You are scaring me in what appears to me as a willful desire to misinterpret and create division and smear people who disagree with you. I made the specific comment about my father to show that I was speaking tongue in cheek to say that it is wrong to say that someone who despises the policies of our government - as Bush did, as my father did, as a lot of people despised the policies of the prior administration - should be confused with those who despise out country, in response to your posts that the latter group should leave our country That was an attempt at a humorous response to separate out the issue of those who despise certain policies with those who despise the country. Kakki said: Why would you want to eliminate half of the population of the U.S.? I am having a real tough time with your replies. You are better than that. So - go ahead and say more of what you want, I am out of this conversation as I am not willing to have my words twisted so. Once again, when you spin what is said to demonize those who disagree with you as you are doing to me now, I out of respect for all your many contributions to the JMDL and Joni fans everywhere, I am now out of this conversation.
