They really do hate America; they live with an image and delusions that are far from American values. They can't deal with it.

The dark right wing (not talking about the moderate conservatives here) always been a part of this country, and indeed those who preceded our union. Its just that today they have conquered multiple forms of print, analog and digital media to express themselves.

What scares me is the explosive arms and ammo race in the U.S. promoted by the right as an ultimate solution, not their words.

When I was a kid, they hid under hoods and burned crosses. Now they can hide under anonymous IDs on forums like SI, and plenty of others. Its a virtual hood and cross burning.

Don't worry, these guys never get to me, I've been around the right since I was an infant.

They don't understand and it isn't their fault. They just can't see it.

So they just react by slinging whatever mud comes to mind. They like doing that.

The internet has allowed us to analyse this mindset with a new clarity.

What I can't figure out is why the same phenomenon does not occur as much in places like Denmark, New Zealand, Austrailia and lots of Europe?
