Actually, I love this country. Moreso than the likes of you will ever understand. Unlike you, I've actually lived behind the Iron curtain and can therefore appreciate what we have here to its fullest extent. Furthermore, I respect all veterans that put their lives on the line. It's not Kerry's service record that makes me shutter. If he were just a Veteran that did his job then, at worst, I'd have no response to him, no matter what his opinions were when he came back from the war.
That being said, the reason I hate the idea of a guy like Kerry coming into power is that he will inevitably limit my ability to live my life and provide for my family to the fullest extent of reasonable possibilities.
Estate taxes, income taxes, the inevitable socialist regulations he will almost certainly impose on the health care industry--these are the things that make me hate the idea of him being in charge. My family left a dead-end system once in the last 22 years. It would make me very sad to see the same trends arising here.
No matter what happened in Vietnam decades ago, Kerry is NOT a representation of what it is to be American. Repeat, in deference to you STRK, Kerry is NOT America Personified. Bush, while far, far from perfect, is far closer.
I do not hate this country, and shame on you for saying it. You're a simplistic little man for allowing yourself to put such declarations down in writing simply because I do not see eye-to-eye with you. I seriously hope it was a lapse in judgement on your part.
