For those who are the beneficiaries of her promises to declare that they are "victimized" is the height of hypocrisy.

And there's nothing less to define an American than somebody else's ideas of skin color, DNA or entitlement.Green Eyed Jinnnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-367019700923216960.post-39654393097991464582012-09-21T14:33:23.879-05:002012-09-21T14:33:23.879-05:00Stories like that of your husband's portray th...Stories like that of your husband's portray the true American story. We ARE a land of immigrants who long for the possibilities that America offers; they expect to work hard for the opportunity, and are rewarded with success. They don't take that success or their liberty for granted, and are truly grateful to be called Americans. They are not identified by skin color or nationality; they are Americans by virtue of adopting the American spirit and achieving the American dream. I am proud to call him my countryman!

He knew in order to succeed in the US he would have to learn English, which he did. He saw the opportunities that are available if you are willing to work hard. It was his dream to be self-employed and to own his own home. In 1982 we started a printing business and purchased our first home.<br />Our business was successful for many years, because we worked hard. It's in decline now, but that's another subject.<br />We've thought about retiring in Mexico but it's my husband who wants to stay in the US. He loves this country and appreciates what he was able to achieve through determination and hard work.<br />My husband never asked for equality of results only the opportunity to succeed. He understands maybe better than I do the American Dream.<br /><br />JMAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-367019700923216960.post-33451642346431479782012-09-21T11:20:14.685-05:002012-09-21T11:20:14.685-05:00Dang!

Oh, ...Dang! What's next??!!?? Fried chicken?<br /><br />Oh, wait, they already got that one.<br /><br />If you've never been to Portland, OR, then you need to know that it's quite possible the most liberal city in the USA, with only San Francisco being possibly worse.Green Eyed Jinnnoreply@blogger.com
