Message: [QUOTE="TheCusian, post: 645821, member: 2585"] I'm grateful for the checks and balances, even when the don't support my political views (which tend to be all over the place.) I'm thinking we are saying the same thing. We are the government. Therefore we should hold ourselves accountable. You can both be distrustful of centralized government and proud of the ideals found in within it. I didn't choose to serve in the military if that's what you're referring to. I have friends, family members, and former youth group kids who have done tours in Iraq and Afghanistan. I'm proud of them. I find your insulation incredibly offensive to those that did serve in that way. I didn't know love of country was limited to the military, but I think you probably offended a lot of people like me. It's all good, brother. I can hold my head up high. [/QUOTE]
