Now I could officialy say I'm proud to be an American,unlike most of you guys I had to jump through hoops to become one.
First I had to apply for a immigrents visa and green card ,in all that took 3 years of paper pushing, interviews, running back and forth to the US Embassy in Berkley Square London just to dot an i or cross a t.
And then the dreaded interview with the Consulate general, (remember by this time my Dad was a citizen) I sat down in front of him ,his first words were "Why haven't you got a Batchelors degree ?"
I told him the truth ,I didn't know what a fu*king batchelors degree is,let alone have one,Then he went on to tell me that most Americans had collage degrees, I said "Wow that's amazing,they must all be very clever" I went on to say that if all these brainiacs are doing there thing they must need people like me to chauffeur them around, or become a butler ,or a valet, I said I heard American love English butlers" I said my Sister went to Kentucky and was a nanny to the Haliburtons (true) ,he stamped my visa and said "good luck"
5 years later I took a short American history class and became a citizen. Seeing America is only 250 years old the history class was very easy.
All that being said.
I will be going back to England soon for a visit, guess what passport I renewed ? Yes sir,my British one.,britain is one of the few country's that you can never lose your citizenship,if you are born british you die british. What the heck I might renew my US passport just in case.
Now, am I proud to be an American ?

Theirs a few people here that don't like Sarah Palin,Just name one Politician that would be better,Don't say a lot of them, name One.

Star's quote: "Because she is the epitome of what's wrong with America, and poor parenting to boot. Greedy, uninformed (read stupid,) trailer trash family values, quitter, anti-American...the list goes on and on."

wow...liberal love & tolerance on display again....

Ron Paul is the only one Ive seen who isnt out to screw us/

wow...liberal love & tolerance on display again....

A common misconception among the politically unsophisticated is that liberal kindness and tolerance extends to those who do not warrant it.

Thank you.

Almost right TC I would go with more like three quarters of the country,not half.When I move here from the old country 1967 things seemed so much betterwithin a few months I had a load of friends,admittingly they /we were all members of the Long Beach MENS golf club, the women had there meetings on a different day,we only had one tournement a year when the lady's played with us,no disrespect lady's but you just don't hit the ball very far,and a game with women takes twice as long,anyway I loved thosa days,get away from the wife.  But nowdays peaple reall do seem mean,and very tight with a buck,while on my trip I was having a cold one ,two other guys were sitting at the bar making small talk with the BT they had about 6 cocktails apeace,and left the bartender a lousy buck.
Boy this thread has gone a long way from a french murderess.
