my brother, who is a university educated consumate professional and a staunch "anybody but bush" (aka sKerry) supporter has told me in no uncertain terms that the united states needed to have its economy voluntarily truncated, its military voluntarily downsized to a glorified border patrol, its nuclear weapons destroyed and its navy scrapped for metal, all because we have been too successful, too aggressive (we are the worlds only superterrorist state, just look at the atrocity of Hiroshima), and we have polluted the worlds environment with our greed and corporate strength.
These radical positions I believe, are anti-american and equivalent to hard treason and further, deeply held convictions for many sKerry supporters and americans ashamed to be americans, and no doubt shared in no small measure by the candidate himself.
My brother lives in a very nice custom designed house (he is an architect) in a wealthy suburb, drives a 04 Jeep Cherokee and a Volvo wagon, is putting two kids through university and has money left over to go to Hawaii every winter and he wants everyone else to sacrifice away their wealth and greed and says he does his part by donating a percentage of his utility bill to advance the technology of alternate energy and he throws his salmon back into the rivers.
He is a typical liberal, believes strongly in the "anybody but bush" doctrine and no matter how hard I try to convice him, he will not move to canada even though he says its a more advanced society....but I keep trying.
I think what eisenhower had to say was just fine, I read it and Im not swayed by his opinion or his view, there are plenty of people supporting either candidate and no one individual is going to swing me. I swing myself thanks.
