No search means I can't find it.

Basically he said he was "feeling patriiotic" so he thought the US should use its superior military power to take over the world.

No, I dont believe the US should take over the world.

I would like to read Preston's statement though, seems like he's being taken out of context.

This reminds me of the "should group sex be illegal" poll, which was inspired by another Cosmo Kramer quote taken out of context.

If I recall correctly, Cosmo Kramer wasn't saying that the US should, only that he was very proud of the fact that it could (the truth of this statement notwithstanding).

Not that he wouldn't support the US if it decided to do so, though.

Ah and we have another BRTD poll based upon a non-existant Preston quote. Nice job BRTD. Roll Eyes

More space wasted on a worthless comment. I'm wondering whether his problems are in comprehension or remembering what people say.

Both, plus many others that are too numerous to go into here.

No, I remember this.

I found the quote:

Which according to your avatar color is also your political faction.

For examples of very nationalistic governments look at Saddam's Iraq, the Lebanese Falange, and oh, Germany in the late 30s/early 40s...
I'm not arguing that what Germany did was right.  However, you have to admit that nationalism was very effective for one country to steamroll across Europle.  The people were dedicated to the sucess of their country.
If being nationalistic would enable the USA to take over a whole continent, I'd be as anti-nationalistic as I could.
Whole continent.  The USA could take North America with our standing armies for crying out loud.  With a fierce nationalism movement and a healthy investment in nukes the US could take the whole world -being allied with Russia and maybe India, of course.

I'm going to give you the benefit of the doubt, and assume you were on crack cocaine when you posted this.
No, I'm just feeling very patriotic at the moment.

It has largely done so already, hence the minute backlash.
