Well stated.

Unfortunately, some small-minded and nasty people need to immediately categorize others into..."friend" versus "enemy."

Thus, their responses are forever influenced...by such categorization.

Some even have an innate need to constantly enumerate they are part of a 'majority' (in a specific location) and are so insecure that they feel the need to be...part of a "pack/clique."

IMHO, speaking truth to power, or a majority, regardless of the consequences or subsequent specific personal attacks...is the definition of being a true patriotic American.
