Hence the Declaration of Independence.
No, I'm pretty sure most (if not all) of the founding fathers were born in America.

New World founded in mid 1500's..........last of the 13 colonies, Georgia, was founded in the mid 1700's. Eric is probably right on this one.

Side note.....
The 13th colony was Georgia, founded by James Oglethorpe in 1732 as a refuge for debtors and convicts.

Yeah, they have a choice to mock those who give them any of the freedoms they have thus they are worthless pieces of s!@t!!! Come to my yard and try that you gutless losers!!!

I am an American Army Soldier about to deploy to Iraq in one week. I am proud of what I do and Very proud of my country. It does bother me a little to see people protest in such a way but that is why i and many others before me have made great sacrifices for our country so that we all have the right to freedom of speech. The part that really does bother me about their protest is that the main contributors hide their faces behind masks. Which only shows that they do not truly believe in what they are protesting. War is never good, but in a world of good and bad it will always exist.

Thank you and we greatly appreciate the risks you guys undertake on a daily basis in order to protect and serve our country. I think I speak for all of us on this board when I say we're behind you all the way

Then why do you think they do it?

I would think they hide their faces because they are scared for their safety.
