Does the USA need a different national symbol?

Post by D1B »

We're hardly worthy of the noble bald eagle.

I'm thinking the ferel pig or the tapeworm.

What do y'all think?
"Sarah Palin absolutely blew AWAY the audience tonight. If there was any doubt as to whether she was savvy enough, tough enough or smart enough to carry the mantle of Vice President, she put those fears to rest tonight. She took on Barack Obama DIRECTLY on every issue and exposed... She did it with warmth and humor, and came across as the every-person....it's becoming mroe and more clear that she was a genius pick for McCain."

Ben Franklin did prefer the Turkey. The guy had foresight.
Well, I believe that I must tell the truth
And say things as they really are
But if I told the truth and nothing but the truth
Could I ever be a star?

I don't think we need a new symbol. I think, correction, I KNOW that we must and we can become the nation we once were, that was deserving of that noble symbol.

Nay. Our empire is in decline. The only question is how gracefully we go about it.

You're wrong. I'm an optimist.

We can reverse decline if defeatist like you help us change course. THere's time. Is there enough people willing to do what's right for the country, put thier career aside, and do what is necessary to achive prosperity, safety and secure our place among the top?


Sadly no. THe people in power don't give a FUCK about anything except for thier precious careers. :ohno: :ohno: :ohno: :ohno: :ohno:


For all the talk about China, they have thier own problems and are hardly immune to the same problems we face. THe manufaturing sector which helped it acheive so much success is leaving the country. India, Vietnam, Mexico and even America are getting the jobs (at least inthe apparel industry).

It ain't necessarily a bad thing. I'm an optimist too.
