Sure it did, but did you even read my post? Obviously you are missing the point. TRUE, GENUINE dissent is different than pure hatred and childish whining. An objective, genuine, intellectual idea that opposes the norm can be great for this country, and can lead to a merge of ideals and views, usually with a viable outcome. The crowd that screams at formal political events, spews hatred about our troops, makes juvenile rants about policies, and judges people of opposing views is nowhere near true dissent.
You don't honestly think that the founders of this country were doing anything more than whining about their taxes, do you? In point of fact, if the British had just lowered our tax rates then we'd still be part of the UK.
RULE, BRITANNIA! BRITANNIA, RULE THE WAVES. BRITONS NEVER WILL BE SLAVES!
It's just pathetic that you feel that way. You are no better than the closed minded liberals that you dispise.
When the liberal movement I despise seeks to tear down the family traditions and the moral backbone of this country, seeks to distribute wealth to all, directs policies and programs to equalize every citizen, thinks that we live in a village, and seeks to erase our sovereignty for the greater good of the global community, then what middle ground is there to reach?
You have clearly succumbed to a centrist mindset, which is code for liberal progressive.
Soldiers that rape Japanese girls = losers.
Soldiers that tortured prisoners (Abu Ghraib, anyone?) = losers.
Male soldiers that sexually harrass and rape female soldiers = losers.
Officers who let Walter Reed Medical Center go to pot = losers.
Officers who discharge soldiers for PTSD but claim other reasons = losers.
Shall I go on?
I hate to break it to you, but you find this same crap in the civilian sector, and probably with far greater frequency.

You've bought into the lies of the far right hook, line, and sinker. I truly feel sorry for you and for our nation. There was a point in time, not that long ago, that politicians and the public they represent felt that compromise was a good thing. Need I remind you that George Bush campaigned as a "uniter"?

Sounds like something that might have crossed George III's mind when reading about the Boston Tea Party!
