Loyal to your country first or your party first?

These are questions that I bet most of us would answer differently if we answered them to ourselves than if we had to post and stand by our answers.

Do you feel the special prosecuters who went after Bill Clinton and Tom Delay were both motivated politically, both simply doing their job or was one (pick either) on a witch hunt while the other was purely motivated by justice?

Do you find yourself using the term "accountability" for those in the opposing party and "blame game" when referring to those in your own party?

Do you truly believe that those opposed to your party beliefs are anti American or bent on ruining the country while your own party is synonymous with true American values?

Do you believe Bush/Clinton has been honest and the other has not?

Do you think (Pick either side) Ed Shultz and Al Frankin are propagansists while Rush Limbaugh and Sean Hannity are simply telling it like it is (or vis versa)?

When you hear an idea regarding US policy do you consider the source before considering the idea itself?

If you consider it treasonous to criticize the Presidents motivation for comitting io a conflict while we have troops under fire do you feel the same way for the troops in Iraq and the troops that were in Eastern Europe during the last administration?

Do you find yourself wanting to point out the differences in the above circumstances and find youself always justifying one party while blaming the other?

If you consider yourself a loyal American first, answer these honestly to yourself and reflect on it for a few minutes.

Apologies to the non-american participants since I am too unversed on foreign (to me) politics to address it here but I would guess it is not all that different elsewhere.
