In national as well as personal life, sometimes we need our friends to pull us up short for a reality check. People and nations can become so personally involved in an issue that they loose all objectivity. Thank-you both Dana and Jag for your astute observations. Neither one of you is that invested in the social system within the US, so you are able to see far more clearly what is going on.
Conservatives in this country have too much to lose by opening up their eyes or stopping to listen. For once uncover your ears and stop shouting "America the Beautiful" at the top of your lungs to drown out all other voices. You might learn something if you did. (OK, I know the conservative rottwilers of the board will now attack with all their teeth. I'm bracing myself...)
