a nationalist and nationalism

You may have lost your target audience . . but you've brought us something to think about, a (almost) flame war, and some humor.

Not a bad bit of work.

along with every other person wearing the uniform of any branch of the US military - active


the people in uniform are in the same class as those volunteers on 9/11

because they have also volunteered to give their lives if necessary
