[Urbane Guerrilla]

Rich, don't be too chary of jingoism -- the witless Left uses it as a swearword to apply to anyone to the right of Hillary at her most pseudohawkish (no, I don't trust her hawk cries -- she's posing) on the assumption that they can con anyone into believing that anybody patriotic must also be mindless. What gets the Left sandbagged frequently is their habit of assuming what ain't so -- and then they get left in the dust with their pants around their ankles, irrelevant and ineffectual again.

Not wanting to be irrelevant or ineffectual, I've adopted -- from, oh, about age eight -- a different kind of philosophy of life. Carrying on about "jingoism" says more about the speaker than the recipient. The dorks for whom all patriotism is blind or irrational -- these people have absolutely nothing to contribute, and should really move to the caves of Tora Bora in pursuit of the Secret of Life. They could use a life, let alone a secret.
