<<The rhetoric will go on for awhile yet, pointless of course, but then it always was.>> You know; this Intellectual Elitism that we've arrived at is surely a sign of the final stages of our cultural & moral decline in America. I would be curious to see what the poll numbers are amongst WWII vets, amongst immigrants who are now US Citizens - especially those from former Communist regime's. It amazes me; that as we get 1-2 generations removed from "The Greatest Generation" - how snobbish we become to the trivial matters of freedom. Those of us 1-2-3-4 generations removed from the fight for freedom, those of us whose only worry is the DOW & NASDQ averages; who have the Lexus in the driveway, the kid at the Ivy League School, and spend our leisure working on our "short iron" game; really come off as hypocrites dismissing the germane issue's of what happened in America today. You are right Sarge; the rhetoric is pointless; sadly so, you are right...because too many of us - are just too far removed from any appreciation of what those who fought the fight for what we have today were fighting for, or what they sacrificed. Sadly; we not only - "dont' get it" - we also, don't really care...
