The 51% of Americans who voted for W to engage in a second term of destruction, are NOT my countrymen. The nation which endorses torture is NOT my nation. The government which has taken away our rights guaranteed under the Constitution is NOT my government. The people who sit on their hands and allow this to continue are NOT my people.
On my father's side, my ancestory goes back to the Revolutionary War. I could be a member of the DAR if I felt like sitting around drinking tea with my pinkie extended. My family sat out the civil war, and my grandfather fought in WWI, as my father fought in WWII, Korea, and Vietnam.
The principles and ideals for which our ancestors were willing to lay down their lives have been tossed aside and violated for the sake of expediency and the gain of a few who are out, not for this country, but for themselves, instead. None of us should sanction what is going on. It is time to make it OUR country again, not theirs.
Strong words, but I feel very strongly about what has happened to what once used to be MY country.
