Firstly, on topic, I have to address the one thing that most people seem content to ignore: the original poster really, really hates cars.
Question for the OP: If you hate cars, and by logical extension any mechanical vehicle, how in the world are you going to visit anywhere outside of reasonable walking distance?
Now, for the off-topic bit:
Alright, this tells me a few things about you, sir. First, by capitalizing White, you identify strongly with your race. Not negative in itself, but an odd enough gesture to bear further scrutiny.
Second, you declare yourself proudly to be Republican, but fail to be any more specific than that. The Republican party is comprised of at least three major factions that I can see - the Religious Right, the Economic Conservatives, and the Goldwater Republicans/Libertarians. Which faction do you belong to?
Third, you specify gun-owner as a qualifier. That says to me that you're a card-carrying NRA member and distrustful of anyone who suggests laws to control guns. Correct assumption?
Fourth, you say you're a strong supporter IN ALL CAPS of our current lame-duck President. Fine, you're entitled to your opinion, but why specifically do you support him?
Fifth, you say you love your country, i.e. the U.S. of A. Alright. What about it do you love? A country is an extremely complex thing, comprised of thousands of nuances of culture. It is patently impossible to love all of it, as many of these nuances conflict with each other. So, I say again...what part do you love?

Now, for the off-topic bit:
I'm a 50-year-old White male, Catholic, Republican, gun-owner, retired-US-military, capitalist and a strong supporter of GEORGE W. BUSH. And I love my country, to boot.
