Are you a patriot?

[Ethereal]

Based on what? His interest in curtailing our unnecessary military activities and playing world police while we really can't even get our domestic $#@! together? Because if it's that or his belief that we should actually follow the Constitution then I AM in that category. You have simply badly misnamed the category.

Based on his inability to argue fact, evidence, and logic.

Childish name-calling is the last (and often first) resort of someone who has nothing intelligent to say.

"Anti-American" and such labels are a refuge for intellectually shallow cowards.

And probably the most obnoxious thing about people who incessantly accuse other members of being "anti-American" is the conceit that they are somehow the arbiters of what it means to be American. They honestly believe that they and they alone represent and speak for America. Clearly, they are suffering from a severe form of narcissism.

Don't we all "suffer" from narcissism? Are you, alone, immune?

No. Narcissism is abnormal.

It's not for me to say.

This poll sucks. Why isn't it public?

Millions of other Americans did not voluntarily serve in the Marine infantry during a time of war.

Anyway, I did not say my service made me right. I said my service should be an indication of patriotism. I was pretty clear about that, yet you still managed to misinterpret my post, something you do quite frequently.

I have never called you anti american, or unpatriotic, I just dont believe you are the last word on anything and your opinion isnt worth a plug nickel more than any one elses.

I have never called you anti american, or unpatriotic...

I never said you did.

...I just dont believe you are the last word on anything...

I never said I was.

...and your opinion isnt worth a plug nickel more than any one elses.

I never said it was.

So, why are you arguing against things that I never said? Just to be argumentative?

I was never a Russian.

I will never become American.

[zachroidott]

I was never a Russian.

I will never become American.

You've been here since 1983?
Do you live at Laguardia?

[Mister D]

I was never a Russian.

I will never become American.

Yeah, that has been one of the reasons you've hated for so long.
