<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Personally, I am a little weary of embracing
the "whatever religion you wish" syndrone. I agree, everyone should have
the right to worship as they believe, so long as their religion does not preach
death and destruction on others because of their beliefs. I am tired of
the so-called "Religion of Peace" and their attempts to acquire maximum kill
with their terrorist acts.</FONT></DIV>

<DIV><BR></DIV>That's what it takes to be a True American? Not to be
afraid to show you are a christian? Not to burn the flag? To
respect veterans and your elders?<BR><BR>Well, I almost made it. I'm not
christian, so apparently I can't be a True American.
Wonderful.<BR><BR>Your standards are too low. How about you are a True
American if the ideas of freedom and liberty for all are important to
you? That includes the freedom to believe whatever religion you wish, or
none at all.<BR><BR>If you support the First Amendment, I would say you are on
the path to being a "True American". If you care for your rights and the
rights of others equally, I'd say you are a True American. If you get
enraged when politicians "game the system", you are a True American.<BR><BR>If
you get angry when someone claims they are a "Patriot" when they really mean
that they blindly support the government or the status quo, you are a True
American. Look up what it really means to be a Patriot sometime.
Start by imagining the courage it took for the Founding Fathers to sign the
Declaration of Independence and ponder what would have happened to each of
them if the revolution had failed.<BR><BR>The true values of this country are
getting lost in this "Christians - the World's Only Persecuted Majority"
crap. What values that have managed to squeak through that mess are
wantonly being pulverised by Corporate America. I'd say the truest sign
of whether or not you are a True American is if you have had it up to here
with all the crap that has happened in the last couple of
decades.<BR><BR>Paul<BR><BR>Dick Sherwin wrote:
