Good, bad indifferent, I still love America
And I will always want the best for her, and as a consequence, everyone else who lives here.

So, it's not hard for me to notice how exclusive, selfish, angry and strange the teabaggerati are.

For a nation of immigrants, they're not very hospitable to ethnic diversity.

For those who profess to follow Christ, they're not very Christ-like.

Despite requests that they not be depicted as racists, they feel strangely at ease with racist rhetoric and imagery.

For a group of people who care so much about the issues of the day, they seem very unaware of the facts, figures and pertinent details that comprise those issues.

They complain that they're not listened to and they're not understood, yet it's so difficult to communicate with them because of their constant state of apoplexy.

How can people, who profess to love the Constitution, yearn to take up arms against a lawfully constituted and popularly elected government? (If you don't like the current government, that's what elections are for, right?)

And they revel in being obnoxious... Only for the sheer sake of being obnoxious.


Now in America, they have every right to be as selfish, inhospitable, hypocritical, racist, obtuse, angry and armed as they desire.

However, when we hear about their hostility towards the basic principles that make up America, hostility towards efforts to correct the systems that put all of us, except the privileged few, at a disadvantage, and their blanket disdain for any non caucasian or non-christian citizen, even questioning their basic identity as an American... Then we all owe to ourselves to call them on their own bullshit.

When they act like that and say the things that they do, it's very difficult to even consider the notion that they love America too.
