Some people around here, whether it is stemming from ignorance or arrogance, continue the chest beating and backslapping as if it is something to be proud of.

Conversely, just say the truth and be done with it, "we want what you have and if you don’t give it to us we will take it by force". Don' bask in the imagined glow of the savior of the world. Your commander in chief is an almost illiterate moron who is so wrapped up in his religious fantasy and self importance that he became an embarrassment to his country and a tragedy for another.

You can never possibly understand what it means to protect one’s heritage, history and culture, yours is rather diluted. I know exactly who my ancestors were, where they came from, why and what they did to survive. I can look back 100, 500, 1000 years and the names and actions of my forefathers make me proud. The same can not be said about any of you, for what you see when you open your history book is extermination, bondage and institutionalized racism. So before you complain about Europe think of the "redskins" and the slave masters. Don’t have to look too far, just a few generations.
