re: FYI: The flag/anthem represents an ideal, not the nation as it currently is

Part of me feels like the only thing that can remind people of the sanctity of the American ideal is another bloody war. We've become complacent, and Obama, Soros and the like have preyed on that complacency to gin up a bunch of unfounded discontent. We've become the national equivalent of the so-called red-headed step-child.
