Who'd of thought that you could get a coherent argument these days, what with the whole of Congress up in arms about port deals and whatnot? Not I, that's for sure.
Excellent, excellent. It's just scary how many people would find this stance surprising or disagree with it. And I must be a bit more disillusioned than him, because I don't just think the following is a belief of some, but a description of what is:
"The hatemongers think that the American public is sort of like a big stupid dog, and you can fairly easily "sic" it on whoever you like. Just tell them that X people are intrinsically evil and that the US needs to go to war to protect itself from them. Then they turn around and blame those of us who don't want our country reduced to footsoldiers in someone else's greedy crusade for being "unpatriotic."
