I sure wish the Dem's and responsible Republicans would shame those that use this jingoistic BS. Challenging someone else's patriotism due to differences of opinion on political matters is decidedly unpatriotic.
Sounds like your father was a wise man, Finn.

I doubt they ever will. The Dems because they seem slow and clumsy when it comes to reacting to such things, the flap over the name "job kiling" is a perfect example. And the GOP will certainly never speak out and jingoistic BS because jingoistic BS is the foundation of their electoral success.
