Good Lord, will the cheap, meaningless displays of faux patriotism never stop?? Before last night’s Republican Presidential debate in South Carolina, the national anthem was sung. Then, once the puck was dropped, everyone dropped their gloves and paired off before engaging in the ritualized prattering about God, Country, and 9.11. (Oh, and they also apparently found time to beat up on Ron Paul for kicks. Bad dog!!) Afterwards, the audience was so uplifted and inspired that they rose as one, hustled down to the local recruiter, and enlisted in the Marines while demanding to be sent to Iraq forthwith.
Right…and the Tooth Fairy is on line two….
