There is an article about curmudgeons in the Financial Post. It is about Canadian curmudgeons but luckily curmudgeons are found in large numbers throughout North America. Here are a few snips.

"Could be worse," Preston Manning says, is the Canadian definition of optimism.

We will almost all be better off if we decide less through government and more through markets.....

.....you do what your readers, viewers or listeners expect and deserve: You call things as you see them.......

If this constitutes curmudgeonly, we must work for the day when all Canadians espouse curmudgeonism.

Here is an interesting observation about antiwar activists versus average Americans.

.....anti-war activists can only be drawn out to protest whenever their political masters call them, while troop-loving average Americans make defending the troops part of everyday life.
While the anti-war movement leans on a handful of self-made celebrities, pro-troop Americans lean on each other.
