    America was founded by liberals, as you know, so it certainly isn't your country - it belongs to the big slave-holders who would never have let the likes of you vote even if they had let you settle. If you want to go back to that date, face facts. If you want to live in the modern world, get out and meet some people, read a book, lean where other continents are, stuff like that.

    The UK flag is the unionist one, on which my Country is not represented. We will not be in the Union much longer, fortunately, so it doesn't matter.

    Only birddogs, on toast. It's what our holy fathers call a penance, mind you.

    I see you have no way of debating the point. Just deflection and ad hominem.

    Ever notice how many replies you get from the Left every time Fox News is brought up? When it comes to real important topics, you have to fight to get input from people. This is only because the Left is constantly bad mouthing Fox, and their followers tag right along.

    While I admit Fox leans Right, we wouldn't learn half of what we do it we depended on those Left leaning stations to tell us the truth. I mean do you think the Left is going to tell you that it was the Democrats that made the biggest tax cut in history, during war time? Hell no. But they have no problem telling you Bush cut taxes 5% during a war. Less than half of what Johnson cut them and then he also started the war on poverty, a multi billion dollar program.

    Do you think the Left is going to tell you that both sides had a hand in bringing this economy down? Heck no, they continue to lie and say it was all Bush's fault. That the Left had nothing to do with it. How could we ever expect to hear the truth without Fox to bring out both sides? Or at least the other side.

    Take the blinders off. The amount of election fraud found from the last three years on the left should be sending chills down your back. The fact that Obama and Holder are selectively ending prosecutions of blacks because they are black should have the same effect.
    The fact that the OWS protesters went to private homes and completely skipped George Soros home(a convicted inside trader) to go to the home of an industrialist who doesn't have a thing to do with wall street should wake you up to who is brainwashed here.
    This pathetic attempt at painting us as sheep is absurd.
    Take a look in a mirror.

    You need to get a clue. Fox is counterbalance. And much more balanced than anything else out there. I'll bet you watch a constant diet of PBS and listen to NPR.

    Fox is a counter balance. We would never hear the other side if it weren't for Fox. Just as I pointed out a few posts ago.

    I won't be taking advice about my politics from somebody that bows to their "betters". Recognising some person as sovereign over another is recognition of enslavement. You have no real perspective of real freedom from which to judge.
    Stockholm syndrome ring any bells?

    America belongs to the "big slave-holders?"

    You are certainly colorful if not well informed.

    But it's really pointless to argue about what MY country is or isn't with some foreigner in NowWhere Land who couldn't possibly know.

    This is where the true arrogance of some narrow minded "patriots" clearly shows!

    Many "foreigners" know a lot more about this country than WE think we know about the rest of the world, simply because they tend to travel more, they are more open to learning about other cultures, and they are not as limite as we are by their self-annointed "exceptionalism" illusion!

    It seems that you may be projecting your own ignorance of other countries on others.

    And you seem to be projecting a level of blind faith in someone just because they are foreigners.

    Actually, my comment comes from having experienced living for several years in several different countries, and having travelled in many more countries.

    It also comes from reading and listening to MANY media sources, both in the US and abroad.

    It is soooo easy if one is addicted to Fox News and/or Limbaugh to lose track of reality!

    Well in that case I would not dream of disagreeing with an expert like you.

    If you say all foreigners are better informed than we are I suppose I'll just have to accept it as fact.

    Did i say "ALL foreigners?" NO!

    I believe that, based on the OP, was addressing the "Fox news" crowd.

    another attempt to spin feom a Fox News addict!:bored:

    How about Iolo?

    Since you responded to a post directed his way do you include him in the group of all-seeing, all-knowing foreigners who have such a low opinion of this country?

    Who tells you what to think but your media? Who owns your media? Your masters own your media. The terrible sameness of right-wing American opinion is like that of Mediaeval peasants, and has the same causes in desperate fear of masters who own power. The facts that your wages are falling and that social mobility has stopped are also relevant to your depressing subjection.

    Im not impressed with any of the blondes. HOWEVER....who is the brunette in that bottom picture??

    I kinda think the hottest female newscaster is the black woman with the british accent on either CNN or MSNBC. I am drawing a blank right now (wife had me up all night for black friday so im mentally worn out lol) but I think she is beautiful.

    for some reason Dana Perino seems to do it for me. She certainly isn't all that but just something about her rings the bell

    Kimberly Guilfoyle and Nicole Petallides.

    And I know, two at once is kinky.

    But they are both pretty hot.
