    Rhetorical Question?

    Has there ever been another country to which American politicians were required to pledge their uncritical, absolute loyalty?

    One would think that "uncritical, absolute loyalty" to the United States and our Constitution would be required, but we've seen over the last 7 years that is not true, even if I would disagree with "uncritical" being a good thing.

    Apparently the only absolute and uncritical loyalty required is to getting away with whatever one can and calling anyone that questions you unpatriotic and saying they have something to hide.
