weeping for brunnhilde
I don't think there's much at all to what Gary says. Elections are by definition patriotic affairs. Which is, I suppose why American turnout is typically the lowest in the developed world. We're not really a patriotic people. And this is why people like the people here who apologize for Rev Wright get it confused from the start. They seem to equate dissent with patriotism. It's not, it's dissent, that's just being a concerned citizen. But the notion that "Everything Always Sucks" aka the Liberal Ethos, isn't really the same thing as patriotism.
