I've written a moderate amount which I'd classify as political.

To announce that there must be no criticism of the president or that we are to stand by the president right or wrong is not only unpatriotic and servile, but is morally treasonable to the American public.

Theodore Roosevelt.

If you run into someone who desperately needs to prove something about himself (and this is usually him; I guess there may be exceptions), it's because: it isn't true, he knows this and he doesn't want to face up to that. Read pretty much any biography of a prominent Nazi on Wikipedia and you'll see this pattern played out with (sickeningly) comic clarity. It's not just the Nazis: the Brigatte Rosse desperately needed to prove their alleigance to the working classes; the September 11 mass-murderers despertately needed to prove to other Muslims that they weren't spoilt Europe-raised children of well-to-do families.
