Real patriots already had flags prior to 9-11.
Well at least something good came out of it.
Fine, then the Islamofacists will kill him AND his daughter.
I was a life long republican but.......
Any one got a spoon, I'm feeling sick.
Read Job.
I still do not understand the connection between your patriotism and your screwed-up life.
Yes, the wreckage and devastation caused by America's long term illicit affair with that tramp, Socialism, is found in many places. Family law is one of them.
This guy is no longer a patriot because of a bad divorce? Are you kidding me? This guy has some serious issues.
Since Jan 30, 2005
What the hell does the family law system have to do with WWIV? The author seems to be going through a bout of severe depression and is taking it out on our beloved country. If you don't like the system, then work to change it! As for spouses, choose carefully. Being an engineer, I drew up a specification list for my wife and CHARACTER was at the top of the list. It took me 5 years and over 300 dates to find her. I have two wonderful childdren in college now.
Anyone who lost a loved one on 9/11/01 would gladly change places with Marc.
I'm sure they'd rather be having a tough time in court...seems pretty small in the scheme of things.
IMHO.
The way I read it, he feels like the system screwed him and therefore the since that one part of the country is messed up, he cannot respect the rest of it. Since there is no moral high ground to him, because the family court system is broken, there is no reason to get worked up about everything else.
At least, thats the way I understood it.
Sometimes, bad things happen to good people. You are entitled to pursue happiness. Whether or not you get it is up for grabs. Life isn't fair; blow your nose, quit whining and get over it.
He screwed up his life and it's the country's fault.
To quote Al Swearingen on "Deadwood": "What made you think there's a way to right every wrong, Wu? Did you come to this country for justice or to make your way in the world?"
yep. the corruption of the courts in this country is real and harmful. but people tend to turn a blind eye until it is themselves who are abused by the fraternity of lawyers and judges. we let it happen. we're slaves to the rulings of these little gods who think their word is law. we are now a nation of men, not a nation of Law. welcome to the real world.
His beliefs are pretty shallow, but here's the bottom line:
He has the Democratic mind-set that the government is supposed to take care of all HIS needs and problems. When he found out that he has to be responsible for his own fate, he feels like America has let him down.
Good luck and good personal fortune to all you *real* patriots out there. I take little offense at your insults. If you had been dragged along with your children through the disgraceful 'family justice' system and had your liberty and right to pursue happiness removed through the seizure of your earning capacity (unfairly) and restricted access to your child (and them to you) would better understand that sticks and stones from you *true* patriots pale in sting. American justice is supposed to be blind, not stupid or malicious as the family courts are. And the injustices are largely driven through Federal mandates.
For all of you on your high American soapboxes of righteousness, your inability to see the direct violation of the equal protection clause of the 14th amendment belies your education about the freedoms this country was founded upon. There is no greater natural freedom than that which grants one the opportunity to be a parent to their child. Society is suffering greatly right now as a result of these violations, and will continue to suffer incrementally as the years go by with this unresolved. The biggest danger that faces this country is the breakdown of the family unit in conjunction with the government-facilitated incentivizaton of the same. Go about your patriotic business, though. I guess an uneducated patriot is sufficient for Uncle Sam's beckoning...
The time is coming for your beloved descendents and loved ones to experience the travesty for themselves and have their rights to be a parent, or as a child to have significant access to both parents, forcibly abrogated by the state you so fervently defend. Enjoy your freedom, my friends... Until you are yourselves caught up in the pain either directly or peripherally (in the same way most Europeans didn't understand the true tragedy and danger of 9/11 because it didn't happen on their soil), that is. That time will come... Either for you or those you care deeply about...
