Hatred in Manhattan--Paul Krugman
"There was plenty of hatred in Manhattan, but it was inside, not outside, Madison Square Garden."

"The vitriol also reflects the fact that many of the people at that convention, for all their flag-waving, hate America. They want a controlled, monolithic society; they fear and loathe our nation's freedom, diversity and complexity."

1. Good essay. I don't forget what I am fighting for, but
lots of other Americans seem to have never known what there is to fight for in the idea of America.

2. The hatred they displayed at that convenion was absolutely appalling.
From the Purple Heart band-aids to Zell's Spell. America needs to wake up.
