Interesting that many libs don’t like to be included in the “we” that is the people of the United States of America. I have noticed upon occasion, an opposite phenomenon. The wish, particularly by sports fans, to be included in the “we” that is their favorite team.

I chuckle when I hear a caller on one of the sports call-in shows remark that “once we brought in our closer, we really shut them down,” or “once we started blocking, we ran them off the field.” I think the “we” is okay if it’s your home high school or college, but it’s a bit much when using it for a favorite professional team, even one from a distant city.

Main stream media employees are committed and avowed ‘agent provocateurs’ - trouble makers with no stake in the fight save to fan the flames and profit from everyone elses misery.
