Allowing some radicals control your freedom is sick, not doing anything about it is irresponsible. Enjoying the freedom without supporting it is not OK but, as American's we are free to agree or disagree (for the record I don't agree with your stance).

Let me say first off that I _mostly_ agree with what you've said. BUT, let me tell you my concern, one that I think is shared with many of my fellow lefties.
My concern is that America has turned in my manager.
My drunken manager who takes constant ridicule and **** from his bossy wife and then comes to work with a rotten attitude, telling everyone whats wrong with their work.
- We ask for supplies, he says "what for?".
- We ask for help, he says "figure it out yourself".
- We say, "hey, take some time off, figure your isht out". He's says he's doing fine. He says its hard work doing the job he's doing, that he's doing the best he can, and how dare we suggest anything to the contrary.
- We say, "can we help?". He says "mind your own damn business".
So we deal with the broken promises, the lack of support, and the rotten feedback and we come to work each day and do our job with the hope that one day this guy will quit or be fired by somebody who has the power to remove him. As a team, we know what we're capable of, we know how good it could be, but we refuse to become the person we hate to make it better. You're right, we need a plan.
Im not going to quit, Im not going to leave. I love this job, I love where I live, and this noisy, tired, ******* is not going to take it away from me. So while he makes mistake after mistake, squanders our opporitunities, and refuses to change his attitude of self-destruction, we hold our own. We'll get rid of him eventually.
Can you understand why we're concerned? Does this make sense? Please elaborate.
