Do you have a nieghbor who is exceedingly arrogant, and doesn't give a rat's furry behind about your property line? Do you/would you hate him?

And check this, sparky. I have traced my family line in the US back to 1692. I have ancestors that fought in every major conflict from the Revolutionary War up to, and including, both world wars, and surving family that has served in the remaining conflicts, including an Uncle who served on Omaha Beach, bless him.

What are YOUR "qualifications" as an American?

I sir, or madam, am a RATIONAL American, not prone to buy into each and every crackpot conspiracy theory that comes down the pipeline because I am some bored kid popping pimples in my bedroom in my mom's basement.

I am in fact a grey bearded grandfather who happens to use the brain nature bestowed upon our species, and am quite able to think for myself.
