I watched Lush Limbaugh on CBS News the other night in a segment called freeSpeech (notice the nerd influence). Limbaugh calmly yet forcefully insisted that to disagree with the entire package of The Endless War on Terror is to be unAmerican and unpatriotic. That’s right — if you have questions or doubts or oppose anything our clearly adled leaders insist on, you are unAmerican.
Frankly, I can think of nothing more unAmerican than stiffling dissent and demanding fealty to the government.
It was some days later that these word from American Pie (the song, not the movie) percolated up to consciousness.
And as I watched you on the stage
my hands were clenched in fists of rage
no angel born in Hell
could break that Satan’s spell
That people hang on Limbaugh’s every word and worship him is all the proof one needs there is no god and public education is a failure. mjh
