Too much blood was shed on Guam to give it up freely.
It also makes a aircraft carrier that sits sentinel over the Pacific.

Thus, when foreigners mock them as cowboys, most Americans generally dont take it as an insult. Those foreigners are just jealous! And we are VERY proud of our history of rugged individualism. Think about it. Bloodlines and physical appearance do not make one an American. The willingness to adopt and live by the principles outlined in our constitution are what makes one an American. Our country has experienced a constant flow of immigrant who is giving up the known in the 'old' country, for a chance at something better. To me, this means that America has benefitted from this constant infusion of strong genes of adventurous people. The secure and the weak are left back in the 'old' countries, and America becomes stronger generation after generation.

That's good.
The downside is that we have to fight democrats traitors, here at home, every day.
The price of freedom is that fight.
I will pay the price.

This guy can't be too bright. His remark about Guam shows his stark lack of history knowledge. We took Guam from the Spanish in 1899 war with Spain. The reason why we didn't turn it over to some other country after World War II is that ----it belonged to the U.S. in the first place. The Japanese took it from us in early 1942 as they swept south and eastward to establish their island chain, their "Greater East Asia Co-Prosperity Sphere," ie: the short-lived empire away from their home islands.
