In the Seattle Post-Intelligencer July 10 edition some of the letters to the editor touched truths exposing phony patriots.  Take Len Solen's letter from Bellevue, Washington:

"This administration has squandered our assets and has left a legacy of enormous debt to future generations.  Under the rhetoric of exporting democracy, they have adopted the dictatorship style that they decry to other countries."

Len Solen minces no words as he clearly states the truth in his next paragraph:

"A puppet president and the self serving vice-president who manipulates him tramples on the very principles upon which this country was founded on."
