That poem has always been one of my favorites. Its often inspired me. Its a shame that its associated with McVeigh and these morons.

I’ve got a lot of reactionary folk I’m friends with on Facebook and I’m seeing over and over again stuff like, “Goodbye America.” “This is the end of America.”

I don’t get it. This country survived a civil war, a great depression, two world wars, a cold war, the turmoil of the civil rights movement and a bill in congress is the end of the country and the death of the American dream? What pathetic patriotism. If all it takes to end the greatness of your country is a President from the other team in office… that’s some weak faith in your country.
