re: Hatred is a power emotion

Just seems odd fighting for your oppressor.

A country has to come together on some basis. Some, like Japan, share the same ethnicity and culture.

Here we did it a different way. We dropped the ethnicity requirement. We dropped the culture retirement.

All fine and of a nobler design. But the idea was to share ideas about freedom and governance ... the only things that truly unite and can truly break us apart.

But when they removed that, the last glue holding us together, they knew it would fly apart. When they started teaching grievance and division, they knew what would happen to our country.

So now, by what reasoning do we join them in their wars? The flag? And how is it that we suppose our interventions over there are of a nobler kind when the same ones who "lead" us have eaten away our unity ... like a cancer.

So what are we fighting for. We're are feeling a pride like an ampute feels a leg long ago cut away. We are feeling the memory of a pride and not pride in being American.

Do not support their wars. They haven't the moral standing to lead us into war. The evidence is all around us that their nature is destructive. If they would destroy our lives and futures and undermind the greatest freest country in the world, what worse cruelty do they have in store for our so-called enemies abroad.

No more war. No more following their lead.
