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

 JS> I'm sure Bill's not perfect BUT... during his show he usually shows both
 JS> sides to the story... He is patriotic, nothing wrong with that, and he
 JS> doesn't let anyone spin on a point... whatever political way U lean.

Sometimes he's a bit too ptriotic though.

 JS> You
 JS> can't dodge a question and start reading the party talking points.  I've
 JS> seen him bust all kinds of people on that point.  I think this is why a
 JS> lot of polititians avoid him... because he actually holds them to answer
 JS> the questions he asks.

But only if they are left.

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

Now I haven't seen NBC so I have nothing to compare with.

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

 JS> I do have a clue... I have been to almost a dozzen different countries.
 JS> I'm even married to someone from a latin country. I have a clue alright.

And still you haven't seen any sprit in any other country? What have you been
looking at?

 JS> All that aside, I find most people who spend their time bashing the US
 JS> have never visited or have lived their, and form their ideas about the US
 JS> on what they see on TV.

Don't forget those we came in contact with her on Fido.

 JS> I'm glad you made mention of the tsunami because
 JS> the US was one of the major contributers to the relief and aide to that
 JS> happend.

We've been through this before and per capita you were among the lowest
to give.

 JS> If you think the others that you have met are patriotic you have
 JS> not visited a mid-west US state.  It's the people who make the country not
 JS> the news U see on the country... and most anyone of those US citizens
 JS> would pick up a gun and fight for your freedom, without even knowing you.

Somehow I find that hard to belive. No one in this world does anything without
getting payed.

JS> You might now like the current political environment but you should have
 JS> some respect for the citizens of the US.

I have but not at that amount.

 JS> Anyway, all that aside... think about it... There are poeple willing to
 JS> swim 90 miles in shark infested waters to get to the US, that sounds like
 JS> they are patriotic to Cuba doesn't it... :)

Haven't some even tried to swim from Alcatraz? It says more about they place
they are leaving.......

 JS> U even have aver 12 Million
 JS> Mexiicans who have risked their lives to sneek their way to the US...

Even there, what are they leaving.

 JS> those Mexicans sure look patriotic to Mexico.  It is the land of
 JS> opportunity and maybe even the land of Milk and Honey!!!

I even hear on the news that there are Americans not willing to go to Iraq and
rather take a court martial.

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

 JS> HAHAHAHAHA.... Okay... I need that.... HAHAHAHA

Okay. that's up to you.

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

 JS> Same here...

Then, why don't we?
