Quote from IShopAtPublix:
The country chose W in 2004 even though he did everything in his power to run away from danger in his youth. Too many red necks believed W was more "american" than kerry even though Kerry went into a very dangerous part of the world.
I stand by my point. The concept of "love for one's country" cannot be quantified, and as such, is essentially useless for comparing political candidates.
N.B If you knew more of US history, you would realize that the "founders" were VASTLY different in their beliefs.
Jefferson favored a society of independent agrarians and favored france over britain
Hamilton was an industrialist and imperialist and essentially wanted US to be a dominant world power and gravitated toward Britain
Adams was of the same (federalist) party as Hamilton but despised the man deeply (jefferson despised Adams, Madison despised Hamilton too)
etc., etc.
