America. Still the best Democracy on the planet! It's unfortunate that we also have to suffer these dopes, but so be it. :)

Although the Fourth of July is a great day to be alive for most Americans, it causes the bile to boil in moonbats' veins, so that it seeps out through their pores in the most hideous displays. The appalling Chris Satullo is hardly the only example. Below are some lowlights from a seasonal piece at The Progressive:
"It's July 4th again, a day of near-compulsory flag-waving and nation-worshipping. Count me out. Spare me the puerile parades. Don't play that martial music, white boy. And don't befoul nature's sky with your F-16s. […]"
"For when you stop to think about it, patriotism (especially in its malignant morph, nationalism) has done more to stack the corpses millions high in the last 300 years than any other factor, including the prodigious slayer, religion."
Communism, an antinationalistic ideology favored by progressives, has killed more than 100 million over the last century. But apparently this is dwarfed by the genocidal horrors of Christians singing hymns.
The worst kind of nationalism is of course American nationalism:
"In the last five years in Iraq, tens of thousands or hundreds of thousands of Iraqi civilians have died because the United States, the patriarch of patriotism, saw fit to impose itself, without just cause, on another country. But the excuse was patriotism, wrapped in Bush's brand of messianic militarism: that we, the great Americans, have a duty to deliver "God's gift of freedom" to every corner of the world."
Actually, we had already been at war with Iraq for years before W initiated the invasion with the bipartisan blessing of Congress, and Saddam had been systematically violating a ceasefire agreement. The genocide didn't start when Americans got there; that's when it stopped. But nobody wants to interrupt a hate-America fest with tedious historical facts.
Now for some smug psychoanalysis:
"What is patriotism but "the narcissism of petty differences"? That's Freud's term, describing the disorder that compels one group to feel superior to another."
Next comes the laundry list of America's sins: we have nuclear weapons, we are an empire, we are a "greedy and wasteful nation," we are a "vastly unequal nation," we are a plutocracy, Abu Ghraib, Guantanamo Bay, et cetera, et cetera, on and on until the duckspeak devolves into a meaningless droning quack, like the teacher's voice in Charlie Brown cartoons.
Have fun festering, moonbats. To everyone else: Happy Fourth of July!
"Show me just what Mohammed brought that was new, and there you will find things only evil and inhuman, such as his command to spread by the sword the faith he preached." - Manuel II Palelologus
re: “the narcissism of petty differences”
A perfect description of the Democrat Party primary season — they’re ALL socialists, arguing with each other about who has the better hair stylist..... (I thought the Breck Girl won that one).
God Bless America, the greatest nation in history!
(Count me out. Spare me the puerile parades. Don’t play that martial music, white boy. And don’t befoul nature’s sky with your F-16s. […]” )
Typical Moonbat nutcase. Hates the things that that allow him to be who and what he is.
What a racist also. Does he not think that any black people are patriots and would like to hear martial music.
Oh and those F-16s They bel;ing to Americans so I guess the moonbat is declaring that he is not an American.
HAPPY FOURTH OF JULY AMERICA!!!!!
America. Still the best Democracy on the planet! It's unfortunate that we also have to suffer these dopes, but so be it. :)
Last time I checked, unless you’re doing time or in the military, you can leave the island at any time. To all America-hating Americans: Get the hell out. Soon. We’ll all be better off.
Lets face it folks, if these people had girlfriends and social lives they have so much time to hate. They are truly life’s losers
Bet the jerkoff who wrote that was at a Pride Parade last week, listening to Elton John and befouling nature with sweaty Leather Bears.
He was probably just saying that to pick up some hot Bolshevik Chick between snorting a line of cocaine and engaging in an auto-erotic session on the couch.
The really horrible thing is that the left’s incredibly sanctimonious tone of moral superiority is purely a smokescreen for their ongoing efforts to facilitate of terrorism, tyranny, and genocide. What kind of person does it take to do this? Leftists are truly demons in human form.
I personally do not believe in the sincerity of ANY pacifist or peace activist. They are all demonic hypocrites, reveling in the sadistic joy of their real achievements.
Happy Fourth of July!
Freedom and prosperity for all...even for those who don't appreciate it.
The leftist liberal marxists will do neither one!
Happy July 4th fellow Freeps!
Sorry Diana but I have to correct you. We are not a democracy but a democratic republic. Lots of difference between the two and the main reason we have the electoral college instead of majority vote.
Oh, yeah, sorry, forgot to mention I agree with you that we are the best country in the world, still. Rapidly losing it though and we need to be on our guard every minute.
Michael Moore is the prototype. If they actually believed in their principles they would have already moved to Cuba, Burma, North Korea or some other people's paradise. However, they stay here to inflict themselves on their neighbor or, in Moore's case, gain praise from their fellows by making a documentary film on their delusions.
For every rickity raft that floats up on our shores with people fleeing the very things these festering ingrtes hate about our country...
I say we hold those floatation devices up and load them up with our dregs and send them on their way...
Fidel and Raoul should enjoy the fodder we send them...
