Exercising a god-given right that is enshrined in our constitution is in no way patriotic. Defending that constitution and preserving our way of life when you don't particularly care for all its idiosyncratic details -- now that's patriotic. When Scalia says he takes a particular position because the constitution demands it, when he personally wishes that congress would legislate otherwise, that's patriotic. Willfully casting a popular vote for someone who would appoint judges who will flagrantly violate the constitution to install their own particular brand of anti-Americanism -- well you can guess my opinion about that. Supporting our troops in their efforts to win a war that will help preserve for all time the aforementioned right, at the same time keeping sharia law at bay is patriotic. Pulling them out of a conflict before it is resolved in our favor is criminal. Debate and dissent are not patriotic, they are a duty. Patriotism is the other thing -- like morals and devotion and faith you would know what it is if you had any.

1. Bush bragging about not reading

2. Bush is corrupt

3. Obama is eloquent? I think not. See video proof:

4. Reagan had Alzheimers in office? Again cite medical evidence.

Oh, you don't have proof?

That's okay, we'll let you slide with Known Facts™

He "bragged" about not reading the newspapers. from a 2003 interview with Brit:
"I have great respect for the media," he said. "I mean, our society is a good, solid democracy because of a good, solid media. But I also understand that a lot of times there's opinions mixed in with news."

Socialism doesn't work. It looks nice on paper, but it's been tried and it's failed miserably every time (usually accompanied by widespread death and suffering).

It really would be a waste of time for you to make phone calls for the Obama campaign right now. Of course, if you had only been a better person, he might not be in the mess that he's in right now - so possibly you really are right to avoid trying to "help"...

The Fuzzy Puppy of the VRWC. I've been usurped!

No question that Barak is intelligent and eloquent.

He's also completely inexperienced and has chosen to associate himself with people who as so obsessed with the mistakes this country has made that they think that bombing the Pentagon is a Good Thing. He's never done a thing politically that might be used against him (which means he's never done anything), and he thinks that if Iran mounts an unprovoked attack on a democratic ally of the US, our response should be a strongly worded letter to the Times.

Personally, I'd rather hanve a "moron" (who's grades in college were better than those of John Carrey or Al Gore), who had the political courage to fight the war that Clinton *should* have fought, rather than a smooth-talking Maxist.

By the way, there's a special on Troll Chow down at Walmart (lets see how you deal with THAT moral dillema).

Your post is full of ignorance from start to finish, but I'll just concentrate on the following drivel:

The second is US support for the murderous, terrorist regime of Israel. Both of the above are facts, things that the US government has done (my opinion of Israel is an exception, of course). But the bottom line is, why would Osama bin Laden lie about his true motivations for doing what he did?

It's always Israel that smokes out folks like this. Terrorists and their sympathizers love to claim that Israel is 'terrorist' despite the fact that Israel along with Turkey and the new Iraq is actually a democracy (or republic, if you prefer), as opposed to the autocracies elsewhere in the Middle East. And this cretin swallowed the bait, hook line and sinker. It says a lot about him that he's more willing to believe Osama bin Laden than he is his own twice-elected President.

jmk1502, you're not un-American because you're presenting facts (of dubious validity at best), you're un-American because you believe unquestioningly the propaganda of the enemies of the United States.

He's worn his teeth down sharpening pointy sticks.

so it MUST be TRUE!!! Pretty ignorant.

You have no future here. Please conduct your future somewhere else.

I was hoping for responses to my questions above. Oh well!

paragraph breaks, or at least courtesy flushes between hurls.

Actually, I agree with Wright, 9/11 *was* America’s chickens coming home to roost. I just follow a different logic trail.

First, we left the Afghans to their own devices after the Soviets left. If we’d gone in with humanitarian aid and supported the right people, the Taliban wouldn’t have ended up seizing power and turning the country into Disney Land for terrorists. But that would have looked "imperialist", and besides, we were too busy cashing in the “peace dividend” to do this.

Second, for over 20 years we’d allowed our enemies to attack and kill Americans overseas without responding, primarily because we were afraid to even admit that they WERE our enemies. We showed true weakness to a savage enemy, and they took advantage of it. From the Iran embassy to the Beruit barracks to the embassies in Kenya, to Mogadishu to the Cole, we proved to them time and again that they could kill Americans abroad with impunity; it was only a matter of time until they decided to find out if they could kill Americans at home.

Third, we established and maintained a punishing set of sanctions on an entire nation to punish the despot in charge, knowing full well that the sanctions were doing nothing but strengthening Saddam’s standing with the other thugocracies of the region. For twelve years we took food out of the mouths of children because our president lacked the courage to do what needed to be done. We handed a propaganda gold mine over to the enemies of this country because our own administration was terrified of the possibility of American body bags on the six o-clock news.

Finally, we failed to take Bin Laden when we had the chance, because the man who was supposed to be the Commander-in-Chief was acting more like an Arkansas district attorney.

So, yeah, I see 9/11 as America’s chickens coming home to roost. We brought it on ourselves by ignoring a dangerous enemy and by electing gutless presidents.

at the request of the Saudi Government. Bin Laden should have attacked their skyscrapers!!

5! However, I'd change it to "trying to use your government to steal your liberty and property". That way you differentiate between a liberal and a relatively honest theif.

How about this one:
A man who steals your property with a gun is a criminal, a man who steals your property by promising to share his take with the electorate is a liberal.

shouldn't women have equal opportunity in regards to theft and liberalism? I'll bet Hillary does!!

I could be cordial with a radical Lefty as long as we are careful not to talk about politics, But I could hardly be friendly with someone who's every idea I find abhorrent.
