I think that is un-american.

I don't wish for any damage on this country. Since us on the left were disenfranchised, the election was rigged, we can't have too much effect on things. It's all in the hands of the right.
I've spent the past three years cringing at every bit of damage inflicted on what was a great country. I cringed as the religious right destroyed civil liberties in the name of fighting terrorism, to where now they want to even consider people who protest terrorists and put them in secret trials without legal representation. I cringed as he sent thousands and thousands of young men and women to uncertain fate based on half-truths and exaggerations. I cringed as one cronyist economic policy after another, seemingly without rhyme or reason, took a strong economy and blasted it to hell and back.
To hear people rushing out "un-American" is such a Mccarthyist word it makes my skin crawl, my country right or wrong nationalism. Is supporting all of this disaster worth it because of a strange perception that you might pay a few bucks less in taxes?
