Here's a story from today's Washington Post, about a soon to be
vanishing breed of patirotic American: a citizen who did right by his
country and his company and then his country and his company takes care of him:

It's un-American (Social Security and corporate[sic] pensions). It's
going away. America's experiment with communism [or was it
national socialism???] is ending.
As Condi said, "freedom" does not need to be
imposed on people, because people spontaneously *want* freedom
(freedom from pensions, etc., I presume she was talking
about, although she didn't spell out this detail...) -- although,
as she also said, the United States does help people
in oppressed nations who are trying to win their freedom.
But not in Uzbekistan where young people demonstrating for freedom are being slaughtered in their hundreds by Karimov's Praetorian Guards. Our Foreign Secretary, Jack Straw, "deplores" this "clear abuse of human rights" while American troops sit tight in their huge well-equipped base not very far away.
