[ I think it always comes as a shock to people with little interest in politics and government (which, I suppose, is most of us) to realize that there are those among us who really do not care for the United States of America, wish it ill and are eager to see it replaced by some larger, international world order run by efficient, hopefully benevolent bureaucrats. Even worse, many of the people who see the United States as an evil, exploitative and dangerous country are happily serving at the highest levels of the federal government including my old friend and acquaintance, President Barack Obama. ]
