You and many others confuse dissent and active debate 
with treason. This is my country, as much as it is 
yours, and I'm stickin' to it. 

And I accept some blame for voting for some lousy 
Republican - and Democratic - politicians who have 
acquiesced to King George's stomping on the 
constitution with golf shoes.

Doesn't your sense of personal responsibility include
some culpability in the deaths of our nation's finest
who have been put in harm's way as a result of Bush's
wishful thinking about what it takes to actually get
Osama bin Laden?
