“I put more faith in the patriotism of our military.”
These days the Lon Horiuchis may outnumber the Robert E. Lees.
Some of us see the glass as half full most of the time and others always see it as half empty.
As long as it would be individuals or households, yes the Lon Horiuchis would have a bad effect on those few. My contention is that before that got beyond an incident or two my state, Texas, would stand with us and the entire State would be too big for the few Lon Horiuchis to win.
Not exactly a fair comparison. And it may not make the point you think you're making.
