I really didn't care one way or another about the Eastwood ad during the Super Bowl.
One, I didn't watch the game. Two, they've done better ads.
Thing is though, Eastwood is avowedly conservative, so the GOP going full bonkers about what they - and only they - say is a pro-Obama ad is ridiculous. Not to mention insulting.
They say *they* are the patriots. Yet they don't pay for the nation through taxes and our elected officials have done everything they could to ensure they never had to serve and possibly pay in blood. Jay Bookman discussed this recently and I am sick of the folks trying to trample on people's rights get away with saying they are defending democracy.
Patriotism is for everyone, comes in many forms, and - this is key - has more to do with sacrificing for the good of all instead of taking whatever you can get from the body politic.
