Why oh why, I ask?

I have a regular group of stalkers here that leap down my throat, as soon as the penny drops that I'm not a US citizen, even taking this up as opposed to the topic at issue.

Is this some form of CD xenophobia or what?

its like talking down about someones family members, and not being part of the family. yes that bad apple uncle you have might be the but of family jokes, but you dont let others disrespect your family and you defend that bad apple uncle when non family members attack him. its the same with americans. yes our counrty isnt perfect, no country is. and yes we have issues that we have to deal with in this country, and yes americans attack americans regarding those issues. but let someone who is not an american attack us, and brother beware because we will come after you. its like people disrespecting our president, regardless of who it is, americans will defend our president.

It's a Charlie Daniels/family thing:

From The Sound up in Long Island
Out to San Francisco Bay
And everything that's in between them is our own
And we may have done a little bit
Of fightin' amongst ourselves
But you outside folks best leave us alone

offensive? oh well, I just say it how I see it.

but those who tell me to hop it to the UK section are also pretty quick to bash other countries, leaders etc...

sounds like they want it both ways.

Your last post about same sex marriage was just rediculous. You could be from America or the South pole and it would still be rediculous.

yes that is true. as i said, us americans can go after our president because he is our president, not yours. i might not like obamas policies, and i have said so loudly time after time, but i wont let a foreigner attack my president. you need a reading comprehension class because i said EXACTLY THAT in my first post.

That's one of the funniest things I've ever heard! Too bad there's no Rolling on the Floor emoticon!
If I was to slam Obama, I'd get cheers, applause and rep point out the wazoo by a significant percentage of the posters here.

Well I've never said that to you & I don't bash other countries. And yes, you are offensive on here which is most likely the reason you have hostility directed towards you, not the fact that you're a foreigner.
