Could Larry Northern Have a Future in GOP Politics?

The folks at the Democratic Underground have perfectly described a new ultra-conservative mindset that is emerging as a result of the Iraq Debacle:

"Last week Larry Northern . . . was charged with criminal mischief after he drove to Camp Casey in the middle of the night, attached a pipe and chains to the back of his pickup truck, and drove through the Arlington West memorial, mowing down crosses in his wake. How about that for supporting the troops?

"Larry Northern appears to be typical of this new conservative movement: they know the war was a mistake; they know that Bush screwed it up big time - but they just can't admit it. And so they have to try to tear down anyone who chips away at the denial they've built up so strongly in their peanut-brains. If that means they have to drive over a memorial to American troops who have died in Iraq, so be it."

By the way, if the guy pictured below recklessly wets himself during one of his anti-protest protests, could that be considered desecration of the flag?
