Suppose your conscience tells you to beware of people who threaten to obliterate other countries? To beware of people who have the ability to lie about being under sniper fire with a smile on thier face, and then when caught, to painfully evolve that lie step by step until finally, weeks later, it becomes a "mistatement" due to lack of sleep. To beware of people who claim to be everything to all people. To beware of people who simply vote with the crowd and don't bother to learn the issues first. To beware of people who think that flags and flagpins are the ultimate symbols of patriotism. Suppose your conscience tells you that people who try to subvert the democratic process must not be rewarded?
