   Did you happen to catch the Army-Navy game yesterday?   
      
   I would guess both these schools qualify as "publicly financed".   
      
   Yet there was prayer before the beginning of the game which very clearly and   
   appropriately mentioned our Heavenly Father, asking Him to protect the young   
   men on the field as well as all American Servicemen stationed throughout the   
   world.   
      
   There's an old saying which we tend to forget (or maybe overlook since it   
   probably isn't politically correct to the modern American Apologists) that   
   says, "Fight fire with fire."   
      
   I'd love to see us show those Middle Eastern Zealots just how radical us   
   good ol' Southern Baptist Boys can be flying the Stars and Bars off the   
   backs of our pick up trucks (yeah, that's right, I own a pick up truck).  I   
   get so tired of our politicians bending over and spreading their ass cheeks   
   for the World (not to mention the ass-kissers like Max in our own society)   
   in an attempt to appease or "make nice" with these wimps.   
      
   Wanna know why they call us "Ugly Americans"?   
      
   Cuz that's the best they *can* do, that's why.  They know we can spank   
   anybody's ass we feel like if we just decide to.  And we can do it with   
   impunity.  They know we don't need any of them for diddly squat.  But they   
   sure as hell need us.  I guess everyone's jealous of the guy with the big   
   stick.
