Back in 2006, didn't cars sport the bumper sticker "Dissent is the highest form of patriotism" ???
On 24 August 2009, the world has turned.
- MercuryNews.com boldly reads, "White Anger Fueling Health Care Debate". Other media relate the theme in varying words.
- Speaker of the House labels "un-American" the citizens who dare to exercise Free Speech Rights in opposition to ObamaCare's socialist healthcare plan
- Members of Congress are refusing to hold town hall meetings, or cancelling ones that have been scheduled, during their August Recess from D.C.
- Napolitano, Obama's chief of Homeland Security, labels as 'potential terrorists' the citizens who support the 2nd Amendment, an inalienable right to life, and even the citizens who wear the uniform to defend the country ... she judges them 'potential terrorists' and worse
- Obama himself set up a 'spy on fellow Americans for political purposes' e-mail address
Weren't these people, just 3 years ago, proclaiming the patriotism of dissent?
How did Webster define 'hypocrite'?
