For several years now we have been overridden with people - Obama
representing them well, who are embarassed by our historical success as a
nation.

This goes to the heart of what is wrong with American politics today. It is
no longer enough to claim the other side is wrong, they have to be wicked as
well and actively working to damage the nation and harm its people. Is it
any wonder compromise fails when politics is practiced in a manner that
requires painting the other side as heretics?
