A REGULAR SEGMENT ON FOX PROLEFEED'S THE O'REILLY FACTOR is entitled "Patriots and Pinheads," which serves nothing more than advancing an idealised conservative ideal of patriotism bordering on the hard-wired to the point of parroting out the latest conservative bumper-sticker slogans on cue in the rather reechy-sounding voice thus preferred.

Which brings up the question of who exactly is considered "acceptable" patriot material to the conservative Weltanschauung--IMHO, they would likely see "poor white trash" Joe Sixpack types of the Park and Flush to be "patriots" whereas those in "the projects" for want of a decent credit record as would help them obtain a decent mortgage as opposed to a "sub-prime" such pushed through trick or deception would be seen in this line of thinking as "pinheads."

Not to mention such being borderline appeal to racism.

Especially when the patriotism is expected to be that of the kind epitomised by the Orwellian Newspeak term "goodthoughtful"--as in being orthodox without question or reservation, practicing such True Patriot Love in All Thy Sons Command as it were second nature. (As if implying that any deviation or reservation therefrom was only the first sign of Serious Mental Disorders.)

Remember this, my friends: "Patriotism is the last refuge of a scoundrel."

BACK IN 1917, SOON AFTER THE UNITED STATES ENTERED WORLD WAR I, THE PRECEDING AD FOR LUCKY STRIKE CIGARETTES WAS WIDELY SEEN to call attention to the fact that the war-era United States Food Administration encouraged the consumption of various alternative foods in the interest of "our boys Over There" and those in war-devastated areas of Europe.

In this case, suggesting cheese as an alternative to meat dishes.

Come to think of it, how many of you reading this blog have actually tried Welsh rarebit (essentially melted cheese over toast)?

And is it possible to fix Welsh rarebit with the likes of Velveeta?
