I'm sick of slogans and jingoism...
I'm sick of good words being corrupted. I don't think the lexicon of patriotism will ever be the same again after the * regime is gone. The Republicans have so gutted and stripped this nation of any shred of dignity and integrity, that the stench and shame of their actions will be present in the world for generations to come. It is mindboggling that these people could line up so readily and wilfully behind focus group phrases and destroy the nation.

1. Well said but for this. They think power is the thing
It is hard to get 'lets reason together' with 'shoot to kill' Even if I like to read history I can not always prove reason is the best yet I do believe it.
