I'm a Conservative. That doesn't make me a warmonger. That doesn't make me a homophobe. That doesn't make me a self hating homosexual. It doesn't make me a bigot. It doesn't make me a fascist. It doesn't make me unsimpathetic to those less fortunate than myself. It just makes me a Conservative. Does all this make me a bad guy? your call only when you impose your values and beliefs on me...do what you want with your life, let me do what I want with mine... You aren't an American. You can do whatever Argentinian law allows you to do.

You can do whatever Argentinian law allows you to do. Yeah, but see, they don't see it that way. If something is wrong in their life, they have to blame America and responsible, hardworking Americans. That's the way it works.

Sorry, I forgot for a moment that the US is the great evil of the world...... unless they are begging for money from the great satan, but their hatred subsides long enough for the cash transfer.

I just dont feel like I owe anybody much of anything least of all the state or federal government. I was born with nothing but a shack on a hilltop of mud, still dont got much although I got it much better than how I grew up. Had to struggle for what I got.Im still trying to improve my life. I would have nothing if not for the grace of "G-d".People are nice to me individually but all Ive ever got from government people was treated like crap. Im wondering what all the patriotism is all about. Growing up, people laughed at us and called us hillbilly white trash.You think Im gonna forget that?

Patriotism does not mean we have to "back" everything the government does. When it comes to initiating illegal war or cheating us out of billions of dollars or lying to the world about us, etc... we can be patriotic without backing the wrongs of the people in power in this country. If we acknowledge that we know the administration is wrong at least we show some intelligence. Blindly backing the government when it is wrong shows ignorance.

you people crack me up..I lived most of my life in the States..couldnt wait to get the hell out of there and Im glad I did... And yet you can't help but converse with Americans. By "you" I mean a foreigner that hates America and by converse I mean b!tch. Good choice. Jumped from the frying pan into the fire when you chose Argentina.

You are owned by your choices.I can assure you my story would bring you to tears but through hard work and commitment I have broken out of my past. We have the freedom to make our way or to wallow in the past. I choose to make my way.

I find it sadly ironic that with this story, you advocate the election of left-wing statist. Good job!

I find it sadly ironic that with this story, you advocate the election of left-wing statist. Good job! For some strange reason Obama "inspires" me. Makes me feel hope and wonder at the possibilities. McCain dont do nothing but say the same politician stuff Ive been hearing my entire life.It never ends with guys like him. Its the same old story same old song and dance.The same old fears and the same old problems.Telling me he gives a damn when we all know darn well he dont. Maybe I just want to experience that "camelot" feeling sometime in my life that I read about in the American history books. I dont really think Obama could be any worse than electing Mummy McCain, at least Obama will be able to stay awake on the job.I dont (and never have) give a crap about any of this richboy tax talk.Im looking for someone that can actually make decisions. Themselves.

We have the freedom to make our way or to wallow in the past. I choose to make my way. Yeah yeah. Ive heard that song before. And I dont care to again."Im owned by my choices"?What does that mean?I make my choices just fine thank you very much.I dont wallow in my past, thank G-D I dont live like that anymore,my life is a million times better in every way.I dont have no choice to make my way unless I want to go sleep in the dirt encrusted shack I grew up in like a friggin dog.My point in bringing this up was that Im not feeling that sense of nostalgia for the "good old days" that you right wingers are feeling. Granpa and Grandma never had nothin but a boxcar and an old bus in the woods.What good old days? Return to what?Im not feeling fear of some guy on the other side of the world wanting to kill me, I'll probably never meet him. Why do I give a damn? But I hope he's caught but Im not losing sleep over what a bunch of peasants say and what flags they burn. Im not scared and I got all the religion I need.So why would I vote Republican?

Ive thought about it and yeah maybe I am patriotic after all. Im patriotic for my friends, my family, most of the people I know, and all the people I do not know who are good. Im for them. I salute and pledge allegiance to them. I dont listen to some guy in a suit telling me who to be loyal to like some of you people. They are all around me. I dont give a rats behind about what some angry guy on the other side of the world is saying. He dont scare me.It dont concern me
