Here are the (political) things for which I am thankful:
- We have free speech
- We live in the greatest country in the world
- We can have a peaceful transfer of power between parties
- The people can change which party controls Congress
- I'm not going to be personally threatened when Democrats take power (and no one is)
- Neither of our two parties are overtly socialist or communist (this is to say nothing about third parties, and nothing about underlying principles)
- The people are smart enough not to vote for radicals (see Howard Dean and Dennis Kucinich)
- Voting is not compulsory
- Checks and Balances, and Separation of Powers
- Strategy, campaigns, and the fun of the battle

I hear criticism all of the time for unfortunate stance of many Christians who hate the sin and the sinner, mostly from the left.
It seems, however, that these liberal (most likely) commentaries go a step further, not only do they hate the sin (Bush's policies) and the sinner (Bush) but also the sinner's children (the twins).
I agree, it is unfortunate.
Oops...i commented on the wrong one.
Interesting parallel, elgreggo.
