A group of protesters in front of the White House sing against Bush, while school children try to out yell them by performing the correct lyrics. Wonderful.
Truth is that both are right. It's patriotic to be proud, it's patriotic to be critical, especially now. Dissent is what makes America great. It's why there's no more slave-holding down South, it's why women can vote and can control their bodies, it's why there's no prayer in school, etc., etc. It's what got us out of a bad war in Vietnam, and it's what may get us out of a bad war in Iraq. The herd is sometimes right, but not always.
Too bad the majority are misinformed.
