When the United States was created, the Declaration of Independence was written and the Constitution of the U.S. was conceived, there was ample evidence that the founding fathers had a free country in mind.

Many of the people intent on destroying the democracy we have birthed, nurtured, adapted, and protected were born in this country, in this democracy. They have ALWAYS been free to leave. There was a bumper sticker in the 60s, which was probably displayed by the same mentalities that are magats in this era: America-Love it or Leave it!

If there is a difference in mentality, it is splitting hairs. The people in the 1960's hated anti-war hippie freaks, supported the NRA, and were racists, but they 'loved' America and anyone who protested government policies could get the hell out.

Right now, the magats hate everyone who isn't a magat, and probably hate anyone who isn't a white, obese male, but realize that the objects of their hatred, who are probably more 'American' in their little fingers than the magats are in several inbred generations, aren't leaving the best country on the planet. In their tiny pea brains, the magats know they are living on a gravy train, but they'd rather derail the whole thing than allow the ------------, the ------------- or the ------- to get on for the ride.
