Take Back Our Country

A conservative Republican told me that, in the next Federal election, "We will take back our country". Maybe that's where their idea that individual freedoms can be curtailed in the name of national security originates comes from. If this country indeed belongs to the Republicans, does that mean that non-Republicans have to get their permission to travel in it? Are all non-Republicans, even if they arrived here via the birth canal, alien immigrants without civil rights? Does exclusive Republican ownership of this country explain the importance that Republicans place on patriotism. This attitude of prior franchise on this land that many conservative Republicans exhibit may be the culprit behind their seeming desire for Obama to fail. Obviously, many Republicans don't consider him as a legitimate occupant of the White House, either by birth or political party.
