This is what comes of a pResident so inept, so beneath contempt that he and his handlers realize that they only hope they have to hang on to their ill-gotten power is that we are all too afraid to change captains.
Their plan is not working in my case. I am not afraid, I am completely disgusted, with them and the hordes of lemmings in this country that think, "Yeah, that's tough, but everything has changed(tm) since 9/11".
Remind me again, it is our way of life that we're protecting, right?

The soul and substance of what customarily ranks as patriotism is moral cowardice and always has been...We have thrown away the most valuable asset we had-- the individual's right to oppose both flag and country when he (just he, by himself) believed them to be in the wrong. We have thrown it away; and with it all that was really respectable about that grotesque and laughable word, Patriotism.
- Mark Twain, "Monarchical and Republican Patriotism"
