This is a shout out, a love-letter, a poison pill to that peculiar American brand of overconfident, self-assurred, self-loving, 'my way or the highway', black vs. white, good vs. evil, righteously indignant, 2nd Amendment-waving ideologues. The half-wits who slaver over the cretinous ramblings of Rush Limbaugh, Sean Hannity, Glenn Beck, etc. They (you?) are Teabaggers, Secessionists, Creationists, Birthers, Deathers, Palin-lovers, Gay-haters. An usurprisingly non-diverse group of wingnuts, imbeciles, nutbags, and bigots - all marching under the banner of fear-based misinformation and delusional 'patriotism'. They consider themselves the 'real' Americans. They misquote the Constitution. They misconstrue historical terms such as liberalism, socialism, Marxism, and communism with breathtaking ease.
