"these are all anti-American. You really cannot argue about it." No they are not. It is the duty of every American to be critical. To ask questions. And to even take the wrong stance at time. Our system is ill-served by having people walk lock step behind the government. To never question. Questions are always good. Even the dumb, the naive, the stupid ones. If nothing else, you force an examination and an assessment. And that is never bad.

I didn't say there are none. I said you [the Left] refuse to acknowledge the country's positives. Take tejek for example. When have you ever seen him post anything positive about the country? Even Obama, "Mr. Positive", has done nothing but bash America and tell us how great it will be when HE takes over. His sorry-assed wife actually had the gall to claim she had never been "proud" of America in her adult life! You have no idea how gov'ts need to be run.......people in Seattle constantly critique this city looking for ways to make it better.....and it shows. Its why its one of the most successful cities in the country. And yet it makes mistakes. When people opted to go with a monorail to service my part of the city, I went ballistic. I was highly critical......not because I don't love Seattle but I didn't want it making a huge mistake. I lost....and had to suffer through three years of spending on a monorail that will never be built. We lost three years that could have gone towards building our light rail system. Because I was critical of that episode in the city's history did not make me anti Seattle.....none of my friends accused me of being anti Seattle. That's all your sick shit. And the reason for that is you don't want your motivations questioned.......you don't want to go through the democratic process on important issues because you fear you will lose. For the last 8 years your attitudes have prevailed and it shows. The country is in a mess. You need to shut up and observe.......you might learn something about successful governance.
