Anti-Americanism.
I received this e-mail today. I'm not a religious person but, in context, it makes sense to me:

In case we find ourselves starting to believe all the anti-American
sentiment and negativity, we should remember England 's Prime Minister Tony
Blair's words during a recent interview. When asked by one of his Parliament
members why he believes so much in America , he said:

"A simple way to take measure of a country is to look at how many want
in... And how many want out."

Only two defining forces have ever offered to
die for you:

1. Jesus Christ
2. The American G. I.

One died for your soul, the other for your freedom.

My sincerest thank you's to those who have fought and are currently fighting for our freedom!

Those who don't believe can go and find out just how great the other side is. They will be unpleasantly surprised at how bad they will have it.

This brings to mind the election when all those famous people swore they would leave the country if Bush was elected, did any of them actually leave and not come back? I don't think so. It's amazing how anti-america some americans are. It saddens me.

p.s. I didn't bring up Bush to start a debate about whether he is a good president or not...

The fact that you need to say that says everything that needs to be said. And that's all I have to say about that...

No need. He did say what's in quotes.
On the original e-mail I received, it was formated in a way that made it look as if he said the rest of it also.
I checked snopes.com and saw what he really said so I added the quotes.

Both left and right wingers over here have started calling him Tony B Liar. Well past his sell by date, time to get off the throne.

(Finding a half decent successor might prove tricky, though)

That would be the RUB right there. We want him replaced but can find anyone that can do a better job.



Much as I'm not impressed with Bush I'm real happy Kerrys dumb ass is not in office. A "better" choice would have been nice.
