See, Mark Stein is from Canada. Not that Canada is an oppressed country at all but being from outside, for some reason, gives us - First: an IMMENSE love for this country, versus the hate so many “natural born Americans” have for their country, America - Second - we can see things that you don’t see because you believe so much than being an American is enough to save our country - it’s not anymore.
The shiite is going to hit the fan. I’m in your camp. I have been for a while. I’m not going to commit suicide but, I have a very little hope for my country these days. 2010 and 2012 voting may help a tiny bit if the majority vote for true conservatives, but Republicans/conservatives still have to work in a framework of people and politicians that want more giveaways. There’s not going to be any knight in shining armour to save the day. I’m so glad you posted your thread because I’ve been wanting to do a similar one for a long time.
