[Osborn F Enready]

I don't hate America, I hate what it has become.

I don't choose to leave because it is my right, and obligation to change it, since it has deviated outside its limited scope of authority.

I don't respect the people who say things like "love it or leave it", since they obviously have no idea what Americas history is, or was meant to be as a nation.

This is a self-governed nation, and until tyranny takes over and crushes the resistance by force or exclusion, I am going to be a big fat thorn in the authoritarian sides that have seemed to dominate the extreme left and right of American politics.

I have as much right to be here as any born citizen, and I have served which is more than a lot of you "pro gubbmint" types can say, though some of you have served, with honor.

Perhaps you should check that attitude with the Bill of Rights?
Perhaps you could fight your own political battles instead of relying on big money corporations to support your fight with campaign money and rigged media?
Perhaps you could actually bear the burden of your authoritarian wet dreams which you seek to impose on all those not cardboard copy like you, in every way?

Then again, maybe not.

I could care less, the door works for you as easily as me, and chances are if you support the bi-partisan monopoly, you have more money than I too, which means its easier for you to go. Ta, we won't miss you.

I believe your side has been issued this chance before?

“If ye love wealth better than liberty, the tranquility of servitude better than the animating contest of freedom, go home from us in peace. We ask not your counsels or arms. Crouch down and lick the hands which feed you. May your chains set lightly upon you, and may posterity forget that ye were our countrymen.”
-Samuel Adams, speech at the Philadelphia State House, August 1, 1776.
