I opened up my wallet and supported the war against terror for what the terrorists did to New York. New York in turn spits on my beliefs and values. Never again will I care what happens in New York.

I used to care about Israel. I believed the Jews suffered horribly in WWII. I felt the world was becoming increasingly antisemitic. But my concern about Israel is met by New York Jews who vote far left. Why should I care what happens to their religious homeland if they don't?

I have tried all my life to buy American, and have never bought a car that wasn't a GMC, Ford, or Chrysler product. But why? The rust belt doesn't reflect my values; votes far left. I'm buying a new car this year, and I'm going to free myself of the enmeshment's created by my concern for Americans who spit on my beliefs and values.

After a good trompin', one must dust themselves off and ask why they got so soundly tromped. I got tromped because I cared too much about the affairs of this nation and the world's. I take responsibility for that and I need to fix it.

Just before he died, my WWII vet father told me that if he'd known how America would turn out, he'd never have fought for it. I don't mean to demean our good soldiers in harms way, but I'm coming around to the belief that they're wasting their time fighting for a country (and I don't mean the country is Iraq) that doesn't believe there's a war to fight. Next time, NY can use their law enforcement process to fight their own battle, and open up their own ATM's; I once supported them but they, making me their fool, abandoned me!

President Bush and America were there for NY when it needed us but NY is not there for us when we need them. I feel the same way as you do. Except I love America and I believe she is still worth fighting for.

I echo your sentiments entirely. I don't know if I'll follow through with my threats or not, or if I'm just tired from fighting the fight....
