Does anyone still believe this drug-addled clown? :shrug:

7. Unfortunately, yes,
although God alone knows why. Maybe someone should question his "patriotism" since he found a way to get out of going to Vietnam and see how he'd like that. And someone should shove a history book in his face and show him just how important a premium the FF's placed on allowing dissent, how this country came about due to dissent, and how very American it truly is. Not that he'd even listen, of course.

8. Oh, you're gonna get in BIG trouble for calling him
"fatso." Even though he is.

Doesn't matter if it's true; there are some people here who will crucify you for using that word.

Just a friendly warning. They have NO sense of humor at all.

Getting back on topic though, its the patriotism of the right that has recently been question, not that of the left.

9. guess what? Jingoism just doesn't whip most of us up into a froth pigboy.
I question your mental capacity, and I don't give a fuck what you think of my patriotism.

I am committed to the ideals of my country, not any one person or administration - no matter how many fabulous wars they start.

Arbitrarily killing people in foreign countries doesn't make you a patriot of any country. Just a bloodthirsty monster.

11. Jon8503 to idiots far far to the right
Edited on Wed Aug-24-05 06:06 PM by Jon8503
"Dissent is the essential aspect of patriotism"

--Thomas Jefferson

When was the last time anyone on the left sent their sons and daughters to die for corporations or revenge?

When was the last time someone on the left called for the assassination for a leader of a democratically elected country?

When was the last time someone on the left spit out hate speech for those who did not agree with their beliefs?

When was the last time that someone on the left failed to send their sons and daughters or themselves to fight for their country for a legitimate and last resort reason?

It seems to me on this war it is those such as Limbaugh who got out of the draft for a boil on his butt (possibly Santorum) are the only ones calling for this war. All those who have experienced such an awful experience are not so anxious to send the young to fight a war that is or was unnecessary or so they can keep their riches.

13. He's a few years too late
I believe we've been called unpatriotic and anti-American since the beginning. He and those like him attacked decorated combat Vets, and question their patriotism. (Not bothering to mention his ass pimple, of course) He's trying to frame it like it's something new. Must be scared. Hey rush, NO SHIT! Don't defend your position, we're all well aware. Now go back to nodding out or something, while we on the left,left of center and a little to the right folks (see how we're growing?) continue to try straighten out this disaster you on the extreme right have created.

1. He needs to start taking Oxycontin again

2. He needs to have the first amendment tatooed on the inside of his eyelids

3. Most importantly, he needs to shut the fuck up.

this coming from a guy who dodged the draft, hides behind call screeners, never has opposing guests, never goes on debate shows, a nd hides away in some xanadu-knock-off island compound

i always ask rw people - 'if he's so right, why can't he actually engage in a debate?' it's so easy to yell at video clips and inanimate objects.

he's such a spineless old drug-addled wimp

35. He's just another chickenhawk
Too weak and wimpy to serve in Vietnam when he had the chance. It's easy to beat the war drums when you're not in danger of going yourself, isn't it? Like Mr. "I had other priorities," Cheney...5 times, and "I wanted to, but the minorities filled all the slots" bugman DeLay. They are weak and cowardly, and wouldn't recognize patriots if they tried.

I'm so sick of them, and their followers, and all of their venom and spite, and constant attacks on the people in this country who do the actual work, the heavy lifting, and the fighting. If this war is such a good idea, why aren't they serving? Why aren't their kids or grandkids serving? Right. Shut up, Pigboy, you're a waste of oxygen.

41. My younger son got picked on some
He wasn't into athletics, and is super intelligent. He is now a very, very passionate liberal, and one of the most moral, ethical people I've ever known. Some grown kids, in their early 20s, for example, have to call Mom to ask for money because they've gone over budget. Mine called me when he and his girlfriend saw some idiot dump a kitten from a car going under a freeway.

They stopped their car, rescued the cat, and took him to a vet. The bill was more than they could handle alone, so I was asked to contribute to the cause, which I did. It's time Rush and the weenie grow up, and become members of the human race. Being picked on, if you have any strength at all, can make you more sensitive to others. With them, it just brought out their mean streaks, and I agree with you...they never grew up.

47. Good for you!
When you look back at some of the popular crowd in school, sometimes you realize that you got picked on because they didn't know how to respond to anybody who didn't march in lockstep with the in crowd. Most of them are republicans now anyway! I'm glad you stayed true to yourself.

for these neocons who, while pillaging their fellow countrymen at home, would sink so low as to deny the troops they sent to Iraq, such basic protection as body-armour and appropriately armoured vehicles, in battle; and then have the gall to trumpet that, unlke their opponents, they suppport the troops!

28. Some asshole wrote to our paper today..
they have an anonymous column where you can say nice or mean things anonymously. This caveman wrote about counter protests to the Women In Black who stand on a local corner every week. He said that when he stands on the opposing corner with a big flag he gets 90% positive feedback from everyone (which is bullshit, cuz I've sat at the light and most people ignore them). And he says... 'imagine THAT overwhelming positive support for people who LOVE America, as opposed to those that don't!'. So basically he said that the Women In Black, and others who support peace, HATE the country. So, I guess that answers my question, do people really still listen to "oh what a" Rush. Apparently, the do.

36. Patriotism is allegiance to the United States, not the Republican Party
or various corporations or religions.

This is the very best way to silence people who attempt to crush all opposition by evoking patriotism.

X: You hate America.

Y: What makes you think YOU'RE America?

Those who hate dissent hate America.

Anybody who's going to fall in and goose step along with the world-dominating corporate theocrats hates America.

Then why would anyone listen to Rush? There is NO difference between his ravings and the slobbering prattle of your nearest neighborhood smack addict. They are one and the same.

I don't have time for the ravings of drug addicts. I can't believe anyone else here would.

44. Oh, Really?
You are questioning *my* patriotism, *Limpball*? Excuse me, but I stood by people on your side of the political aisle after 9/11. I waved my flag. I tried to give Bush a chance, even though I didn't vote for him. I *wanted* him to get the terrorists! He lost my support when he decided to go to Iraq. I *wanted* him to get bin Laden, but he decided that Hussein was more important. And now he is trying to turn my country into a fascist police state. If I supposedly hate my country, why do I cry so much these days for it? I fear thar democracy may be almost finished here. Maybe you need to stop mixing patriotism in with nationalism, Mr. Limbaugh, but then your career would be over, right? You have made all your money being a hateful little neocon.

if he said that to my dear old dad's face, a 74 year old wounded korean war combat vet, that limped dick clown would be dead before he hit the ground.

talk is cheap, and limpdicks like limbaugh have the market cornered on it.

i am waiting for somethnig quite nasty to happen to some of these right wing clowns. sooner or later someone who has lost a loved on over there will snap and come looking for the likes of limpdick and exact some revenge.

and i'll have only two words to say........jury nullification.
