My facebook feed is essentially blown up with calls to arms by my idiot uncles, and wailing rants about how the American constitution is dead. I've also seen a few people announce that they're moving to Canada to escape a socialist healthcare system. LOLZ!
When my cousin (who thinks it's the best thing ever that her church got a Starbucks in it) posted a picture of Jesus holding the constitution, I couldn't resist reminding her the Roe vs. Wade is a part of the constitution now. She argued that vehemently. It was hilarious. Then she told me that if she had it her way, my children and I would never see a doctor again, exclaiming that only Americans deserve to see doctors, and that I am not American because I "hate god and want to kill babies".
The Americans who stand in opposition of The Affordable Care Act should definitely boycott healthcare. They should stand by their principles and pray that jesus cures their cancer. That would be fine with me.
I know this is kind of personal but it sounds to me that it's not you that has hate. But it is her that hates herself and decided to overcompensate for it. Also she has no idea what being american is, I believe americans are just people who are supposed to stand up for their beleifs no matter cost or consenquences. Because being an american isn't just being part of our country, it's an idea and set of value's.
Live every day as if already dead, that way you're not disappointed when you are.
