What is it about Americans being killed by terrorists on home soil that proves to be such a powerful fantasy for some on the right? Would the lives snuffed out and families torn apart be a price worth paying if only it could prove the infallible rightness of Michael Scheuer’s personal opinion?
Is this obscenity what passes for loving America now? Because if that’s the new standard, I hate America. I hate America so much I want its people to enjoy the rights and privileges their country gives them, and for as many of them as possible to live long, healthy lives. I’ll never be a patriot like Scheuer – and Glenn Beck, inasmuch as he appears to be agreeing with the beard farmer – because people dying senselessly tears me up inside. I understand that’s akin burning the flag on the steps of the capital building.
