his is like peering down into a vast tunnel of structuted idiocy--and it confirms (in a backhanded way) the otherwise bizarre tendency in right ideology of the past few years--the equation of learning, the desire to learn--when it comes to the main signifiers that prop up the bush administration--with weakness. this boundary--the one that distinguishes "patriotic" and "unpatriotic" in the view of someone like stacy is interesting: what is this boundary? where does it comes from?

I stopped reading right here. There is no equation of learning to weakness in the bush admin. I support Bush while my major is Middle Eastern History. I personally admire the Muslim religion (not Islam... there IS a difference). This one guy was picked because he knew absolutely nothing about this. I am willing to bet if you did the random guy he'd know enough to at least hold his own, but this was done simply for as much shock value as Fear Factor.
