Boiling Frogs

Remember when "My Country 'Tis of Thee," "America," and, music critics' disdain notwithstanding, "God Bless the USA" were darned good signs of patriotism in elementary school?

So ... remind me: when did adulation of the president - any president - become the test of one's acceptance into the club vs. available victim fodder?

We used to praise our form of government, not fall for the ruse of personality cults. Shame on us.
