    The problem is, there are no patriots with any power left in this country. The country is essentially owned by multinational corporations who don't give a shit about the US or any other country, they just go wherever they get the most tax benefits and political influence. Nobody gives a shit about patriotism, or morals, or decency, or respect for human life. They only care about one thing: money, and the power money brings.

      Hey, this would seem to exclude people for whom patriotism means their worship of money and power!

        Ah, true. I guess I'm a bit naive :)

        So, Republicans?

        Yes, I have stopped using "Repuketards", even if it's appropriate. You're welcome.

          Oh, c'mon! It covers the dominant strain of Democrats just as well. Clinton's hypocrisy around Snowden is far and away more offensive than unapologetic, grandstanding national security disasters like Hatch, Issa and Chaffetz. In other news, I think the Republicans among us must think all the more of you for letting them brand their particular flavor of Kabuki theater. Obliged to you.
