61% of Americans don't know words to National Anthem?

Bush is a real tough guy! He should just tell Air America "Bring it on!" He doesn't need no sissy investigation.

True enough ... but those Secret Service guys are funny that way.

Why do you have to be such a jerk all the time, McG?

Seriously

Cycloptichorn

Why would I want to do that?

I doubt anything broadcast on Air America will do anything to sway the 7 or 8 people listening. They are already devout to the cause of harming America.

I do, on the other hand, believe that these discussions we have on A2K really do help America. Regardless of what you may believe, America really does have a split personality right now. I mostly blame the internet and the "information age" we live in now for the myriad of problems we are facing.

10 years ago, you hardly heard of many of the problems and issues facing Americans and other people in the world. 20 years ago, forget about it. Africa? They have safari's there, right?
Everyone has full access to whatever they want now via the internet. People tend to read more of the things they agree with and that tends to lead to an isolation of sorts.

Imagine reading nothing more than Michael Moore, Moveon.org, Al Franken, etc... What would you thonk about conservatives in America?

Turn that around with Fox News, Rush Limbuagh, Boortz, et. al... you have a one sided view of the opposition.

Now, personally, I use A2K as a tool. I have to do a lot of research to back up many of the points I try to make. I know more about UN Resolutions, Secret Service activities, Iraq, WMD's, various personalities, etc. because of what A2K brings to me.

In real life, I am nothing like McGentrix. I have civil conversations with many liberals every day. I listen to them and offer counter points to which they respond in kind. I have a very good friend who is an extreme liberal with whom I have had many discussions about and I have a friend who is an extreme conservative. So much so that they have joined organizations like the young republicans and such. I usually take the liberal stance with him because I like to see how he responds.

So, yes, I believe that our left and right bashing personal views on this board help America.

I also happen to think Bush has been and continues to be a better president than the alternatives would or could have been.

I can't?

I must admit that I haven't actually listened to Air America either. It's so limited in it's distribution I doubt I ever will.

We don't have to know the words to Star Spangled Banner we just need to know its GOOD, and America is GOOD, and Bush is GOOD, and everything is GOOD right now.

We just need to know right from wrong. In fact soon we won't even have to KNOW, just OBEY, because we won't have to burdened with deciding for ourselves what's GOOD and what's BAD, they will decide for us.

God Bless America.

Well, at least one of you get it. Now if only you can get others to think the same way...

Where are you getting your data, McG? Air America is doing fine, now in 8 of the 10 top radio markets in the US. And of course, you can listen to it right now on the very computer you are looking at even while you type.
