The word is German, the food is American.

And FWIW of the three origin theories on the hamburger, one takes place in Hamburg, New York.

The constitutional republic - the greatest, but sadly failed, attempt to restrain the power hungry from the oppression of a populace.

"A republic, if you can keep it."

- 1980 US Hockey win over the SU

- We were the first real democracy. Sure there are freer societies nowadays but we got the ball rolling and were the shining beacon of freedom relative to the rest of the world for a long time.

- US military engineers and logistics. Our military has a stellar record in getting supplies where they are needed and building the things needed to support military operations. We supplied an entire major city under blockade for over a year. Eat that Stalin!

- Compared to the rest of the world we are insanely tolerant of immigrants and we have the most diverse country in the world.

I don't think "kicked the [censored] out of them" means what you think it means, but everyone is entitled to their opinions I guess... [img]/images/graemlins/smirk.gif[/img]
