Were they a drain and a complainer to society too?

Nope. They are exercising their rights under our constitution AS US citizens.

Patriotism is good. But having an "everyone else can go to hell" attitude is not.

You ain't seen me bein uncivil yet. It's the perfect attitude. It's our fought for and died for right to stand up and tell anyone if you don't like our nation, then we have every right to tell you to get out and don't come back.

If that's to harsh for you, to bad! I've been a soldier, I've defended my country. You speak ill of my blessed country, because your inconvienenced, then you just opened up a can of whipass.

No country has ever treated me badly. They all have their protocols. Before I go to any country I contact their embassy and find out all I need to know. The good and bad. When I land in a country, I know what I'm walking into.

My comment was to point out that their are many countries out there, where entering is a great deal harder to get into then the minor inconveinence one experiences coming into the United States.
