[QUOTE="dannyboy, post: 78152, member: 484"] Ah....Tie, as a matter of fact, my family did have the hobnailed booted "storm troopers" in the form of the gestapo break down the door early in the morning. They gave my grandfather the option of either volunteering to fight the Russians or be shot there in the street. And since my father was a 13 year old, they pressed him into the service at the same time. This followed my families expulsion from Austria by the Bolsheviks, but luckily that time they were one step ahead of the mob in their flight to Germany and freedom. That is why we changed our name at that time, to protect what was left of the family from eradication. So while your statement would hold true for the majority of the board members, it is not in my case. And this from the government that promised to take care of the family unit, who was very tough on criminals, etc etc. As to being proud to be an American, yes I am. But there are things that the USA has done, not officially, but behind the scenes, that are very disturbing. And some of them go back to within months of our gaining the freedom we sought. As for being a patriot, no one doubts your heart. Its just like being married to a prostitute. Trust, but keep one eye open to what you see happening around you. And never be afraid to ask questions. Best! d [/QUOTE]
