I guess I’m old-fashioned. I thought that real Americans rooted for their country, no matter what they felt about the President. Did the people who hated Roosevelt secretly root for the Depression to get worse? Did they cheer the Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor?
I confess it makes me a bit sick to my stomach. I didn’t like George Bush, but I would never cheer our country’s failure. Maybe those people really want an Al Queda attack on US soil so they can cheer Bin Laden. “A thousand Americans dead! Whoo-ho!”
A while ago, I would have said that’s bullshit. Now, I wonder.
