I just don't understand why people think disagreeing with someone, anyone in this country is unpatriotic. We are a nation of diversity. People have moved here from all over the world. To expect us to all hold the same beliefs about anything is totally unrealistic. To disagree is to be American. To disagree is to be democratic. A place that allows for this disagreement is beautiful. A place that doesn't allow for disagreement and criticism is called a dictatorship.

The person who wrote that letter to the editor stating that people who criticize Bush should move somewhere else is touting the value of a dictatorship and all the while calling it a democracy. If and when this becomes a dictatorship, the answer is not to move away. The constitution states what we need to do in that case. We will need to follow it.

Thanks NHJackie for your comment. Your concerns are well-founded.

The news I found today mostly focused on the Alito confirmations hearings.
