#2 Most Dem elites only believe in a "conditional us".

If they're in charge, then "politics must stop at the water's edge". Otherwise, forget it.

I'm sure there are Republicans who believe the same, but the preponderance of those holding this view are on the left.

Just look at Jimmy Carter's venomous hate for the power of a nation that overwhelmingly rejected him.

#3 A damn shame, but not just a Dem problem:

"Your president is just not that important to us."

- Rep. Dick Armey (R-TX), a member of the GOP House (then minority) leadership, from the floor of the House, 1994

#4 that's true, just saying. There is an extreme on both the left and the right who thinks of this as a political football game. One team wears red, one wears blue. They will cheer for "their team" like obnoxious and overbearing soccer moms. It's all about rah, rah, my team. They don't care if the umpire's call is good or bad. It's all about winning and supporting The Team(TM) and to hell with the objective of the game. But the primary difference today is that the majority of those who identify themselves as being conservative, Republican or libertarian still think of themselves as being Americans as well as Republicans or Democrats. The same can not be said for a good percentage of those who identify themselves with being liberal or in the Democratic party.
