Oh Bullshit! The "enemy" needs no encouragement.
FutureMrsFillion, you mistakenly gave Finn's quote and attributed it to me. Please be more careful when you cut / paste other's quotes onto your replies.
Thank you.

Rap, I'm interested in knowing how this explains why the left is "so dangerous". Turning issues like this into political leverage is an old tradition on both sides of the aisle. The left uses the environment and civil liberties, the right uses moral outrages how is this any worse than anything that's been going on on both sides for decades?

Speaking of fair-minded people, you fit the description quite nicely.
Also I wasn’t libeling "anyone who is a liberal," just you and I didn’t use the word “liberal.”

Quote:I don't think liberals choose not to be "patriotic", they just define patriotism differently.
Actually I have defended the patriotism of Liberals, even as I recognize that the enemy is comforted by the attitudes of many on the Left in this country. One of the standing problems is the ability to dissent over a war without encouraging the enemy. A lot of the criticism that comes from the Left is not responsible enough to warrant the damage it does in supporting the enemy. Accompanying that is the principally Left-wing attitude that patriotism is some throwback off fascism, so there is actually an argument to be made for the lack of patriotism of some Liberals, if for no other reason then that many Liberals willingly choose not to be patriotic.
For me, patriotism means watching our government to make sure it is REALLY representing the people, and doing so effectively. What does patriotism mean to you?

You have before. Can't deny what's true. Do you want me to get the quotes to make you look like a lying sack of crap ? You know I don't say these things unless I can back 'em up.
"and I didn’t use the word “liberal.”"
I was being euphemistic. No, you used "socialist", red-baiting like another fine American, Joe McCarthy.

I have found Mr. Kennedy to be a total jackass and hypocritically obtuse opportunist ever since Sean Hannity & even Mr. Alan Colmes completely de-bunked and tore him a new one when he appeared on their show about 18 months ago. After the total and humiliating destruction of all of Kennedy's hypocritical bullshit I actually had the audacity to think that this asshole would never have the balls to go out in public again...shows how dumb I am I guess..I forgot the name was Kennedy...an absolutely despicable family with rotted roots at the core; generation after generation of irresponsible, hypocritical, slob, whore-mongering self-serving cocksuckers, drunks, drug addicts and lying thieves.
Sure Mr.Kennedy..pleeze tell all us ignoent rednex how we's fuggin up the Earth, while you and yo' enteraugery fly yo's jets all overs da woild, and runs up enegee billz in da gazoulions....jus' fer starta's that is.

Your description of patriotism is a convenient excuse to be critical of a government run by an administration you don’t agree with, more then it is a love for your country, I suspect. A lot of people use patriotism as an excuse to attack the government. There isn’t anything wrong with being vigilant to preserve a liberal government (in fact I would say that it is incumbent upon us to be a free people), but that’s not necessarily patriotism. It’s probably better described as republicanism. You could argue that one could be a republican because they are patriotic, but I don’t think you can define patriotism as republicanism.
Patriotism is love for one’s country. It has nothing specifically to do with the government. You can love your country even if you live out in the woods away from any government involvement, or even if your government is an oppressive regime. Patriotism is the glue that holds us together as a nation. Laws and political boundaries aren’t enough. We must be American to be a country, and in order for us to be American we must want to be American. We must love our country. We must have a desire for our country to be successful, a single unifying idea that leads us forward as a people. We are an extremely diverse people and we are very proud of our individuality, and these things can be strength, but they are also a recipe for conflict and disagreement. Patriotism is an ideal that gives us a sense of unity, a sense of nationality, something that we can agree on, even if we agree on nothing else.
