How did we ever get people on FreeRepublic who hate their country? What are they? Trolls? There's no way this guy could be a conservative.

To: DTogo The loss of D.C.... and this would be bad because...? Because it is the seat of national government, it has historical value, the Constitution would literally be destroyed....! On a personaly level, the economy would tank and there would be mass panic. When did you start hating the government and nation? When did you stop being a patriot?

Fear of a government that constantly takes our liberty can devolve into loathing.
Idealists can come to hate not only imperfections, but all trappings of the reality.
