Living overseas makes one appreciate what the USA is, in spite of its faults. Wake up and see it. I see it, and I see the Bushies hellbent on stealing the greatness of America for a tiny criminally-minded elite. America became the envy of the world because of the vibrant middle class that the New Deal made possible, and the enlightened internationalism that the FDR and Truman Adminstrations ushered in. By the time that the Military-Industrial Complex murdered John F. Kennedy, the die had been re-cast and the U.S. entered into a new realm of egregiously self-dealing foreign adventures, and by the time Reagan/Bush rolled into Washington, the wrecking crews of the middle class were given extraordinary leeway to start to dismantle everything that made the U.S. the wonder of the world domestically. In this present day, I'm the conservative, hoping for a return to the wise and sane policies that FDR helped to usher in to make us great. And George Bush is a radical and thoughtless destroyer of everything that made this nation the beacon to the world. I don't tear down my nation. I resist the destruction of my nation by a false and criminal occupant in the White House. "To announce that there must be no criticism of the president, or that we are to stand by the President right or wrong, is not only unpatriotic and servile, but is morally treasonable to the American public." --President Theodore Roosevelt, 1918
