Proud to be an unpatriot in Obama’s America
Michelle Malkin ^ | February 7, 2009 04:02 PM | Michelle Malkin

So, President Obama phoned the Senate GOP sellouts Susan Collins, Olympia Snowe, and Arlen Specter and praised them Friday night for showing their “patriotism” by cutting a trillion-dollar, backroom deal to mortgage our children and grandchildren’s future.

If that is “patriotism,” then I’m proud to be an unpatriot.

How about you?

The generational thieves question our patriotism.

I question their math. I question their morality. I question their sanity.

Kill the bill. Stab it. Stick a fork in it. Then start from scratch.

I didn’t lie. And, speaking of “high horses,” be careful you don’t fall from yours.

You did lie, and you are a fool for continuing to lie in order to make your idiotic point.

Either that or you're too stupid to actually understand what I wrote.

Your choice. Either way, buzz off. I have no time for such as you.

she did say if it comes back from conference re-bloated (as if it isn’t bloated now) she will vote against it...

What a cop out!

When it comes back from the conference it is too late to filibuster. It is an up or down vote. At that point, her "no" vote makes zero difference. Now is the time it makes a difference.

She's a pathetic little weaselly twit...

The Democrats have the majority in both houses and I think they need just a simple majority to pass it after it comes out of conference?

60 votes in the Senate makes it filibuster proof. That's the aim.

Wow. Is that true? I just posted to another FReeper that 60 avoids a filibuster after committee. Am I wrong?

Funny how eagerly the left uses the word “Patriotism” when they want to throw our money away.

IN CONGRESS, JULY 4, 1776
The unanimous Declaration of the thirteen united States of America

When in the Course of human events it becomes necessary for one people to dissolve the political bands which have connected them with another and to assume among the powers of the earth, the separate and equal station to which the Laws of Nature and of Nature’s God entitle them, a decent respect to the opinions of mankind requires that they should declare the causes which impel them to the separation.

We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness. — That to secure these rights, Governments are instituted among Men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed, — That whenever any Form of Government becomes destructive of these ends, it is the Right of the People to alter or to abolish it, and to institute new Government, laying its foundation on such principles and organizing its powers in such form, as to them shall seem most likely to effect their Safety and Happiness.

“Dissent is the greatest form of patriotism”

No. Biden said that paying high taxes is patriotic. By that standard, it looks like there aren't many patriotic liberals, not even the rich ones.

After the past eight plus years (actually nine years if you include the 2000 campaign year) of hate, bile, vitriol and vicious attacks against GWB....the lefties have one helluva huge freakin nerve bitching about the dissent that we’ve voiced against Big “O” in his first 2-3 weeks. Especially since he has come out hitting and punching as only a die-hard Marxist (commie) could.

Of course, those of us that knew all along what Obama really was were expecting this “new face of Obama” to be exposed. Maybe just not this fast.

Bottom line is....the hypocrisy of the vapid/rabid left never ends. So when they bitch, moan and whine about attacks from the right....ignore them. It always works for me.

Patriotism is love of one’s country and its people. Nationalism is love of one’s government.

I only wish I was younger because I tell you, this is going to get physical and I will not be able to join in. I would be organizing right now if I was in my 30s or 40s, or hell, even in my 50s, I hope others are because it is coming to that!

“Well put.”

Thanks, but it did not originate with me. I read it somewhere but can’t recall where or by whom it was originally said. It may not even be a direct quote, but it is how I remember it.

RaceBannon, that was is a brilliant post! Obama is a Marxist and this makes the case beautifully. This essay deserves to be posted on its own web site. If this is your work and if you haven’t already done so, I hope you’ll set up a free account at Wordpress.com or Blogspot.com and publish it there so people can link to it and refer others to it.

I am grateful for the brave, patriotic, clear-headed Marines!

All it is is a disconnected rant, actually

part of it, is responses to posts on other forums, with added links to make my point

Feel free to post it anywhere, just keep it complete

:)

I guess you had your fingers crossed when you agreed to abide by these terms:
