How great are we as a nation to have created an adjective whose
sole purpose is to condemn those individuals--be they citizens of the United States or not--whose actions or ideas we hold vile because they violate the status quo.
Just a thought, because I find the above phenomenon just as absurd as humanity's obession with symbols.
Get over it people.
humanity's love of symbols might have something to do with it's obession with the "other." if we are to be truly defeated, we need to fear the other more. find more others. when one is found to be harmless.. another is right behind him. terrorists. communists. "illegals".
you name it.

I blame Alexander Hamilton.
this whole idea of national sovereignty is just bogus. except for the whole *protection* thing. sure there's enemies of the united states, so long as a you can define the US as a collective. try doing that with a brain.
in defense, we stick together. otherwise, you're on your own.
as for the coalescense of capital, Mr. Hamilton: more money more problems.
unless you're walmart. oh, wait.
do you know that immigrants, illegal or otherwise, send home each year, several billion dollars. their families can then invest that money into all sorts of things that they need, as they see fit. I say we allow in more people. here, you can have my job. please, take it.
people who wave flags, either ours or theirs, have issues.

Why would we want to be members of any club that would have us as members? Isn't that what being a Defeatist is all about?
