It makes me laugh to see Republicans described as "un-American". The
political antics of members of either party are what defines
"American". Like it or not, to the rest of the world we are what our
political leaders present us to be. That's true no matter which
political party is involved.

Another thing that makes me laugh is when someone says "This country
was founded on...." Why doesn't anyone ever say "This country was
founded on the principle of getting away to a new place so we could do
things the way we wanted to do them and become the screwers instead of
the screwees."?
