Perhaps my original joke was in poor taste and for that I apologize, but the core meaning of the comment, as explained, I believe to be true. I’m content to have others judge my comments. Of course, it is a might difficult for you to claim the high ground when your posts are laced with personal insults and attacks. “Rules for me and rules for thee” – is that at work here?
I would like to ask one last question though in order to clarify one of your quotes in comment #463,”…when did YOU do anything for US? Anything like swearing that the Constitution of the United States means more to you than your very life?”
So, in your eyes, based upon this quote and considering the context of you comment #423, are a person’s opinions are less legitimate because they have not served in the armed forces?
I honor and greatly appreciate your service, but the fact you have served and taken an oath doesn’t make you automatically right. Lee Harvey Oswald served, but he was also a terrible person. I’m not comparing you to Oswald, I’m just pointing out that service doesn’t give a person automatic legitimacy. You are free to look down upon the law abiding, hard working, tax paying citizenry all you like, but I won’t. I honor all that work hard for this country. I don’t expect nor do I ask you to apologize to me, but won’t you at least apologize to all the other hard working American’s out there you dismissed with your comment?
I’m sorry you are such an angry person. I’m sorry you feel contempt for me and others like me. I won’t try to change your mind nor will I respond to any of your future comments. You are free to believe in conspiracies and to be consumed by anger. I cannot stop you, but neither will I take part in your obsession.
I suspect you have a long and bitter road ahead as you will likely continue to cling tightly to this issue and never receive the resolution you so strongly desire. Good luck.
