Mike;
You may have hit on something with American Chauvinist Blogging; another stroke of genious! The Campaigns of 2008 are heading in that direction and we are now the First!
The days are long gone for any American Chauvinist as the Country moved to Political Correctness, BUT for example Hillary for President IS trying to FIGHT OFF being known as an AMERICAN CHAUVINIST!
As for a blog that you described for me , having seen alot of good and bad and lack of humor I welcome your comments; some of us who were born baby bommers have different values than generation X and Generation Y. That does not mean they are more or less right than I was at there age but History and Events does change a person to return to Basic Fundamental’s.
Thanks Mike; When it comes to our Liberties and Freedoms written into the United States Constitution where so many have sacrificed and died for our rights I can NOT cowtow to giving them up just to be politically correct in our time hurting those who come after us.
Facts Dwight: “Cho, who immigrated to the United States from South Korea in 1992 and was raised in suburban Washington, D.C.”

That makes him South Korean
Wow, this is odd. I find myself in agreement with Dwight. This tragedy might have been stopped short of the horrendous bodycount it achieved if responsible citizens who had undergone background checks, fingerprinting, and training had the right to carry concealed on that campus. Similar rampages have been stopped by other responsible citizens with guns; short of a policeman in every classroom, arming the potential victims is the only way to stop such tragedies.
However, regardless of whether Dwight might be a racist (which I’ll credit he likely isn’t) he is certainly an American chauvinist pig (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chauvinism). Look it up before you complain or insist that I, too, apologize, Dwight; I think you would want to wear this distinction with pride. In fact, I have taken the liberty of starting a blog just for you called http://arizona.typepad.com/americanchauvinist . You can rant to your heart’s content to people who share your views.
When anyone from another Country through acts of his own, causes you and I to loose our Freedoms , such as The Right To Bear Arms, written into The Constitution Of The United States, when limiting the sale of Arms as proven in Island Nations around the World(Great Britain, Ireland etc;) that have no access to any other direct land masses, finds that gun ownership INCREASES and law abiding citizens are left defenceless against criminals who will find a means to get what they need to carry out atrocities against society, I think its time to look at who we let into our Country and attend our Universities instead of taking away Mikes Gun and Right To Bear Arms!
The slanderous comments on this blog are not comming out of my mouth!
I DEMAND YOU APPOLOGIZE FOR CALLING ME A RACIST SIR!!!
The South Korean IS a CHINESE NATIONAL as his parents are from mainland China!
Why does ANYONE who supports AMERICAN CITIZENS RIGHTS and VALUES over that of another Country in the World who does NOT have our FREEDOMS or CONSTITUTION subject themselves to being called a RACIST???!!!
Get the facts, Dwight.. he was South Korean…… and I somehow doub that his race or country of origin had ANYTHING to do with the shootings, as South Korea has less violent crime than the US does.
The more you post, the more your true colors are revealed, Dwight. You are a racist. Plain, pure and simple. The type of thinking that you have, jingoistic and anti-foreigner, is what has caused the so much of the world to hate the U.S.
Chinese National on a Student Visa kills 33 plus students in Virginia? I have been involved in a long investigation with the F.B.I. Department of Homeland Security Canadian Mounted Police and The Oro Valley Police in a Student who works for a Telemarketing Firm in India selling transferrs to United States Loan Companies who is using the Company Phone to solicit a United States Visa from me, being turned down in October of 2001 and again in 2005. The State Department was immediatly informed and he has been RED TAGGED and will NEVER get a legal U.S. Visa. He wanted to learn to Fly Aircraft and attend a University in New York! Then upon talking to me wanted to come to Arizona to do the same! As all the 911 terrorists trained at the Marana Airpark I as a Concerned Citizen involved everyone I could. You would be surprized to know the F.B.I. was the LEAST interested and The Department of State The MOST interested!
