    What lands have we seized lately?
    How can you possibly disagree? You really don't think the US has worked to build an empire since it's inception?

    American Territories: Puerto Rico, Northern Mariana Islands, US Virgin Islands, American Samoa, Guam

    If you want to ignore these territories, we can always focus attention on our constant military presence all over the world. Only an empire does this.

    Wow, a bunch of little islands from WWII. Definitely the equal of eastern Europe, uh huh!

    Could you list those who want to be "free" of the U.S.?

    Ok. My bad. I was referring to US territories. The only one is Hawaii, officially, that became a state most recently. But it looks like Puerto Rico could very well become a state, although it currently has a 13% unemployment rate.

    Can't argue with the basic premise of my post, can you.

    In other words, you can't really come up with any land grabs of substance that even remotely resemble or equal the land grabs of real empires.

    You should know by now that when you go into Chris Matthews mode here, you're going to get called on it.

    So you deny that America is an empire through it's strength and military dominance. Is there any other country that is even close to us in Military strength and presence? Think hard now.

    Good luck tonight America. You deserve better than what you've been forced to suffer of late.
    It never occurs to you that many have moved on or are in the process of moving on . You bunch of morons have been given four years in the slammer . What is there left to say to people who do not listen and seem incapable of learning .
    This site is bearable -- as you term it ---because the remaining inmates are essentially tarred with the same brush and have been found wanting and now are redundant to the future . You are seen as a comic bunch of people completely out of touch with reality and a bunch of old extremists who are ----------
    Figures of fun .

    What is there to be gained from further prolonged interaction ? You will be slowly marginalised by your own inability to learn and adapt .
