Define nationalist.

What evidence?

Examples?

How so?

A diatribe of unsupported accusations. Can't you do better?

Try an entire season from April to October, not a one shot series.

Are you kidding? Pearl Harbor was not an attack? You don't believe in mutual
defense agreements where we come to the defense of our allies like in WW II,
Korea, and Vietnam? You don't consider the bombing of our warship an attack?

My freedom under attack? Where do you pick up this stuff?

So 20 million illegals is a "trickle?"

Where do you get your information, from moveon.org? Noam Chomsky?
