The Socialistic Shit-Case

[Thorne]

Compassion has been lost. I love how, THorne, you say that you are compassionate when your views express just the opposite. Saying it does not make it so.

Showing "compassion" for every person, deserving or not, does not make one compassionate, either. Gullible comes to mind. I can feel sympathy for someone who loses his home due to unseen calamities. But a rich man who builds his home on the beach has to expect a hurricane to take it sooner or later. No compassion for him!

THorne's opinions are the reason we are hated throughout the world. And the administration that is luckily on its way out DID express MMI's views that AMericans believe they are better than anyone else. With NO basis for that view.

Ah, yes. The country that does more to help people than any other. The country that led the fight to get relief into Myanmar during their recent calamity. The country that leaps to send searchers and doctors and workers to countries destroyed by earthquakes or volcanic eruptions. True, far too many Americans think they are better than anyone else. So, too, do people of other countries. Most people believe their country is the best. It's taught to us from birth. But don't include me in them. I've seen the limitations of my country. Don't blame the people or the country, blame the politicians. They are why people hate us!

I love my country and hope we can get back to being a country worthy of that love. A country that takes care of its own and deals with ALL the criminals, including the ones that have run this country into the ground.

There are still good people in this country, but their voices have been silenced for a long time.

Here, at least, we are in agreement.

As an American that loves his country and thinks that maybe we are getting back on the right track I apologize for people like Thorne and the arrogant folks that have run this country in the last 8 years.

This saddens me. I love my country just as much as anyone. I don't love what it's become. I am a fairly solitary person who believes in personal responsibility and hard work. I believe that this country, this world, would be better if more people felt the same way. If that is "arrogant", then excuse me for breathing.
