It's the real John Kerry, no doubt about it.

"Sociologist Todd Gitlin in a new book, "The Intellectuals and the Flag" argues that the intellectual left must take back the flag in order to reclaim power. He argues that especially since 9/11, what intellectuals must make clear is that they are patriots. Gitlin also says intellectuals must do more than dissent and should sharpen values and "sketch visions" for the public on where American democracy should go."

I'm beginning to think all the leftists in education aren't a bad thing. Forget that they've dumbed down blacks, they've also dumbed down their own. The rest of us just refuse to be that stupid. They're busy sharpening their values and sketching visions and as far as taking back the flag?

Don't make me laugh.

“Patriotism is easy to understand in America; it means looking out for yourself by looking out for your country”

Calvin Coolidge
