#1 I don't care if America is or is not loved by other countries. If they do, fine. If not, fine. What I do expect is for other countries to piss their pants when we frown at them and flee in terror when we raise a fist.

I really think that to put the world in the proper mood, we need to lay a serious beat down on Iran or Syria. Pick one of them and totally destroy the country until you might manage to find a single rock that just happened to land on another when the last MOAB goes off.

#3 fine. No problem if we cut off all immigration then: legal and illegal? If nobody wants to come here(assume it's because it's too busy - paraphrasing Yogi Berra),then it shouldn't be a problem, no?

#4 Gotta agree with Frank. If you don't like America, you have no business being here.

#5 It's telling that others love to take these polls and trumpet the results. We all know that polling is easily manipulated, etc., but what gets me is the projection. They're worried and hung up about the opinions of others - So they presume we are, as well.

Wrong. Americans, at least those not on Kool Aid, are individualists. Why would we agree with this shit? If we thought we were wrong about how our society should be, we'd change it. We don't. We've got the best deal going - and only a toolfool would scrap it for the alternatives - all obviously failed and foolish. That they think we'll change because they want us to brings to mind the moronic alG attempt to interfere in our last Presidential election. They're idiots. Ineffectual, pathetic, and terminal.
