I Miss Molly Ivins

I see that remark a lot on progressive threads out in Blogiskistan. I hear it from my friends.
So, in remembrance of William F. Buckley, who died today still opposing the Iraq War and favoring the legalization of marijuana, and who I also sort of miss, a little Molly riff:

In World War I, they went around kicking dachshunds on the grounds that dachshunds were "German dogs." They did not, however, go around kicking German shepherds. The minute someone impugns your patriotism for opposing this war, turn on them like a snarling dog and explain what loving your country really means.
