Patrotism, to the Left, means loyalty to government.
I say..BUNK!
Exactly. Just what do the ‘Progressives’ mean by ‘patrotism’? It is not ‘home of the brave, land of the free’. It’s ‘home of the gravy train, land of the freebies’. It is not the ideals that I will sacrifice for, it is not my country. I will sit back and wait for the ‘Cultural Revolution’; Preparred accordingly.
“He mistakenly (Freudian slip...the truth slips out) said, “I want to see us export more jobs.”
The correct rule of thumb is to assume that whatever a Dem says, is a lie, until proved otherwise.
The question with Obabaa and the Dems is not whether or not they are lying (common), but whether or not they are telling the truth (rare to non-existent).
So is he questioning the patriotism of those of us who don’t agree with him??
But only when it's controlled by Democrats.
Not loyalty, subservience.
In "Obama-speak," economic patriotism means if you're a working, productive citizen--you stop griping about high taxes are. You forgo large, suburban houses for the inner-city blight of stacked high-rise apartments. You skip private schools completely, in favor of public schools. You give up once-cherished economic choices, in favor of single, lower standard, but expensive products (Chevy Volt, anyone?). You shut up about new government plans and schemes, designed to spread the wealth around, and you let the czars do as they see fit.
If you're currently mooching from the government, at some point, the gravy train will end. Once the economy is securely under the government's thumb, your handouts will become lesser...there will be less to go around, and there won't be a need for the party in power to give away baubles for votes. If you're currently mooching, you be quiet when those monthly checks get smaller; more people will be counting on them, and there's only so much to go around. You take pride in standing in lines...lines for unemployment benefits, lines for health benefits, lines for mass transit benefits, lines for single mother benefits, lines at the soup kitchen, lines at local food pantries.
Economic patriotism for all!
