46. I LOVE America. I hate some of the people in it & the govt we have
I love this country and that's why I'm here, fighting to take back the government.

This country allows free speech and that's why, despite the fact that I hate narrow minds and people who are ugly (in thought and action, not looks), I will defend their right to say what they believe. And, I will fight to change their minds and help them see the errors of their ways.

I hate people who cheat and lie and steal and hurt the rest of us and that's why I will raise my voice and see that they are prosecuted.

As a Christian, I hate those who kill and take from the poor and look down on others because they don't pray or love the way they do. I hate that they have hijacked my religion and are using it in all ways and manners that are the antithesis of what the religion and its namesake stand for. And that's why I work to counteract their actions daily.

I say these things with the utmost conviction because I too felt as you do. After the 2004 election, I looked into moving abroad. I felt this country was no longer the place for me. But, after some soul-searching I realized that these radical neo-cons are just like the Moral Majority - they are in fact an immoral minority. They just speak loudly and pretend they speak for many. But it doesn't take much to uncover them for what they really are and I owe it to myself, my country and the other citizens who won't speak up yet to expose them and help this country get back on a better path.

I love this country too much to leave it to them and when you come right down to it, if anyone's leaving it should be them - they are the ones who don't believe in democracy, not us.
