joeth,
I'm with you there. I think that's how I realized why I've always been a Democrat and identified with those ideals. And to think that Bush ran on a platform of "compassionate conservatism!" What a joke.
My main thought for the past several years has centered around the fact that we can make and subside on just about everything we need here in the United States. Remember the Buy American / Made in the USA campaigns in the 80s that seemed really lame at the time? We need that again. That form of patriotism seemed silly back then, at least it did to me as a kid, but now more than I ever I think that ideal is what will help this country and create a cycle of opportunity, employment, economic prosperity, and self-ownership.
