this is the son of the owner of the local harley davidson motocycle shop, and a real prick of the highest order. i wouldn't be surprised if he ran around with a white sheet over his head at night burning crosses. it's hypocrites like this that make it difficult for America to forge ahead.

Sick of ‘anti-American’ position

By STEVE MINEART

Am I the only one who is sick and tired of LeAnne Clausen and her anti-American (exactly what I meant) blame-America-first skewed numbers by Amnesty International, Human Watch and every other hate-America-first loser group? If anything positive about America ever leaves her lips, I’ll probably have a stroke.

You can whine about the so-called abuse of prisoners all you want and have some phony outrage, but don’t lump all the military and this country with the actions of a few low-lifes that slip through the cracks.

They’ll be dealt with, and they are the ones to blame. And, by God, if we are that bad, please find some place where you‘ll be accepted with open arms. Do I dare use the cliche, “America, love it or leave it?”

It is actually quite appropriate in some cases. And please take Teddy Kennedy and Tom Harkin with you. They are national embarrassments.
