Aww... Liberals Rediscovering Their Patriotism

Clowns

Seattle clowns are reveling in their "newfound patriotism" - their phrase, not mine - by printing out flags on their home printers. And shallow Hollywood tools have a found a reason to respect the Executive of the longest-lasting democracy in the history of Western civilization. Adorable!

"I have never been able to put the word 'my' before president before," he added, prompting loud applause from the British-American film industry crowd that also honored actors Tilda Swinton and Don Cheadle and director Stephen Frears. When not working on films — either acting or directing... – the Oscar winner has hopped on planes and ruffled feathers by touring Iraq and meeting with Washington foe Hugo Chavez, the Venezuelan president.

And here I thought that they were being patriotic the whole time. You mean that they didn't believe their own excuses about how "dissent is patriotic"? But they seemed so genuine! Would it be inappropriate to suggest that their newly discovered love of land and country might not be precisely... deep? Or would that be emblematic of the kind of fascism that has so effectively prevented liberals from expressing themselves and gaining political power over the last 8 years?
