Not here, anymore.

Unfortunately, U.S. politics have been shifting radically towards 
socialism for much of the 20th century.  Our basic rights have been 
eroded over time.  Our freedom of speech is often not very free any 
more.  Our freedom of press isn't very free when you consider we ranked 
pretty poorly in a recent study of international freedom of the press.  
Our right to keep and bear arms is under attack not only from 
politicians but also from the citizens who have long ago forgotten how 
we fought for and won our independence from a repressive government.

I love America, and obviously my forefathers did as I can place one of 
them in every major war for America starting with the Revolution and 
ending at WWII.  My father didn't believe much in our need to be in 
Vietnam, and I didn't feel strongly that we belonged in Iraq (then or 
now).  Yes, I love my country.  And I mourn her loss every day.
