Fast Food Rube

Beware the flourishing of Rubism in our governments. Bob Ney, a Republican Representative in The US house of Representatives is hereby elevated to the Hall of Rubes. In his official House website, he and his cronies argue that they are making the change in support of the US military personnel who "are putting their lives on the line to ensure the freedom and security of others". But surely the French position is intended to prevent the deaths of those US soldiers (not to mention the hopeless Iraqis). How about this, nobody go to war and nobody has to put their life on the line? Only a sure-fire Rube would protest that his own people should be permitted to die and make that protest through fatty fast foods.
