I'm an American, I've done nothing wrong, and yet the ground I happily trod upon every day is tarnished. The national government makes a mistep, and thus various other political achievments of the past and present are shifted aside. Congratulations on your pessimistic selectivism; I hope it gets you far in life.
And while I don't support him myself, I've spoken with various Bush supporters of actual intelligence. Suprising, I know, but they're around.
