He loved this country and didn't deserve how that fucking low life treated him.

(11,949 posts)And once I realized I was really a Social Democrat never liked his positions.
But I never questioned his patriotism. And not the fake kind like flying a flag on your house. Dude put it all on the line for the country. As his dad and grandad before him.
When he gave the entire republican world a big fuck you by giving the thumbs down on repealing the ACA I lost the ability to hate him.
He cemented his legacy as a maverick then.
