Diana,
I am new to this thread, so please excuse me.. But I just read your remark..""You, sir, are a great American" and it was, as I understand it, to a Bush supporter..
This seems so typical of Republicans on SI.. Anybody that is not conservative, politically speaking, is not a "Great American" . I beg to differ, Greatly.. For so many reasons..
A true American, embraces all.. not just middle to upper class White people, voting to save a couple of bucks on taxes.. It also embraces our environment.. Our wonderful "life support system".. not just a few National parks to drive to the overlook, glance over and leave tissue flowers along the way, for the "underclass" to pick up..
The America, I believe in, ALSO embraces ALL of human rights, beside the above mentioned: minorities, women ,gays, etc.. and yes all of the other disenfranchised,, that have given up hope, for what ever reason.. for they play a role.. as being part of this great pluralism..
And so this is my respectful opinion..
