A Fellow From Germany

Hey Guys:

I like this board! Quite a few conservatives, makes me think there's still hope for our country to see so many on one board.

Anyway, I was at the airport a while back working on my plane, and a fellow from Germany asked me about what I was doing and getting his pilot's license.

He told me in America it is so much easier to get a pilots license. (Among other things). He also said he appreciates America. He said in Germany to get a pilot's license, and do other things the authorities make it extremely difficult. I told him things are so within reach in America, because we are the most free country in the world. I also told him that most of the countries in Europe are socialist, and that freedom in America has come with the price. A price from the American people standing up for their rights, standing up against tyranny, and our brave servicemen......

I do not understand why Harvard posts here. He never participates in the aviaton or WW2 threads. He only comes in here when he has a political rant.

I have no issue with being patriotic, but he's practically calling Germany communist.

I recognized that! My post was tongue-in-cheek because that seems to be his spamming...uhh...forte.
