How is cutting taxes for the wealthy immoral? And the problem hasn't been going on for the last 8 years, they've been going on for a century. And sorry for not raising the alarms a century ago, my parents weren't married and having kids then and neither was I. However, Orrin has been speaking about this for a long time. And you won't find any blog entries of Orrin talking about these problems 8 years ago because he hasn't had this blog that long (what a year and a half now Orrin?). And if it seems that we've been silent, as you say we were, therefore we are not patiots, I've got two things to say. Naysaying your government does not automatically make you a patriot (we do like to say good things about it on occasion) and just because you haven't been listening does not make us silent. Also, simply because we may disagree does not make the other unpatriotic nor does it make us patriotic. Two people can come up with the opposite ideas and conclusions and both still be patriots.
