Dissent is, er, what?

Man, I must be growing old. I remember a time, lo these many years ago (about 2, in fact) when dissent was not only patriotic, but indeed the very highest, the ultimate, form of patriotism. Or so I was told, incessantly, by those at the time who were themselves engaging in dissent.

Time flies. Now we are told that dissent is sedition. Well goodness; I guess I’ll have to stop doing that!

I guess I must ask my betters for my opinion. (Which, if they wanted it, they would give it to me.) Let me give it a try:

“Obama is the bestest, most wise, most compassionate President ever (not to mention being a great lover and a snappy dresser) and is truly a Blessing from God given to us to save us from our own sins. Well, or he would be a Blessing from God except that God is a myth used to sustain the Patriarchy. But moving right along: Everything he has done is uttterly perfect, and will lead us to a new golden age of equality, comfort, and self respect for everyone who isn’t a white male. And I truly mean it! I shall prostrate myself at his feet, except that the Secret Service would never let me near him.”

How was that?
