David Sirota on Republican Misdirection
"Country First? Hardly" -- Stripping away the partisanship, passion and propaganda, what about the veracity of the claim that the GOP puts this country first? Well, let’s just say it’s a little dicey.

Patrick's comment: I believe this article sees through the shallow form of "Christian patriotism" that has undergirded the Bush Administration. It is not true to Jesus, and it is not true to the principles that our Founding Fathers wanted to enshrine in the Constitution. It is a cheap counterfeit of both of those things. Which is not to say that genuinely committed Christians haven't been roped into supporting the anti-Christian/anti-Constitution actions of Bush and Cheney. I know they have. I was one of them.
