Marie,
Do you not know anything?
You wrote of our Founding Fathers while responding to Rovian:
"I disagree. Not all of the Founding Fathers were military vets, but they certainly were patriots."
Rovian did not say in order to be a PATRIOT one had to be a military vet.
Speaking to Patriot Rovian wrote:
"As a veteran your 'handle' is insulting to me and all others vets, it is a lie and you need to change it."
So you might try to make your responses, in the future, relavent or related to that which you are responding. You certainly didn't do that in this case.
You can try to find fault with Rovian all you want, but he was right, correct, spot-on, accurate, errorless, faultless, and I am insulted as well with him using the name.
wordnetweb defines the word Patriot as:
"one who loves and defends his or her country"
It is true the word defends doesn't mean literally to fight for.
But the word, "Defends," does mean to:
"argue or speak in defense of;" or, "be on the defensive; act against an attack"
"protect against a challenge or attack; "Hold that position behind the trees!"
"Hold the bridge against the enemy's attacks"
"fight: fight against or resist strongly;"
"champion: protect or fight for as a champion"
AND ALL OF THAT RELATES TO BEING A PATRIOT OF OUR COUNTRY.
That guy, from Wichita, who calls himself Patriot has never missed an opportunity to tear-down what has built this country. He finds fault with "everything" real patriots hold dear. There is nothing about him that is patriotic.
Treasonous is a more befitting word.
I know that when Rovian has wrote, That Guy calling himself Patriot, is offensive to him and other vets.
Here's one of the OTHER vets raising my hand.
Then that guy who says he's a patriot wrote to Rovian:
"I think it is rather unbecoming for you to categorize patriots in the manner that you have."
How dare you! You arrogant pompous @ss.
Have you no shame?
