Deval Patrick on Beck rally: “It’s a free country. I wish it weren’t.”
Hot Air ^ | August 30, 2010 | ED MORRISSEY

And you thought that a libtalker declaring a public space too sacred for God would be the dumbest quote from the Left on the Restoring Honor rally hosted by Glenn Beck. Michael Graham from Boston’s WTKK posts a clip of Governor Deval Patrick responding to a question about the rally by noting first that it’s a free country — and then that he’s not terribly happy about that, either:

When I read Leon Trotsky’s three volume biography, the author (I don’t remember the name, may have been Dietrich) attributed it to Trotsky.

I read it in my younger years. The author, who was a Communist sympathizer when he wrote the biography, later disavowed Communism.

What is a wimp like Patrick going to do? Slash us with one of his credit cards?

If the government does crumble, or if we do fall into conflict (as is our history), hacks like this guy don’t stand a chance.

Obama looks really gay to me in that photo. Even if he isn't gay, he's definitely a beta male, yet a narcissist. Not a good combo at all.

And this man is Obama’s mentor....birds of a feather.

Many of the WH Czars have expressed admiration for Hugo Chavez because he ‘silenced’ his opposition with his ‘good’ revolution!

Duval Patrick & others like him apparently consider our Bill of Rights to be inconvenient!

I certainly hope the people of Massachusetts wise up and send him packing!

Those of us who live in Massachusetts are already well aware of Patrick’s personal “idiosyncracies.”

The worst governor in state history coupled with the worst president in US history is a double whammy indeed.

dimwitted libtard statism: you have to be able to use force and violate natural rights to be able to seize property and redistribute it.

And that is exactly why every socialist is a closet totalitarian.

No snot...Obama looks like a female in heat in that picture.

Lemon-faced "hunk-a burnin' love" worship, all day long.

And some people wish blacks were still slaves; that doesn’t automatically mean their opinion is worth sh!t...this northeast token is an idiot.

You’re right; with the exception of defending a right of a woman to murder a baby, the Democrats don’t even pretend to be defenders of individual rights. They openly declare the government’s right to your income, your weapons, your education, etc,. It is very disturbing that they do this quite openly, and can still win elections.

I am getting very, very tired of these Robert Mugabe wannabes.

Patrick et. al. are begging for a Ceaucescu type of Christmas.

...and the Massachusetts GOP is going out of their way to lose to this clown in November by putting Charlie Baker and Richard Tisei on the ballot for Governor and Lt Governor...

I remember that name from my Americanism vs communism classes in High School. That was before the communists absorbed the public education of our schools. I think he was the guy the communists claimed would have made communism successful.

Q: "Are you trouble that is was there, when it was and where it was?"
A: "It's a free country. I wish it weren't, but you have to... "

Grammatically "it weren't" can only refer to "free country" not rally and here's why:

The rally question used "it was there".. To refer back to rally required "it wasn't" there (past tense) and NOT "it weren't" there (as if it is still there).

But to refer back to the answer's "it's" a free country" required "it weren't" a free country (since it still is) which is what he said.

He may have wanted to refer to the rally, but he did not.

CORRECTION:

"He may have wanted to refer the ambiquity of claiming he was refering to the rally, but he did not."

Deval Patrick on Beck rally: “It’s a free country. I wish it weren’t.”

I'll give this to Deval: at least he's honest about his philosophies.

Well, aren't they just the cozy little couple! Not that there's anything WRONG with it, of course..

Throw Axelrod (he ran Patrick’s 2006 campaign) in and change that couple to a red diaper baby threesome.
