Whose American values?

kismet does an excellent job of spelling out what many of us "want to be able to say about my country" which is why we voted the way we did and why the sense of genuine anguish now.
I am so sick of hearing that this election was won (or lost) on values. If one more (smug, gloating Republican) person says that to me, I will rip them a new one the size of Texas.

Because, you see, my vote in this election was totally based on values.
He hits all the right notes here -- it's longish, but worth the trip.
We are not murders. We are not aggressors. We are not torturers. We are not big-brotherish spies. We are not black hats. We are not suppressors of dissent. We are not thugs. And I voted on those values.
