3. Well since they love guns and shooting people I guess they are
We seem to have a lot of Am. that love that type stuff. Maybe we could have one state that is like one of the states of old Germany that was just about war and such things? They could all live in a military society and be happy and leave the rest of us to some peace. We could even build one of our walls around it.

4. I've come to the conclusion that....
the term "patriotic American company" is an oxymoron.

10. If they're so patriotic, how about giving up profits on national defense?
War profiteering should be one of the highest crimes in the mind of any patriot. If they have less than a thousand employees in Iraq, I'm Santa Claus!
