It seems the only two responses that are favored are ones ridiculing Juan Cole. Oh down trodden middle. I feel your pain, I do. I feel like you are the abused children of this government {and you are, make no mistake}, begging the rest of us to be Quiet when Daddy is mad. Look at the floor. Say nothing. Don't call attention to yourself. And we lefties just won't stop talking. Calling Daddy a rotten bully. Mocking him through bloodied mouths. You do realize though that we won't get beat any less for our silence? Is it so absurd to worry that this country is heading for a theocracy when most of our truly polarizing issues are linking to a Christian God? In a land where our current President has said repeatedly that he does not consider atheists to be able to be considered patriotic Americans?
