today I am ashamed ....

Am I ashamed of the asshole muslim who makes a big deal about praying in public to get a rise out of people or the assholes who fall into the trap? It doesn't bother me.

What does the "common man" of America have to be ashamed of?

I'm ashamed/embarrased many Americans see Sarah Palin as a legitimate, even desirable, presidential candidate. To see America embrace her kind of artifice and ignorance is mortifying.
I was also ashamed/embarrassed by George Bush's ugly americanism, his whole "you're either with us or against us" gunboat diplomacy; his certainty that he was an agent of God doing God's work for God's chosen nation.
The United States used to be arguably the world's most noble nation. Whether we still are is highly debatable. Credit Obama for making an effort to steer us back in that direction.

You name individuals and try to make it seem as if it reflects all of America's interests....thats the issue here...when politics and the elite few represent America as a whole, that is where we run into a problem. But sadly enough, I guess that is their job...to represent us. But herein lies the flaw...
 
Why are you ashamed that people who don't know you, aren't related to you and cannot be influenced by you are ignorant and stupid? Are you ashamed of the rapist and child molesters? How can you empathize shame??? And why would that empathetical shame have anything to do with geography??

Meh. Introducing random criminal behavior and connecting it to this topic is a bit of a reach, don't you think? Since when is it a crime to pray?

You seem to not care much for the concept of citizenship, do you?
 
Being ashamed of the actions and beliefs of others is the surrender of individuality. Or worse, the projection that you're the righteous standard. If we were more concerned with our own affairs, this would be a much better world.

This makes no sense today. I do like the anti-organized religious aspect of it. There are 350 million+ people in this country. You can't ignore everyone and just assume everything will turn out fine. It's a nice idea if we were all farmers and ranchers and all we had to worry about was if there would be rain for the crops and would Pa bring in enough corn at the market...

Your post is full of pro this and anti that and has nothing to do with anything anyone else has said. That's called baiting. Kind of like what the asshole in the parking lot was doing. And I'm not ashamed of anyone else that thought it was bullshit either.

I can see how Fox News viewers can miss the point of a veteran who feels shame for his fellow countrymen when instead he should feel proud of himself for having the balls to stand up by himself to face a xenophobic mob of cowardly chickenhawks who don't respect the civil liberties and rights of Muslims
