What this blog is about

Samuel Johnson tells us that patriotism is the last refuge of a scoundrel.

There are many variations on this theme, but the following, to the best of my knowledge, is my own formulation:

Jingoism is the first argument of the traitor.

It was there for Dolchstoßlegende,* it was there for the Tamil Tigers, Castro based his rise to power off of it, and now, it is part of a certain segment of American culture.

Certain groups of people are claiming that Barack Obama isn't president, and thus that...something. I'm going to ignore most of the crap that these people spew to focus on one very specific issue: treason. The next post will probably explain it better.

* Godwin'd in the first post!
