I don't doubt, that there are many Americans, the great silent
majority, who have already faded from view. This thread, illustrates
this well. Where are the Americans? But know they are out there,

exist!

I wouldn't be surprised if they are ashamed for people like you who smear
their nationalistic, overly religious and extreme right wing sauce over
everything that is (or was) good and still uncorrupted about the U.S..

I'm not sure 'ashamed' is the right word. Trying to reason with a
fundamentalist is one of the most arcane and frustrating things in the
world...they get a certain glee out of causing you frustration, because
that feeds their self-righteousness. Which, in turn, causes more
frustration. Then they mistake that childness gleefulness for some sort of
reinforcement of their correctness.

No, its not shame. Its abject frustration. Folks would rather leave people
like that, standing in the rain proclaiming what a sunny day it is, all
alone.
