We are the greatest nation on earth and help countlesss countries around the world economically and with military protection or help. We have absolutely nothing to apologize to the world for.

The United States of America was created to get away from the very thing we are now becoming, a heavily-taxed nanny state full of political correctness but no real social or economic sense. We are quickly burying ourselves in debt with absolutely nothing to show for it and one day we'll wake up and wonder why we, like most of Europe, have 60% tax and $9/gallon gas. The answer isn't to drive 400# shitbox cars, the answer is to quit bowing down to the socialist environmentalist whackjobs and let good old money decide what the American public wants to drive.

Our government is there to protect us from foreign enemies, not to run every aspect of your lives. Those of you that think you've somehow protected your country by sitting behind your computer screen need to wake up and smell reality. It's easy to sit and complain, it's something altogether different to actually do something for your country.

Quote of the month right there. Best thing I've heard come out of these political arguments in quite a while here.
