You essentially have a couple of major camps that are pushing what they believe is best for our nation. There are good arguments coming out of both camps.
Regardless of how we feel about a persons political stance, if they are doing what they do out of a genuine love of their country and truly believe it is for the best...then they are a patriot. It matters not that I disagree with them. All this means is that we both have different ideas about what is best for our nation.
I am sure I am going to get called down on this...but it's just my take on it. |
Probably not. Its a good post. I imagine more people will attack the OP, than you. You provided a great, non-partisan rebuttal that cannot be refuted. Others will not, and we'll have a lively crossfire with all the usual players.
