But, Blake, doncha know that every good little citizen should blindly follow
its leaders, regardless of how corrupt and flat-out WRONG they are?? What's
the matter with you?? ;)

I just love it when the righties play the patriotism card (although I didn't
think it was fashionable to do so anymore). In their minds, if anyone
disagrees with the administration, they MUST be anti-American. Smacks of
Hitler. It's pretty scary, actually.

Wonder if they have Fox News down in Oz? I'm beginning to think so.
