I am in "full agreement" with your "entire post". Being an American by choice, you do not have to do much to convince me what a great country the US is. None the same, it is also important to consider that as part of its political system, the people get to go out every 4 years to listen to what the political parties have to say and then to decide for themselves what to believe and what not to believe before they cast their vote. And, as we witnessed in 2000, in keeping with the laws of this land, when the Supreme Court interpreted the existing laws, we all folded and went back to nation building. During the 9/11 attack, we all remember the scene on the steps of the Capitol where we stood not separate as Demos and Repubs but as a nation. But now, we have the right to question the actions of our leaders without the fear or insult of being branded unpatriotic. We have the right to oppose any weapons system program without the fear and smear of being branded unpatriotic. We have the right to question our leaders on why they make it easy for corporations to take jobs overseas and add insult to injury by having the American worker train a foreign worker before that job is taken away from the American worker. So it is not un-American, neither is it unpatriotic to take part in the democratic process which we all cherish and are proud of in front of the world community.
