It hurts me to say this ...

We can only wish it caused you pain to blather on like you do.
Besides, skank-a-drank, it's never too late to renounce your US citizenship and STFU once and for all.

It hurts me to say this ...
... but I will say it nonetheless.

I moved to Canada in 1974, when my then-husband was offered a lucrative, career-advancing job. When we split-up three years later, I chose to stay here. Neither decision had anything to do with politics - in fact, I was rather apolitical at the time.

But I always took pride in the fact that I was an American. Over the years, I amassed a sizeable collection of American flag pins and brooches, which I always wore. I owned an over-sized American flag, which I displayed on my front porch on every US holiday. My place became known as 'the house with the flag' among neighbours and fast-food delivery people alike.

I always made it known that I was a US citizen, because I took pride in the place I came from and its people. I took pride in the fact that my country - for all its faults and mis-steps - was always striving to form "a more perfect union".

I was proud when my countrymen united after the attacks of 9/11. I was proud when my nation elected its first black president. I was proud when same-sex marriage became the law of the land.

But now my pride has turned to shame - shame that so many of my fellow citizens have chosen bigotry over inclusiveness, hatred over love of country, violence over the peaceful resolution of our differences.

I am ashamed of self-proclaimed "Christians" who have abandoned the teachings of Christ, of politicians who have abandoned their oaths of office, and of citizens who have abandoned every principle my country was founded upon.

Above all else, I am ashamed of my own gratitude that I live in a country that isn't the United States, but in a country where my lesbian daughter is safe, a country where school children are not gunned-down by assault-weapon-wielding murderers, a place where bigotry is not welcomed nor accepted, no less openly encouraged.

My giant American flag is safely packed away, along with my collection of "I'm a proud American" jewelry.

I hope for the day when I will not be ashamed to display them as proudly as I once did.


I'm not going to bring it all over, but it should be said that they are ALL ashamed to be American.
What a nasty pit of vipers, and they deserve one another

All those who hate America should go to Cuba,they have a wonderful tropical climate, free education, free medical care, great cigars, good rum, the only thing they are missing is free dum. :thatsright:

Those losers should live in some of the other countries for a while then they will know how good they have it.

In this country, we have seen censorship, pro-criminal policies, domestic terrorism, the draconian treatment of criminal defendants, unelected officials who think they're supposed to be running the country, dodgy elections (the results of which probably wouldn't be recognized by the US if they happened elsewhere), and most disturbingly, a number of Americans who ignore or even embrace all of the above. But I have never said I'm ashamed to be an American.

 :drunksailor: I doubt that Nance has even casual familiarity with "the teachings of Christ"

 :drunksailor: Nance has much less than casual familiarity with what Evangelical churches - the targets of her hatred - teach and do.

 :drunksailor: It has never "hurt" Nance to revile Evangelical Christians; it's Nance's meat and drink and drink and drink and drink ... and drink and .......

I was mildly surprised it's been that long. But she's probably been in the Canadian Club even longer, :rimshot: .

They puke out these traitorous "I hate America, it's an evil racist redneck nation" screeds every 4th of July.
Meanwhile, I'm having an awesome 4th with my girlfriend and her family. We watched the hot dog eating contest on ESPN 2 (I'd never seen it before), had a nice dinner, lit a couple small fireworks, and now we're about to watch the Capitol 4th tv special, then light some more fireworks, all the while I'm wearing my Captain America shirt and baseball cap.
Suck it, DUmmy traitors!

Did DU have to ban CT posts claiming Bush operatives demolished the Towers or Building 7?

They set up an entire forum for them to compare notes on how they did it.
