Actually, that's not even close to what I was saying, but thanks for attempting to make me look like a shallow and conceited jerk.
People who know me will tell you I'm none of the three, even if they disagree with me.

Man, sometimes the internet sucks the fun right out of trying to be subtle. I apologize if you feel my comments were directed at you personally - they were supposed to sound like a stereotypical American as seen by the rest of the world. Your argument struck me as self-serving (America, not you personally) which implied that it was other people's anti-Semitic attitudes and not anything to do with America that is at the root of any anti-American attitudes. I get the feeling you might think I take ra-ra USA arguments personally, which I do not. In fact, I'm more prone to take those same positions if I'm hanging out with some of my more leftist friends. In general, I just like to make people think about why they believe what they do and poke at inconsistencies/poor assumptions.
