Post #324,227 by beepster 4/8/10 12:18:36 AM Reply	he's missing a key point... ...of the "teabaggers" argument..and one of the things that aggravates them the most... Obama and the left keep saying we should be more like "other first world countries" instead of the reverse...which is "our way is better"...so they should want to be more like us. I will choose a path that's clear. I will choose freewill.

The rest of the first world looks at how you guys run things with a mixture of pity and horror. If you guys didn't blow so much money on your military, you might even hear more about it.
