(2,730 posts)anybody really has responded to him as if he was stupid? What he doesn't seem to know too much about is the history of this country and its people. I just read his profile also, and figured he wasn't an American.
I spent years in the American military. I wasn't just a soldier also. I was also spent part of my time in leadership positions. What that soldier did was dishonorable to the U.S. military. We lived by a code of conduct. We also represented our country. That is who we are as a people. He talks about freedom of commerce. Freedom of commerce for whom? Freedom of Commerce to benefit whom in Tunisia?
Now he called me a racist. I'm an African American and the son of slaves in this country. That is how much he knows about Americans. He doesn't have the slightest idea what he is talking about when it comes to the United States and its people. And I don't define Democracy the same as he does. For example in this country, we seperate church and state. In this country, we believe the less well off has just as much right as the well off. It doesn't matter who your parents were. Religion does not dictate the rights of others. This is a country, that went through nearly four years of a bloody Civil War over slavery. Over 600,000 Americans died in that War. The Syrian Civil War is nothing compared to that. And we are still fighting over that War, because some Americans still want to return to the Past. That is why America doesn't have any moral compass to preach to any country about human rights.
