Here's how to recognize a dittohead, ideas lifted from one far more eloquent than I:
1) Supreme belief in the cult of tradition: things will be okay because we are Americans, because we always do what is right, our forefathers made this a christian state and we should do all we can to preserve it, yada yada...
2) Rejecting modernism: Feminazis, the NEA, the UN, multiculturalism...
3) Irrationalism: GWB's skewed speech and flawed logic are celebrated as distinctly American
4) Action for Action's Sake: Iraq! Yee ha!
5) Disagreement is Treason: Liberals are Anti-American
6) Fear of Difference: Muslims, Islam, free-thinkers - we must eliminate them all! Get those scientists in line with policy.
7) Appeal to a frustrated Middle Class - Limbaugh is on the air 16-24 hours a day in some states.
8) Obsession with a plot - Clinton was out to sell America's missile secrets and murder everyone who got in the way...
9) Humiliated by the ostentatious wealth and force of their enemies - Kerry is a billionaire yet claims to be one of us!
10) Pacisifism is trafficing with the Enemy - The very essence of the attacks led by talk-radio hosts against antiwar protesters.
11) Life is Eternal Warfare - the war on drugs, the war on terrorism, the war on illiteracy, etc.
12) Contempt for the Weak - Spineless liberal bastards
13) Against rotten parlimentary governments - remember all those rants against big government?
14) Newsspeak - the creation of empty phrases combining opposite ideas - peace is war.
Substitute your favorite term for despiser of freedom where appropriate.
