shit mongering
coined by the famous Laura of mewing.net, shit mongering is a term used for all the fake patriotism that popped up after 9-11, using American gullibility to sweep up a surge of selective blindedness so that the population didn't realise it was a sham made by the president, and decided it was okay for him to go blow up Iraq because it was in the interest of pure patriotism.
The president decided that the Jackson family would not be terminated or killed in a "plane crash" Wellstone style because they supported his sham by hanging up their eagle adorned flag and sending their children off to die murderers for no reason but greed.
