Does anyone else miss being patriotic???

[Testosterone boy]

I looked upon myself as a patriot for the vast majority of my life.

Recent events, murder, lies, and theft for oil, have turned me against this particular administration. Contributing factors are our focus on helping the haves and the laissez faire(sp) attitude towards extreme greed and corruption.

Still I miss being a patriot and feel that it is generally good for your body and soul to be so. Perhaps I will relocate and re-experience a culture with values that awaken the suppressed rhythyms(sp) of patriotism.



This thread will die a quick death.

Hey, cheer up there buddy, just because some of the people in charge are degenerate fuckwits, doesn't mean that we can't still love our country and be patriotic.

Unfortunately, murder, lies etc. over the past 100 years is what has driven this country to where we are today. This modus operandi is not exclusive to the present administration. The 'powers that be' in America have 'been' for a long time, mainly starting at the industrial revolution period thus gaining strong footholds in our present culture. Then of course, after WW2 we emerged as a global superpower and have never looked back.

Also, I don't know of any nations that would really free one from this problem. Any nation that is developed is in on the scam as well, whether or not they say so. And most of the developing nations are either extremely oppresive or just plain wacked.

So, I reccomend that we do our part and inform others, harass our politicians and do whatever else helps us get by.

murders?...against us like 9/11?...Well, that has nothing to do with patriotism.

lies?...well the biggest one in recent years came from an oportunist that was suposed to command the country but instead of that was getting a blowjob at the white house. After that he gave up a countryinfected with terrorists and a poor economy.

theft for oil?...well I don't see any and I haven't seen any proof of any theft for oil...maybe in CA (the socialist state) the illegals steal oil because prices are getting higher and higher. We should put press oil producers countries.

Still this nation is the most powerful country of the world. The most perfect system with the most advanced technology and with a freedom that you will not find in any other place. The future of US is in OUR hands. It depends of each one of the Americans. If you wanna be patriot, defend and protect your country against anything. Developing better technology, joining our armed forces, being a lawer and reformig the system or just speaking out against what is changing America. If you just walk away, you are doing nothing for your country.

God bless America.

Djufo you must work for the noe-cons or have your head so far stuck up Rush Limbaughs ass that you cant or dont want to see the truth.

Where are the Weapons of Mass Destruction?

Where are the they? Huh?

And don't come up with Oh they'll find them. Every time Sean Hannity said "AHA! We've found weapons of Mass Destruction." It turned out to be boxes of Tide or downy or something like that.

Bush even told the People of Poland in an address "We've found weapons of mass destruction." This was right after the major fighting ended. Must be that he thinks all those polish jokes are true that he'd tell a bald face lie to an entire country.

Bush campaigned as the Education President. In his No Child Left Behind legislation he gutted funding for education that is leaving millions of kids behind. I geuss he ment just the rich children wouldn't be left behind and forgot to say that part.

By not telling Daniel Pearl that he should resign from the Armed Services Committe do you see a real big problem with Shrubs moral Compass? Pearls entire portfolio is based on the US going to war. You think he might be pushing that way with JUST A LITTLE BIASED?

Oh and Pearl still sits on the Governing board he's just not an active member of the ASC board. Big fucking woop, he still has insider defense information and sways opinion.

Personally I'd rather my President lie about a blow job to a bunch of tight assed dick heads who had no business asking him the question in the first place than have a president who lies about the reasons for starting a major war.

During a 2/15/00 debate with John McCain G. W. Bush Said, "by far, the vast majority of my tax cuts go to those at the bottom of the spectrum."

To Me, Vast majory means greater than 50%.

The bottom of the Spectrum. That be the 30% of americans who make less than anyone else.

Well that didn't happen.

The bottom 60% got a 14.7% cut while the TOP 10% got a whopping 56.5% cut.

So where is this VAST MAJORITY cut?

See when someone says one thing then does another thats called LYING.

Patriotism is a dangeros thing.

Too many people are hung up on loving their country and not loving the whole human race.

Please show us the decreased education spending by this administration?

I'm sure the simpletons will construe this question as my undying love for the Republican Party.
