No, Dog, you are not alone. The issue really is that in all truth we are probably no longer a nation any longer. We are at least two nations, if not more with the Balkanization that has occurred. The Democrats, the Left, view those who believe in a stout America that defends itself with vigor, offensively if required, as the great enemy. They DO NOT believe that Islamists, or Al Qaeda, or anyone else is the enemy to be defeated: They believe that their internal political enemies are the enemy to be defeated.
The other America is the America that you know and remember...but it is only half of America now. The other half views America as needing to become the rotten corpse that is socialist Europe today. That's what they view as our future...a future with them in power completely, ruling over a failing and rotting nation that can be completely and utterly controlled to their [short-term] benefit.
This is why you are heartsick. That nation is gone, replaced by a fracturing Republic. It was happening before, but Bush's election in 2000 sent the Left over the edge. They will take power or destroy the nation utterly trying.
My gut is telling me that this is a Dim dare: someone is going to take out either Mothra, Pelosi, et al. Then they will crack down on our First Amendment Right, such as this forum. This is all designed to split the country, to make it weaker. Take my word for it - Mothra is over the top for a reason, and the reason is to make the conservatives angry enough to take the law into their hands.
