2. Bush has stained and soiled my flag, it's sickening to think we will go down in history as

3. Couldn't agree more.

Funny how liberals are considered the more "unpatriotic" group when we care about this country more instead of some bullshit-John-Wayne reputation. Leave it up to Conservatives to view humility and common sense as a form of weakness.
