if anything the yanks should be saying thank you.  the bill of rights was based upon our magna carta, british wealth paid for alot of the american railroad system, even your national anthem is based upon a royal navy sea shanty!

maybe it is because we are similar we are such good allies?

Thank you for losing the American Revolution!

Dred,

Thanks for posting - I think many have never read the full text (except as forced in school) for the purpose of actually just reading it.

It is always refreshing and encouraging to look back on those words and deeds and to take a moment to recognize the importance of them.

And from the reading perhaps bringing ourselves to a greater understanding of our role as citizens (those of us that are U.S. citizens that is).

Thanks again - And to those that would piss on Dreds boots for posting this, you're sad little creatures...  He's rightfully proud of his country.  As you should be of your own.

Bait?

YOU asked for thank you and you got one. The rest stemmed from that.

Comming in here is like visiting an elderly house after someone switched their pills with acid.

If you don't receive Jesus Christ, you don't receive the gift of righteousness.
