Marching in lockstep

According to a Zogby poll about attitudes towards the war:

“Greatest support is among Republicans (91%-8%), while only 46% of Democrats are supportive and 52% are opposed. Independents support the war 69% to 30%.”

What kind of automatons make up the Republican party that they are 91% behind Bush on this war!? I imagine you’d find the same brown shirt obedience across policies. (Don’t give me the “they support their president bullshit”, do you need a reminder of what they said about Clinton during the war in Kosovo?) I say the same thing with equal vehemence about the 90% percent of the African-American population that voted for Gore.

This country is much too diverse to agree 91% on anything unless people have just stopped caring. When did people stop caring about learning? Why isn’t it so black and white for me? Why do I feel the need to continually research and revisit my opinion when others clearly don’t? For some good citizenship appears to mean declaring allegiance to their overlord and following orders. Well, let me remind you that “following orders” isn’t a valid defense when you are finally held accountable for your actions. Fucking cretins.

I finally setup an account on free republic. Maybe my questions will be answered there. Listening: Cold Cold Water-Mirah
