An analogy: The "facts on the ground" are that we Americans have, through the democratic process, lined ourselves up behind a lead dog in a sled race against Islamofacism. Even though we may at times think that this lead dog is dragging us towards thin ice, or miring us in soft snow, or hurtling us over a cliff, the only purpose served by "fouling the traces" through criticism of the leader is to lessen our resolve to compete in this Global Iditarod against Terror at all.


Be a sheep and follow the lead dog off a cliff, as if you were a lemming! Dare not to steer the sled of state through exercise of your voice lest that ship founder on thin ice! Worship the holy carbuncle on the arse of humanity that is our Dear Leader! And bite not the hand that choke holds!
