Nom de Forum,
When you spoke of an "American born loser" in another forum that wasn't jingoism? BTW I did notice you didn't contradict a single fact I posted. Just another tirade. Can't you just calm down? Seriously. I don't want to argue with you and your wild allegations are baseless. And do you seriously think I need a French lesson on something as simple as "name of forum" (which is what you said - it should actually be "nom du forum" if you wanted it to mean what you said it means - those French prepositions are tricky).
Seriously though. Just calm down. I will ignore your endless stream of insults if you just calm down. You do know that most of the things I said were intended as jokes, right? I tried to deflect your attack with humor. That's where the "100 yard surrender champions" thing came from. How can you not see that? I didn't attack your precious France. There are things I have a problem with but I have a problem with lots of things. It ain't like the Soviets for pity's sake. Now there was a group that a person can hold a grudge against.
Cee Zee I was not attempting to give you a lesson in French. I was rebutting your assertion that my forum name has anything to do with jingoism. Apparently you need another lesson in what is not jingoism. You have, as you have many times in this thread, taken something out of context and therefor distorted reality to promulgate your opinion. You are accusing me of jingoism by claiming my use of the phrase “American born loser” was to denigrate Americans. Here is a link to a description of jingoism.

Here is what I posted in this thread,
http://www.thehighroad.org/showthread.php?t=774279 , about possible “ISIS” attacks at Malls:
“If such an attack occurs at a mall it will probably be carried out by some soiled brat, under 30 years of age, American born, loser who decides society is not giving him the admiration he believes he deserves”.
I was expressing that it would probably not be an attack by a foreign national. Obviously I am not denigrating Americans or “judging one's own country as superior to others” in an extreme expression of nationalism. Your failure to comprehend this is either one or more of the following:
An improbability given your claimed level of education and demonstrated command of the English language and probably an act of deception.
An example of self-deception due to motivated reasoning to excuse your engaging in denigration of the French.
Proof you are a very poorly educated “historian” since you do not understand the colloquial meaning of jingoism.
Cee Zee, I am a native born United States citizen who is not of French descent so your question implying jingoism is absurd. You also keep implying I love the French, am French, or have a connection with the French. I don’t to all three. Several times I have visited France. I actually find the French to be quite annoying at times but not as annoying as your expression of bigotry toward the French. I don’t need to “calm down”. You need to “clam-up” about the French because you are just digging yourself in to a deeper hole with your foolishness. So you were joking about the French eh? What will you say next in an attempt to obfuscate your expressions of bigotry, “Some of my best friends are French”?
