We have a lot of flist members in common so I've seen your posts before. I've never responded until now.

"Republican" is a self-selected culture and an abysmal one (self-selected cultures aren't representative of a generalized people pool). With a few exceptions (Chuck Hagel, for one), they have become the party of sociopathy -- Grand Old Psychopaths. I also have a great respect for genuine American history and culture (I'm a John Adams buff, as you might have guessed) which has nothing whatsoever to do with this band of theocratic thieves and liars who've taken over our government over the last thirty years. We're very much in agreement on all that.

I've just friended you back, btw.
