Oh Dear - this kind of thing is incomprehensible to me. (Since everyone was wilfully misunderstanding me, I changed Europeans.....)
Don't kid yourself, this kind of thing is incomprehensible to most Americans too.<br /> <br /> crap.<br /> <br /> Welcome back!

<P>Please don't think that this commercial attempt at patriotism represents all Americans. A great many Americans are embarrassed and aggrieved over the actions of our marginally reelected president, who may not have been legally elected the first time. Many of us are unfortunate and unwilling participants in this sad chapter of our history. God Save America.</P><br /> <P>linda</P>

Speaking on behalf of the Asian continent, this is <span style="font-style: italic;">completely</span> comprehensible. Makes absolute and utter sense. Clear as a bell.<br/> <br/> Can't imagine why you dim-witted Westerner's can't get it...

I choose not to get it. and the mullet has got to go.<br/> <br/> ang<br/> a dim-witted Westerner

I agree, as an American I also find it incomprehensible. But, I<br /> also find the whole concept of Royalty to be totally incomprehensible.

This sort of sentimental and sappy clip would send almost any reasonable person into hiding no matter what their country of origin. It's just terrible. Mullets speak for themselves and their owners. However, as a proud American (who has lived in, traveled around and enjoyed much of Europe), former soldier and flag waving Christian patriot, I am so very tired of the <span style="color: rgb(0, 85, 255);">Lindas</span> who never miss a chance to whine and meow in public. She is the unfortunate participant in a booming economy, excellent housing, religious choices, outstanding health care, wonderful opportunities and freedoms and security enforced by others who offer up their lives and spend their time applauding successes rather than crying over a distant 2nd place finish. Millions of immigrants continue to make huge sacrifices so they can to get into this great land of ours ...God Bless America.<br/> <br/> And yes, welcome back.

<P>I'm still laughing. Look at where is comes from and take it for what it's worth. As a Canadian I have been doing it all my life.</P><br /> <P>Chris</P>

I think my middle class pocket got picked by a rich chicken hawk fat cat Republican while the tears were streaming down my patriotic eyes.
