    Default The United States

    Not "America." We don't hear Germany calling itself "Deutschland auf Europa." We don't hear Mexico calling itself, "Mexico de America." We don't hear China calling itself "The People's Republic of China of Asia." So stop the madness. The country's name is "The United States." Not "Amerricuh." Not "America." Not "merricuh." THE UNITED STATES. Write your congress men and women.

    "A nation can survive its fools, and even the ambitious. But it cannot survive treason from within. An enemy at the gates is less formidable, for he is known and carries his banner openly. But the traitor moves amongst those within the gate freely, his sly whispers rustling through all the alleys, heard in the very halls of government itself."
    Tullius Cicero (106-43 BC)

    I have always refered to this country as America, and I likely always will. If another country worth a damn suddenly appears on either American continent, I may consider changing that. Until then, insisting that America should not be called America is Hispandering, and I'll no longer go along with it than I will 'undocumented workers.'

    Then read the Aricles of Confederation adopted by the Second Continental Congress on 15 November 1777....the name of this nation is The United States of America.

    If you go to another country what do they call you? American.

    Mexicans call us Americans, Canadians call us American. And that's a lot easier than calling us United Statezers.
    When I die I'm sure to go to heaven, cause I spent my time in hell.

    You get more with a kind word and a two by four, than you do with just a kind word.

    Now this is just the dumbest thing I've read in the last century.

    Who gives a hairy rats ass what other countries call themselves .........Oooops!! Forgot, the LIBS DO. It's "scandalous" to have national pride........we must level bring ourselves down (Hilary humility) to the level of the remainder of the world and quit calling ourselves "Americans" for criminy sakes!

    Haggie .... you never let me down when it comes to proving liberals are stuck in a "group think" mindset.
    If the freedom of speech is taken away
    then dumb and silent we may be led,
    like sheep to the slaughter.


    George Washington (1732-1799) First President of the USA.
