Newsweek : The New American Patriotism

[Insane3D]

Time for a New Patriotism?

Looks like Britney was on to something! :disgust:

Yeaaaa.... I'm sure the Republicans said the same thing when Clinton was in office.

But soon patriotism moved from a comfort to a cudgel. An impulse that had briefly united now often divided, as it did in the past. At the turn of the last century, Samuel Clemens (better known as Mark Twain), who was deemed a traitor for opposing U.S. policy in the Philippines, derided what he called ?monarchical patriotism.? The old royal idea that ?the king can do no wrong,? Clemens reported with disgust, had been changed to ?our country, right or wrong.?

Hey if you are going to be dumb . . . our new motto is to be "real dumb."

You got to love and admire a President who is in perfect character making an ass of himself. It requires a certain level of sophistication even to notice.
