The Republican Party looks across that aisle and sees treason.

The perfect end to an excellent post! Yes, yes, and yes, I am entirely baffled at the concept that a vote for a Democrat is somehow a vote to overthrow society, that all the people on that side of the political fence somehow don't want to serve their country having spent their working lives doing just that. It's just horrible, and now with added racist fearmongering!

aiee, the Republican Party boggles my mind, seriously. It is one thing to have some fanatics accusing Politicians on the Left Oh Em Gee of burning the flag in their sleep -- crazies are inevitable in all societies -- but the scope of it these days is utterly astounding in all of the bad ways. :/

Hee, your icon! I have only ever seen a handful of West Wing episodes, but they were enough to realise that President Barlet is quite awesome. *nods*

If you do not question your belief in something, you cannot love it. I come from the point of view that unquestioned faith in anything is no faith at all. Unconditional love with no regard for behavior is obsession but not love ( ... )

If that all means I'm anti-American, I couldn't be prouder, honestly. I'm damn proud of my heritage, of challenging my government, of being an intellectual. As I should be.
