Moral cowards in hiding
07/01/05
Increasing numbers of Americans now realize that they had allowed themselves to be gulled. But so deep was their psychic investment in Mr. Bush's necktie party, that most were unwilling to cut their losses, admit to egregious moral error on their part, and demand an end to the continuation of the deadly fraud. Because the flag had become an expression of war-mania, these people no longer felt comfortable hiding behind it. What evolved from this foggy state of moral confusion were the bumper-stickers with the words 'peace is patriotic' superimposed over a picture of the flag. One could thus appear to be both a patriot -- even as the government continued its butchery -- and an advocate of peace!
