So I was watching some news program this afternoon, one of the TVs in the campus cafeteria is tuned to a news channel and I like getting a bit of an update while I eat. Alas, I don't remember the name of the program well enough to say what it was, but.

They were talking about the possibility of Al-Qaeda in the US, scary stuff, and the host mentioned that he'd been talking to his wife and she said she was losing hope, asked him to give her a bit of hope; and he passed this question on to the guy he was interviewing. The answer went something like:

"Well, I think the American people are the hope; they're more determined, they're more bloody-minded than [the administration?], and they know that a single American is worth more than any foreigner..."

What the FUCK?

He's right, in a sense! Americans are worth more TO AMERICA. Something called a tax system.

Any other swing on that statement is patently ridiculous. DX

That's um. That's a really odd statement for regarding a country that's almost entirely made up of the descendants of immigrants. And we're not even talking fifth or sixth-generation immigrants.

As a foreigner, I'm greatly offended.

Was it Fox News or that Christan news show?

That's like something I'd expect to hear on Borat. :/
