Patriotism: Rationality's Worst Enemy

by Andrew Young

The great Eighteenth Century English writer Samuel Johnson once
called
patriotism "the last refuge of a scoundrel," and his words have
withstood the test of time. Scoundrels in Washington and their

continued prosecution of unwinnable wars, stifles rational
discussion
of war-peace issues, and encourages mob-like behavior that
tramples

He doesn't encourage you to be a constant liar, Krause!
