Obama: 119,000,000 Americans unpatriotic.


Well, it’s like this. When you compliment three Republican Senators for planning to vote for your debt bill, and you make that compliment using the term “patriotic,” it then follows that you are implying that the people who aren’t voting for said bill are unpatriotic. From that, it follows that the people who don’t support the bill are unpatriotic, too. There are roughly 300 million people in this country: CBS News told us that 39% of them (and rising) don’t support the Democrats’ debt bill. That works out to 119 million people who aren’t patriotic enough for the President of the United States.

Note that I’m being nice in my choice of polls, here. Rasmussen says that Obama’s unpatriotic list would be somewhere around 129 million; Gallup has it at 51 million outright traitors, and 111 million of doubtful loyalties. And that’s just this week; how many traitors will there be the next?

PS: No, of course the usual suspects of the Online Left won’t object to Obama doing what they claimed Bush did. They shut up and took it for FISA, the war in Iraq, and rendition, didn’t they? If they won’t blink at the administration’s casual embrace of exporting torture, they certainly won’t blink at this.

This is a Surprise?

The Dems are tops at name-calling. President Bush never called those who dissented unpatriotic. The Left interpreted his remarks to mean that. Of course, that gives them the victim card to play.

FoxNews in an interview with Cahoots Collins that the third Republican is NOT Olympia Snowe, but Sen. Nelson.

Huh? Nelson's a Democrat.

I’m not convinced that they have Snowe, anyway.

Apparently, Moe

Brian Simpson Saturday, February 7th at 4:46PM EST (link)

News outlets everywhere have been reporting Nelson as an R. I saw an email that included a post from Congress Daily that had him listed as an R. I guess that’s what happens when someone announces they are against a Democrat bill.

Julie Banderas referred to Nelson as one of the 3 supporting the Stimulus

Scope Sunday, February 8th at 10:21AM EST (link)

I heard the interview. Collins didn’t name any of the others at first but, Julie Banderas I believe mistakenly referred to Nelson as one of the republican supporters. I knew immediately that Nelson was the leader of the D’s debating the bill with Collins being the head R in the debates. At the end of the interview Collins said the correct names- herself, Snowe and Specter. I wouldn’t have guessed that a misspeak would become such an issue. Then again, I really don’t know what corner Banderas sits in.

and start leading. First he tries to get the bill passed by scare tactics and doomsday scenarios and now he’s calling people who don’t see the world through rose colored glasses as unpatriotic!

If the disagreeable non-patriot count keep increasing as it is and the Left keeps doing this sort of business (as it were), 2010 should be fun.

As long as his approval ratings are near 60%...

conservativemusician Saturday, February 7th at 9:41PM EST (link)

Obama will continue to get away with his trademark bullying Chicago style of “leadership”. This is all he knows and is right out of the Alinsky Rules for Radicals playbook in that he will systematically clear the field of all dissenters. His adoring throngs of hard core leftists will continue eating this up and marching in lock step with BO will become the new patriotism, I fear.

I think that Obama will spend all of his political capital up front if necessary to get this bill passed because everything else he wants to do will be built on this foundation - including socialized health care and immigration to name a few.

You’re right that 2010 will be interesting…but I hope by then that the electorate will understand that the three GOP Senate turncoats in favor of this bill have never been true conservatives and that the vote on the bill is truly all Democrat. I’m not so sure this is the case right now.

Bush's approval ratings were 60%...

furious Sunday, February 8th at 10:13AM EST (link)

early in his term, too, during his first months in office and BEFORE 9-11.

Popularity (and leverage) could prove fleeting once the electorate begins to doubt him. As they would if he, should, say, nominate a string of tax cheats to his cabinet.

“As long as” might not be very long if Pres. Deer-in-the-Headlights maintains his current, stumbling pace. He’s leaking political capital the way CIA leaked Terror War secrets back during the previous admin.

How to make money in a "depression"

Next93 Saturday, February 7th at 6:15PM EST (link)

Here’s a sure-fire way to make a bundle of money:

1. Go to the grocery store and buy a buttload of cheap razor blades. They cost about $.25 each in bulk.
2. Set up a kiosk in your local mall, preferrably right outside the Hot Topic store.
3. Relabel your razor blades as “organic, carbon-neutral, and union made”
4. Go to freecarbonoffsets.com and print up a bunch of carbon offset certificates.
5. Convince your local free-thinkers that your razor blades are perfect for removing those “dissent is patriotic” bumper stickers. Sell your razor blades at $10.00 each and give away a certificate for 10,000 carbon offsets with each one.

That you are a bloody MORON.

I IMPLORE you and the rest of the GOP to keep serving up the same good-ole’ boy, Jim Crow racist crap. The more you do, the more your miserable party shrinks. Have fun hanging out with the Whigs. They used to be relevant too.

I also implore you to keep serving up wonderful candidates like Sarah Palin: Here’s a wonderful piece from our Alaskan braintrust:

“They are also building schools for the Afghan children so that there is hope and opportunity in our neighboring country of Afghanistan.” –Sarah Palin, speaking at a fundraiser in San Francisco, Oct. 5, 2008

I pray she makes it to the general in 2012 instead of a more legitimate candidate like Jindal, Pawlenty or Romney. The Good Lord knows she’s not going to get any smarter. If this election’s exit polls were any indication of how much of a boat anchor she was for McCain, she’ll be a great GOP candidate for POTUS 4 years from now.

Now, I’ll patiently wait for someone to quote the exact time I’ve been signed up on the site and/or yell “Moe, clean-up on isle 5) (same lame crap every time).

No, to think of it, I won’t wait. Toodles.

War is an ugly thing, but not the ugliest of things: the decayed and degraded state of moral and patriotic feeling which thinks that nothing is worth a war, is much worse. A man who has nothing which he is willing to fight for, nothing which he cares more about than he does about his personal safety, is a miserable creature who has no chance of being free, unless made and kept so by the exertions of better men than himself.

Here's how one ultra-liberal town (Chapel Hill, NC) is described

6eorge Jetson Monday, February 9th at 10:17PM EST (link)

by an outside observer in the hometown paper.

“You’re rich. You’re mostly white. You’re the slowest-growing area [in North Carolina] that isn’t going backward,” said guest speaker Ted Abernathy, executive director of the Southern Growth Policies Board and the former economic development officer for Orange County and the City of Durham. “Your housing is the highest priced. You’re exclusive.”

Perhaps the title foreshadows what’s going to happen to Obama.

Racist How!?!?!?!

JHancock Wednesday, February 11th at 12:01AM EST (link)

There is still doubt whether or not Obama is truly a US citizen by birth, and thus eligible for the office of president. And I do have concerns over exactly where all of his loyalties lie! If you google it you will find that there is a suit being brought against him on these grounds (not having satisfactorily provided evidence of birth in US), as his childhood papers and citizenship are all scrambled due to his schooling situations.

As far as Jim Crow racist, I am nothing of the sort. I would vote happily for Steele, or Powell, or C. Rice, or Jindal. I voted for Nighthorse Campbell in my own state. At my wedding my groomsman and ring bearer were Mexican American, our bride’s maids were Phillipino, Chilean, and Venezuelan, and the pastor who married us was from Ecuador.

The problem with you liberals is that whenever someone has a comment about culture, or nationality, or public issues you don’t like, you start screaming “racist!!! white pig!!!” Your argument is a hate filled emotional one that relies on a troubled past, but has little bearing on the present or future. You, sir, are intolerant, bigoted, idiot and have the intellect and acumen of navel lint backing up your argument. If you are going to call me a racist, call me it to my Face!

 
 
 

Patriotism

DevilDoc Saturday, February 7th at 7:38PM EST (link)

Definition: Love for or devotion to one’s country. It does not mean “BOHICA” the government spending money it does not have. No VPOTUS, nowhere that I can see in any of the founding documents does it say that it is patriotic to pay higher taxes. Having served this country for over 30 years this administration makes me sick to my stomach.
