A liberal is someone too broad-minded to take his own side in a quarrel. That old joke rushed to mind as I read the results this week of a Quinnipiac University survey indicating that, well, it isn’t really a joke. There are more sunshine patriots in our midst than anyone realized.
The pollster asked: What would you do if you were in the same position as Ukrainians are now, stay and fight or leave the country? Shockingly, more than half of Democrats (52%) said they would cut and run if the U.S. homeland were invaded. We aren’t talking about women and children, or even some cadre of pacifists and conscientious objectors. This is most Democrats saying they’d rather leave America than defend it. Only a pathetic 40% said they would stick around.
Republicans did better. More than two-thirds (68%) said they would stand their ground. This could be a reflection of the partisan skew in the nation’s distribution of small arms. But 1 in 4 Republicans said they’d flee—not exactly the don’t-tread-on-me spirit I was expecting.
What in the hell has happened to this country? One can hardly imagine Americans of yesteryear exhibiting such high levels of yellow-bellyism. Where have all the Minutemen gone? The Molly Pitchers? The Audie Murphys? The Todd Beamers?
In the aftermath of Pearl Harbor and 9/11, when the nation was on its knees, the call was answered without hesitation by rock-ribbed Republicans and true-blue Democrats alike. Even the turbulent Vietnam era didn’t inspire such pusillanimity. Between 1964 and 1973, 2.2 million Americans were conscripted into military service. Another 15 million were granted deferments for one reason or another. Less than 2% of those who were eligible for the draft opted to evade it, either by going underground or emigrating.

Seems like half of Freepers would sign up with Russia to destroy our dreaded biolabs. /s
Even Republican voters want to re-elect the same people who have betrayed them repeatedly.
It’s retarded to re-elect Amnesty Senators like Rubio and Hoeven.
Democrats aren’t Americans, their self-serving Marxists.
The other half want to keep re-electing the same Bush League Republicans that got us into this mess.
“Would you collaborate with the invading army”
I am guessing about 30% of Democrats and 10% of Republican would say “Yes”.
America: Home of the brave - and also Democrats!
Of course, you can count on the sewage flowing back as soon as the rest of us cleaned up the mess. That’s what sewage does.
Why are you still here?
You got your wish. The GOP has been fired from everything. Your gods the Demcorats run everything now.
Take a bow. You got the goverment you worked so hard for decades to elect right now. Stop crying and own what you helped create.
So, if we are invaded we have this scenario:
1. Democrats leave.
2. LiberalTarians either leave or fight with China/Russia.
3. Isn’t this close to the Cival War scenario where we get rid of the puzzies and have a better Republic?
Is anyone surprised that Democrats would flee? They hate America, are opportunists, and wouldn’t have any friends that they’d be leaving behind.
I’m still here because people like you still want to keep re-electing Assistant Democrats regardless of how many times they betray us.
LOL! The Putin Puffer brigade will be along shortly.
When they do, they should stay were they run. And don’t let ‘em back in.
We used to be the Land of the Free.
Now we’re just the Land of the Freebie.
“home”, YES, ABSOLUTELY! This corrupt US Deep State sponsored, globalist crap show 5000 miles away? I’m old enough to remember Trump, when neocon madness wasn’t cool around here.
What would our founding fathers do?
Even Republican voters want to re-elect the same people who have betrayed them repeatedly.

Sad but true. The base doesn’t seem to mind being deceived and stabbed in the back.
There’s no place left to run TO.
They are coming. Don’t wait. Flee now!
