“However, there are places in the world where that is not the case and Americans are not blamed for the government’s problems.”

Yes, I have yet to visit a country where Americans are not welcome. In the Philippines, westerners from Europe and America are as welcomed as anywhere in the world, and they are everywhere. My closest friends are from Cape Cod, Texas, CA, and PA. That does not include those that I see walking or biking down my beach road. Even the smallest villages have American and European expats. While expats are good for the economy, even the poorest, including me, are just as welcome.
Yes, poverty, as we view it, is rampant, but you see the people laughing, not crying. They are not waiting for the government to bail them out.
I have never visited a Muslim country, and never will. That is the only line that I would draw.
Those on here that castigate expats have probably never been to another country, unless while in the military.
While I am an American, going back to my great great great uncle of 1812, I will use my retirement years visiting other countries and cultures. My twin brothers, and my daughter, back in the US, do the same.

The dog’s in a manger on here are very vociferous in bashing me, saying that I am bashing America, and crowing about my happy life. I have never bashed America, and I have never advocated that one should get out. That depends on them and their current situation. I bash those that are running the show now, mainly Obozo. I, like others, feel that conditions in the US will get only worse, before, if ever, they get better. I do know that America will never return to being the country that I grew up in, even though I am on FR daily, since 1999. If I did not care, I would not be here.
Yes, I do post that I am happy. If that bothers them, so be it.

"I do know that America will never return to being the country that I grew up in, even though I am on FR daily, since 1999."

Not only will we return our nation to the Republic it was meant to be, we'll do it without your cowardly a**. After we do, don't bother coming back, 'cause you won't be welcome. That is, if the Muzzies haven't already used you to get their jollies.

"Those on here that castigate expats have probably never been to another country, unless while in the military."

I can't speak for the other manger dawgs, but I don't castigate expats...just you. You're the only one here rubbing our noses in our nation's problems, and deriding us as fools for staying. I began castigating you back when you were actively recruiting others to turn chicken a** and join you in your Turd World "paradise"...back before Jim Rob put the smack down on your cowardly a** and told you to knock it off. If someone wants to leave the nation of their birth, that's their business. If they do so, and then start smugly rubbing our noses in America's problems from the comfort of their Turd World beach chair, then it becomes my business. Fortunately, so far, you're the only jacka** doing that.

"While I am an American, going back to my great great great uncle of 1812..."

Yeah, yeah, yeah...we've heard that one many times before. Your uncle is watching you from Heaven, spitting on the birthright he and so many others sacrificed to give you. You'll have to face him one day and explain your cowardly desertion...I hope I'm there to see it.

"I have never bashed America, and I have never advocated that one should get out."

Horsecrap. Do I need to do a search and pull up quotes? Like, maybe the quotes that got you b*tch slapped by the boss? Jim Rob didn't tell you to knock it off just because he didn't like your choice of cologne.

"Yes, I do post that I am happy. If that bothers them, so be it."

Quite the contrary...I, and the other manger dawgs, hope you're happy as a pig in slop. I hope you're so happy you'll never even entertain the notion of coming back to your former home. Not only do we not need your cowardly, spineless carcass back here to get in the way of our work, we don't want you back. When the world economy turns south, and those formerly smiling natives aren't so chummy with you anymore, I hope you're still feeling smug and sanctimonious when they come for some "payback". WTSHTF, at least I'll be with armed Christians and Jews who speak my language and share my heritage. Oh yeah, and who aren't sniveling, lying cowards.

Scouts Out! Cavalry Ho!

That's a bald-faced lie, Alex. I originally began getting into tangles with you because of statements you made that were precisely along those lines. In the beginning it was just me, but over time, others began being irritated by your constant stream of smug posts, dumping on the country of your birth and its citizens.

So many, in fact, that you eventually came up with a name for us -- "dogs in a manger" (note there's no apostrophe in the word dogs).

You've been crapping on America on FR for a long time, and thumbing your nose at Americans who love their country enough to stay and fight for it instead of bravely running away like you have. Even after being told by the boss to knock it off, you still can't help trying to get a dig in sideways at us.

That's fine, but understand that we're watching, and that we're going to call you out on that crap every time we see it.
