He doesn't like the USA, but he doesn't dislike it enough to leave.

Good point. The Democrats have set this country back by fueling the racial hatred. I guess they long for the good ol' days of slavery and segregation. They are trying to turn the Star Spangled Banner into the Stars and Bars.

you could say he LOVES the usa and won't stand back and let it go down the tubes. he's willing to risk his fame and fortune to make a statement that we need to clean things up. maybe he went about it the wrong way, but he's doing what he believes is right.

Doesn't sound like it.

He doesn't like the government. Cowards cut and run. Patriots stand and fight against tyranny.
