Now that is truly funny coming from a guy who's avatar has an eye patch.

You know something that's funny...
The OP was "what do you like from America?"
Two respondees immediately took this stance and made two enormous leaps of logic-defying proportions...
The first was that the poster of the OP held that "If you don't like American things you're not an American". The second was "All truthers are Americans".
Both of these conclusions are absurd because absolutely nothing in the OP indicates either of these statements.
This is typical of conspiracy theorists, and this is why their theories are garbage. They read or see something, they completely ignore what is actually there, and they fabricate whatever they want to be there.
One of them wanted the OP to be saying if you don't like things American, you're not an American. One of them wanted the OP to be claiming all truthers lived in the USA. More recently another wanted the OP to be demanding truthers identify what they like about the American government.
And because that's what they want to read, that's what they read. In defiance of reality.

I'm not a truther, but I suppose most of them - at least outside the U.S. - to feel something like this:
It's sad that such leftist pseudointellectuals have managed to gain a foothold in many important circles.
Btw, I like America. It's an undeniable fact that there wouldn't be a free Europe today if the US troops wouldn't have stood in the way of both the Nazis and the USSR - a fact that the arrogant frenchies and the leftist pseudointellectuals should keep in their mind.

I never used to think much of America or Americans until I came to the JREF. My opinion of the USA has risen mightily.
It might upset you somewhat, but my opinion of George Bush has actually risen too...
Anyone catch that joke he made recently about his memoirs? He was talking about how Clinton's were 10,000 pages long (the laughs from this implied he's referring to something else but I don't know what). He then said he was thinking of writing his memoirs once he left office, but was thinking of something a bit more creative; maybe a picture book.
Now, I don't care what you think of the man, when you're the Pres being ridiculed for being stupid, to make a call like that is a stroke of pure courageous genius. Frankly in my opinion that's the best call ever by a US President.

Yeah that George Bush is such a prankster.
He made jokes about looking for nonexistent Weapons of Mass destruction.
I don't think the families of the soldiers who died looking for them, were laughing as hard as most. Or the innocent Iraqis who were killed that were accused of hiding them. Or their families who are still shooting at us right now. But hey as long as the politicians are safe and warm who cares?

Parky, though I sort of understand where you're coming from it does seem a little biased the way you have asked this question.
Lumping all the members of the truth movement into one big 'America-hating' category is much the say as what they do to us ("stupid-neocon-bush-lovin-JREFers").
Some may genuinely believe they are the true patriots here. Some may hate America completely. Even more may simply be motivated by a distrust and dislike of George Bush and the current administration.
This just seems like a bit of a biased question to be asking...though I can understand if you needed to vent. We all do sometimes.

Cral Travis was the name that was supposed to be of the guy who betrayed Blake in the pilot, but was later named Del Tarrant or something. At least according to the Wikipedia page (I never heard his first name on the show). I guess that was supposed to be his full name in the long run though.
Space Commander Travis
Seemed fitting with the evil government overlord theme.

Now, now, PhantomWolf... the Americans saved our asses from Japanese attack in WW2 and saved many of our boys lives in WWI... there's something at least...
And of course they also impregnated many of our young ladies while our men were away fighting in Europe... :O

"Best call ever?" Easy to say when you don't live here and have his decisions and policies effect your life. It ain't cute any more! (Never was, really).
They did better than the English did anyway in using the ANZAC as cannon fodder.
Gallipoli, anyone?

That would be the Starr Report.
They used us because we were the best.

Well we're still feeling a bit sore about it in Australia.
Next time they ask us to land on a strategically shiate beach, surrounded by the enemy who have the high ground, we'll politely tell them where they can shove their Turkish delights.
No offense to any Turks here. Ironically, I think we're still more pissed off at the English over this one.

Here too...
But bear in mind it wasn't intended for us to land on such ridiculous beaches...
Bad stuff happens in war.
We might have succeeded had it not been for the utterly retarded British commander that landed further to the north. I feel sorry for the British commanders that oversaw the campaign, having to deal with the useless British units that supreme command sent them.
