I had kind of strange reaction this week when Sarah Palin accused President Obama of being "Unamerican."
A visceral reaction of "How dare she call my President that?"
What a harpy that woman has turned into! But it was more basic than that. It wasn't even about Obama. It was the office, and the lack of respect that the tea baggers are showing.
Holy moly.
What's next?
My country, love it or leave it?
My country, right or wrong?
Never mind that the poor guy inherited a horrible situation from 8 years of mismanagement.
It's the idea that these people consider themselves to be the 'patriots' at the same time that they can wish that the President of THEIR U.S. fails.
I'm sure that most people in the U.S.A. don't feel that way. That most people are quietly supporting him.
A Silent Majority, if you will.
NO, Wait! What did I just say?
