The Process Forum - View Single Post - Conservatives Hate Obama More Than They Love America

Hell, even I can uphold that: Americans are overall good. I haven't had any more trouble with Americans on an individual basis than I have had with Canadians or the Dutch or Malaysians. I do not trust the American government though nor do I trust the American population to think critically regarding the expectations they have of their politicians. It's not something they've done historically.

There are so many democrats that accuse anyone who challenges the president's choices of being anti-America. Looking out for the best interest of one's nation is never anti-American. At the same time, the Republican party should be ashamed of what they welcomed with open arms: Sarah Palin. While the rest of the world stared, slack-jawed, the vast majority of the Republican party argued she was qualified despite knowing this woman was picked for everything but her qualifications.

What's the worst that could happen if every American treated presidential candidates like humans, not gods, and let go of the team "if you're not with us, you're against us" mentality? Being honest with one's self, though it can be uncomfortable, isn't a bad thing.
