Subject: RE: American Attacks:Thirteen and Lucky?
You can pick on these guys all you like.

You might be an armchair patriot if........

1. You didn't own a Flag prior to 9/11.

2. When you went into buy a flag, you had to ask the sales clerk which one was the American flag. (This is definitive. No need to read further).

3. You don't know what the 13 stripes or 50 stars are for.

4. You think the purpose of Memorial and Veterans Day is so Sears can have a blockbuster sale. And get mad when all teh parades tie up traffic.

5. You have never registered to vote.

6. You have ever lied so you wouldn't have to serve on a jury.

7. You really meant to give blood but there was a game on TV you really couldn't miss.

8. You're not sure what the Bill of Rights is but think it's probably not a good idea.

9. You think that anyone who disagrees with the president should be deported.

10. You are registered but have never bothered to vote.

11. You worry a lot about dependence of Mid East Oil while you drive to the Rally for America in your SUV. Alone. Because your spouse needed stop at Public on the way home and you didn't want to have to wait.

12. You think "My Country Right or Wrong" is silly because it's impossible for the US to be wrong.

13. You think that the solution is to nuke Somebody. Anybody. Bagdad, Kabul, Cairo, Miami.

14 You just figured out that the Star Spangled Banner was the National Anthem, not the NFL/ NCAA theme song.

15. You think radio talk show hosts are a reliable source of information about American History. Extra credit if you feel the same way about "People Magazine" and Jay Leno and David Letterman.

16. You fully support the statement: "What's good for General Motors is good for the USA"

17. You think that what we really need to do is get rid of all those foreign looking types. Even if they have lived in here for a few generations.

18. Before 9/11, you thought Afghanistan was somewhere in South America. Which you though was somewhere near Africa. Or maybe Japan.

But leave the rest of us out of your silly little diatribes. Childish name calling solves exactly nothing.
