So they were ultimately responsible for almost wiping out the indigenous people and making america the world wide hated country it is today.


shagbat,

I don't think somebody from London, part of the British Empire that wanted to rule the entire globe, should be throwing stones at America.

You are correct though that we seem to be the most hated country on earth. I wonder if it is because we have helped many other countries in times of war (yours included). I wonder if it is because when there is a catastrophe in some part of the world it is America who sends money, or supplies or people to help. No other country on the planet can match us for our assistance to other nations in need. If Afghanistan or Iran suffered some terrible natural disaster tomorrow we would offer to help in some way.

Truth be known the hatred of America stems from envy. We are a blessed nation and the envy of the globe and that's why we're hated.

Specious arguement. The early immigrants assimilated into US culture. They did not come here with open hands but looked to work, learn the language and fight for what they believed is the greatest country in the world. My mother spoke no English when she got into elementary school, but she quickly learned by being immersed into the language. No English as a Second Language teacher, no special accomodations, nothing. Just hard work and determination.

Ask your self if the country was better then, with immigrants working hard, disciplining their children, esposing the virtue of education and the Ameican dream of becoming successful and contributing to society, versus today's immigrant who demands that their culture be accomodated by the state, demands welfare, and has demonized the American dream.
I rest my case.

You raise the flag but have little respect for it!

We are a nation of immigrants and most did not speak english. In Wisconsin we taught school in German, in NYC we taught school in a variety of languages including Yiddish, Italian, German, Polish, etc,

I suggest you read the following and reflect on your narrow views of our great country!

The New Colossus

Not like the brazen giant of Greek fame,

With conquering limbs astride from land to land;

Here at our sea-washed, sunset gates shall stand

A mighty woman with a torch, whose flame

Is the imprisoned lightning, and her name

Mother of Exiles. From her beacon-hand

Glows world-wide welcome; her mild eyes command

The air-bridged harbor that twin cities frame.

"Keep ancient lands, your storied pomp!" cries she

With silent lips. "Give me your tired, your poor,

Your huddled masses yearning to breathe free,

The wretched refuse of your teeming shore.

Send these, the homeless, tempest-tost to me,

I lift my lamp beside the golden door!"

Emma Lazarus poem at the foot of the Statue of Liberty.

I don't think America is hated because of its good deeds , but rather the way you always get your pound of flesh . After all any help you gave us had to be paid back with interest and it is only in the last few years that we were finally able to pay back the crippling loans you gave us in WW2.

Ambrose, false or the truth this is one you should read. It makes damn good sense as written, if only our Government had the nerve to adopt these feelings before it's to late.

:thumbup: I don't doubt the substance of the message is ok - I just find it highly annoying when someone proudly proclaims they are posting things without checking into them first.

Vladimir Putin's SHORTEST SPEECH

This is one time our elected leaders should pay attention to the advice of Vladimir Putin.... How scary is that?

On August 04, 2013, Vladimir Putin, the Russian president, addressed the Duma, (Russian Parliament), and gave a speech about the tensions with minorities in Russia :

"In Russia live like Russians. Any minority, from anywhere, if it wants to live in Russia , to work and eat in Russia , should speak Russian, and should respect the Russian laws. If they prefer Sharia Law, and live the life of Muslim's then we advise them to go to those places where that's the state law. Russia does not need Muslim minorities. Minorities need Russia , and we will not grant them special privileges, or try to change our laws to fit their desires, no matter how loud they yell 'discrimination'. We will not tolerate disrespect of our Russian culture. We had better learn from the suicides of America , England , Holland and France , if we are to survive as a nation. The Muslims are taking over those countries and they will not take over Russia .. The Russian customs and traditions are not compatible with the lack of culture or the primitive ways of Sharia Law and Muslims. When this honorable legislative body thinks of creating new laws, it should have in mind the Russian national interest first, observing that the Muslims Minorities Are Not Russians.

The politicians in the Duma gave Putin a five minute standing ovation.


If you keep this to yourself, you are part of the problem!

It is a sad day when a Communist makes more sense than our President Barack Hussein Obama........ but here it is!!!!

I have visited there and it isn't pretty, but his point is well taken. Move anywhere in the world. You assimilate into their society, not the other way around.

Interestingly Americans seem to have, in turn been scared by infiltration of the Irish, the Italians, the Jews, the Blacks, the Latinos and now the Muslims. I wonder who next will become the fall guys. It seems only the Pilgrim Fathers managed to infiltrate the country without creating mindless fear.


None of the other peoples coming to America came with the idea of changing the U.S.A. to their way of thinking. None came with making the place where they live (including governing laws) change to suit their religious way of life. Also, none of the above kept their women as non-entities and almost slaves - as do many,many of the Muslims.
Therefore, whether or not Putin or some other clown made the statement, I agree with the basic content.
