At this point I am sick at the thought that many Americans believe that our great country is some sort of evil tyrannical nation focused on taking over the world and that this drive for ultimate supremacy is driven by right win-gist. Another frightening occurrence is people thinking that by being patriotic that somehow puts you into the category that supports this world take over. I believe everyone is entitled to their own ideas but there must be a limit to peoples imagination when there is concrete facts to work around. As Leibniz put it in 1670, “a distinction must be made between true and false ideas, and that too much rein must not be given to a man’s imagination under pretext of its being a clear and distinct intellection.” When a person gets up in my face and calls me names primarily because I dare to support my elected leader I worry for the integrity and strength of our democratic government in the years to come.
