<em>"...not the same country I inherited..."</em>

I certainly hope so!

The country I inherited had legal segregation, tube powered computers, thinner people, and no rock-and-roll. (Yes, I'm kinda old.) It's our <i>duty</i> to make America a better place.

The idea that America has been stolen (take it back!) from its rightful owners is a long-standing meme, peculiar to the right-wing. It speaks to a belief that there is such a thing as an "un"-American, that there is only a <i>disloyal</i> opposition.

America is who shows up. The people who vote, invent, build, fight and add their character to a great nation. People who think they've "lost" their nation simply do not understand what America is.

It takes longer than that to clean them out.

In the past, you could just send them to the Betty Ford Clinic for a month, and they'd do the job for you. Unfortunately, most insurance doesn't cover that any more.
