"Patriotism" Doesn't Trump Stupidity
Mark Coffey at Decision '08 conveys some encouraging poll results that reflect fact that a lot of Americans aren't buying the idea that it's "patriotic" to criticize the war.
[Only] 30% believe the Democrats are, in other words, being loyal in their opposition. Not 30% of Republicans, mind you - 30% of Americans…and more than half of Democrats think they’re hurting morale!
I'm sick to death of the standard argument deployed by the Left: "We are perfectly willing to put the US military on equal moral footing with the Taliban/Saddam Hussein/Zarqawi jihadists. But we are doing so because we love our country, and you have no right to challenge us over our views." In other words, no one is allowed to challenge their cowardly moral relativism.
I'm sure Neville Chamberlain loved his country down to the marrow of his bones, but that did nothing to prevent him from leading Great Britain down a path of appeasement, destruction and death. Love of country and policy correctness are not hitched at the waist.
