Blind Obedience

Let's hear it for Representative Tom Cole, of my home state of Oklahoma, for declaring his blind allegiance, right or wrong, to our Dear Leader and the flawless job he has done prosecuting the war in Iraq. From the New York Times;

Some Republicans mocked the Democrats for their divisions on Thursday. "Their real challenge is they have no common, unified position on their side of the aisle," said Representative Tom Cole, Republican of Oklahoma. "Whether we are right or wrong, we on our side of the aisle do have a unified position."

It's a wonder why we even bother electing representatives to Congress anymore. How about we just abolish Articles I and III of the Constitution? Bill of Rights while we're at it, too. Time to dust off the Divine Right of Kings!
