Has anyone read "The End of America: Letter of Warning to a Young Patriot" or seen the film? Super interesting. I admire a lot of Naomi Wolf's gender equality efforts so hearing her take on this issue was fascinating. Super intelligent, beautiful woman.

I vote because it means to much to me not to. In my lifetime, I have only ever VOTED for two candidates with any serious enthusiasm.
Ed Koch for Mayor of NYC. (Dem by the way).
Ronald Reagan as a matter of loathing Carter so much more a vote AGAINST Carter than a vote FOR Reagan.
Yes I HAVE read the work you mention and am reminded that BOTH sides meet when it comes to farking things up. In my humble opinion, a "Patriot" guards jealously the ideals upon which the nation was founded. Individual liberty and personal responsibility. If the mob can not deal with that or our Overlords not understand it, put them to the sword and be done with it.
