Mears, JC and yamster, all view this war as a spectator sport where two teams - one good and one bad/evil - are pitted against one another and are fighting for the survival of "our way of life". It really is as simple as that and US politics, while not being a struggle between the forces of good and evil
per se, is regarded in a similar fashion: two teams on the gridiron slugging it out for the trophy; pick your team and cheer them on. It is much easier for them to see everything in this way as it doesn't require any critical thought.
Of course yammie sounds like an unreconstructed Cold Warrior much of the time with his use of the word "commie", though I seriously doubt he's ever met a real communist in his life. If he ever met one, he'd shit himself.
