Naaaa, I stand in there with the BEEF!

That's not the point BEEF.
Jokes like these do nothing more than help to perpetrate the divide that is already destroying America.
I'm a Democrat and I feel that Democrats need to stop the Bush jokes also.
It's not a joking matter.
America Sucks right now, and we need to get back to where we were before all the Clinton haters started bashing him.
It's a cycle that need to be broken! Now!

America Sucks? Man, look around at how blessed you are. I don't know you; however, I venture to guess, you get to eat hot meals every day, you have a warm place to sleep at night. I am not wanting to argue with you, just want to point out how blessed we all are.

You need not remind me how blessed we are in America.
I am a Decorated Veteran of the United States Navy and served my country in the first Gulf War.
I do know how blessed I am.
What worries me is wether You realize it or not the things that make America great are not going to last if we keep heading in the direction we have been.
As Earl Pitts would say:
WAKE UP AMERICA!!!!!:mad:

Oh and BTW, My friends and family have died to protect the very freedoms that you enjoy.
So the next time you want to give advice or offer wisdom. Try someone else, I'm not interested.
If you want to debate real issues I welcome that debate with baited breath.
