 BF> I haven't been watching Fox that long so I wouldn't know
 BF> but when I saw
 BF> him do it he did it with pleasure.

I'm sure Bill's not perfect BUT... during his show he usually shows both sides
to the story... He is patriotic, nothing wrong with that, and he doesn't let
anyone spin on a point... whatever political way U lean.  You can't dodge a
question and start reading the party talking points.  I've seen him bust all
kinds of people on that point.  I think this is why a lot of polititians avoid
him... because he actually holds them to answer the questions he asks.

 BF> Those generals are just as much for the war as (forgot
 BF> his name) is against
 BF> it.
Whatever... Atleast U know who they are... (That was my point only).  NBC
drerssed up a left-wing-nut-job up as an objective analyst without informing
their viewers.  Let both sides talk it out... for and against and let the
people watching form their own ideas on the matter.

 JS>> America is the greatest nation on the earth.  The American sperit is one
 JS>> of the biggest andf best I have ever seen.

 BF> With all due respect, have you been outside of North
 BF> America and then I don't
 BF> count as a military.
 BF> This spirit exists in *every* country. At least in every
 BF> I've been to and last week
 BF> I spent in Cambodia and right now I am in Thailand and
 BF> the spirit to rebuid after
 BF> the Tsunami is just as great as yours to rebuild after
 BF> the hurricanes. Nothing is
 BF> *that* special in the US and if you think so I must say,
 BF> again, with all due respect
 BF> that you haven't a clue what you're talking about.

I do have a clue... I have been to almost a dozzen different countries.  I'm
even married to someone from a latin country. I have a clue alright.  All that
aside, I find most
people who spend their time bashing the US have never visited
or have lived their, and form their ideas about the US on what they see on TV. 
I'm glad you made mention of the tsunami because the US was one of the major
contributers to the relief and aide to that happend. If you think the
others that you have met are patriotic you have not visited a mid-west US
state.  It's the people who make the country not the news U see on the
country... and most anyone of those US citizens would pick up a gun and fight
for your freedom, without even knowing you.  You might now like the current
political environment but you should have some respect for the citizens of the
US.
Anyway, all that aside... think about it... There are poeple willing to swim 90
miles in shark infested waters to get to the US, that sounds like they are
patriotic to Cuba doesn't it... :)  U even have aver 12 Million Mexiicans who
have risked their lives to sneek their way to the US... those Mexicans sure
look patriotic to Mexico.  It is the land of opportunity and maybe even the
land of Milk and Honey!!!

 BF> Now you're talking about networks that you know of. Last
 BF> year when I was here
 BF> in Thailand I had access to Russian news, Chineese news,
 BF> Australian news, BBC,
 BF> German news, Swedish news and American news. Those who
 BF> were most biased
 BF> was the American news, no matter if it was Fox or NBC.
 BF> Even the Russian and
 BF> the Chineese were far more better than the American and
 BF> that should give you
 BF> something to at least think about.

HAHAHAHAHA.... Okay... I need that.... HAHAHAHA

 BF> Thats your opinion. As I said, I've been to more than two
 BF> countries and I find that
 BF> all of them have something to learn from.

Same here...


Joe
