K-Lo, you’re right on the NYT and its lingering distaste for “narrow” patriotism, also known as love of this country and its original ideals, and vigilance in fighting for them. Times Watch notes they can’t even review country singers without contempt. Ben Ratliff reviewed Toby Keith: “Echoing the maxim that “There’s a sucker born every minute…[Keith] has grasped that an entertainer seldom goes broke by playing Captain America.” They really can’t stand the average American wanting to respond to 9-11 with songs about taking on terrorists who attack us. How uncivilized when we could defeat the terrorists with resolutions at the UN.
