I love it. Can't help thinking about the Saturday night live.
'I'm Dick Tater' yeah. Feel good.

And like the OP states, nothing personal - people so often get criticism of the leaders confused with criticism of the country.
JAK, excellent thread, I have posted similar things so many times I'm just wondering why you have not had the US patriots here jumping on you as I normally do on my threads. But I can take it and take any of them on.
What I am wondering is just how far things will go before there is a reaction from the people. Gun ownership is a right held dearly by so many Americans, would the removal of the right to bear arms or just banning gun ownership be the straw that breaks the camels back.
The question is will the American people fight back or is there just to much apathy and general lack of interest about what is really going on. Just how easy and in what circumstances could martial law be invoked and again what would be the reaction of the American people after years of programming to fear everything and every one, even your next door neighbour.
Patriotism is something you have for your country, blind patriotism is when you think your government can do no wrong, simply because it's your government.
