OK OK Define patriot.

I have arrived at the point where ANYONE defending the current administration MUST be off their meds to some degree. And the agument of "Would XXX done any different"? is disingenuous at the very best because a "what if" in history is an exercise in futility.

We are in a mess, folks.....and those who cannot see that are really the problem. GWB is NOT a genius. Rove is not a sage. Cheney is FAR from believable anymore. It keeps getting worse. Rove now saying it is the fault of Congress that we invaded Iraq? All one has to do is g to the Whitehouse.gov site and back to he fall of 2002 to see why THAT statement is far from the truth.

There are good people in Washington; many who have been marginalized because they did not follow the strict "party line" and the rest of us live with this, shrug our shoulders, shake our heads and just accept it. The current administration is made up of absolutists. "Either you are with us or you are against us" leaves NO room for independent thought, since independent thought might just lead the thinker to a different conclusion. And that would label the individual as giving aid to the enemy ar worse, a traitor.

Inflexible loyalty to any doctrine or belief system leads to a paraylisis of the mind.
