I doubt it's any more embarrassing than to constantly hear from neo-"Confederates" that we are living in an evil, tyrannical nation.

You've never read anything from this poster about tyranny in this country, so please stop lumping everyone together. Thats called stereotyping and is usually associated with a closed mind. Imperfect, yeah (anything involving humans IS)...but its still the best country going. The tyranny most discussed on these threads occurred during the 19th century...relax. The ability that we have to freely debate such issues is a tribute to the fact that we live in a country with very little tyranny.
