Reply #237: to be quite honest [View All]

from reading the kind of posts on this thread, and average posts on issues about natural Americans vs. immigrants, it will never happen, because you all seem to have this high and mighty attitude that you're BETTER than the rest of the world. You act as if you've been blessed with the hand of God because you were born in a particular part of the world. You cite a handful of bad people from overseas and say they could become president, when to be quite frank if you're stupid enough to elect those people, you deserve it.

I am not trying to start a flame war here, but as a non-American I find this rhetoric to be absolute bullshit. You think the non-American world is just a handful of terrorists and Hitlers, when it's not. Americans are as capable of being evil tyrants as somebody born in the middle east or Europe or Africa or wherever else, and yes an American can be an Al Qaida operative too.

Quite frankly I find it idiotic that you would use national security as something to set your democratic terms.

I'm sorry, but I had to speak out, I find this nationalism pointless and regressive. Oh, and FYI you are more than welcome to become an Australian citizen and run for PM.
