Your remarks show a profound disrespect for those who sacrificed their all: so that YOU could have liberty.

Speaking of hyperbole, you've done an excellent job here.

For you edification, my great great great great great grandfather was an aide de camp to George Washington during the American Revolutionary War and at the Continental Congress, so yes, I do, in fact, know exactly what we're all about in this country.

Your need to denigrade anybody who is living with the facts as we have them today speaks volumes about you, not me.

It’s obvious that if the founding fathers were here today: you would consider THEM your enemies.

Again, your need to totally destroy anybody who doesn't follow your line of thinking shows the depth you will sink to to win a converstaion.

Frankly, there are no words to begin to describe the tenor of your remarks. Disgusting and revolting come to mind. Perhaps others can add to the list.

Get over yourself.

MY line of thinking? OUR loyalty to the founding fathers -- what they have bequeathed US -- supersedes other loyalties. This does NOT mean that WE have no other loyalties. It meens that loyalty to the founding fathers -- thier ideals and principles -- should serve as our primary sourse of guidance in these troubled times. Perhaps you misunderstood me.

I have NO NEED to denigrate you, or anyone, sir. I too, like you, am trying to live: “with the facts as we have them today.”

Well, one would think that you would be less dismissive -- and more respectful -- toward one (myself) whom holds your: “great great great great great grandfather” in such high esteem.

Look, sometimes I’m rash. If you want to think I’m a bad guy: go ahead. Perhaps I’m oversensitive about America: because I don’t want people like you to lose it. If I didn’t love this country, do you think I would get so passionate about it! People that don’t care: sleep like babies. Sometimes in the heat of battle it’s difficult to be as tactful as I would like to be. I thought you were attacking the founding fathers, so I struck. IF I mistook you for the enemy (if I overreacted) than please accept my apologies.
