By "The Record" you must mean the broken record... you know... the one that 
keeps skipping.

I love my Country and I am sincere about our Global Perspective. By 
comparison the Country to the South of me calls the "War for Oil and Gas" 
the "War on Terror" but when it comes to a real war (WWII) it sits on the 
fence.

Look at the record. As far as belief; give me evidence-based fact (Give me 
liberty or give me death is rather reactionary pyscho-babble) and fact is 
always better than "In God We Trust" blind-faith.

You would not have a clue as to what the World perceives. Obviously you have 
missed the point entirely.

You ought to see yourselves as we see you. Yes "conceit" says it all.

Whatever you think you have found in any given moment of epiphany may be the 
aftermath of a damned good brainwashing by parochial propaganda and media 
hype.

Some are smart, and some are not. Many smart Americans were born in other 
countries and I would suspect that many stupid ones were not, like in many 
other countries.
