I am proud to be an American. My father has a Purple Heart. Neither of us are proud of President Bush. We didn't vote for him nor did the majority of Americans. Does this make me a bad person? Not being proud of someone, is not showing disrespect. How many people were proud of President Clinton's actions with Monica? I am proud of our our armed service people. They ARE the best in the world. Whenever I meet a Veteran I thank them personally. I thought that freedom of speech was encouraged in this country. It seems that people agree to that only if you don't say something they don't want to hear. It's amazing how many people on this board like Bush even though he doesn't support aviation labor. Sorry about the rambling, but I am sick of people attacking other people for saying what they think. When I buy a CD, I buy it because I like the music, not because I agree with the artist political or social behaviors. Remember, thinking is encouraged.
