Are Republicans Committing Treason?
http://www.alternet.org/story/151711/are_republicans_co... /
Once upon a time, in a land that now seems to have been populated by tooth fairies and unicorns, there was a political party that had a set of core beliefs to which they actually adhered.
Among them was that actually balancing the budget, as opposed to just talking about it, was sacrosanct. Slow change, while necessary, had to be balanced against the traditions of the United States, ones that had mostly served us well over two centuries.
Foreign military adventures should be limited to our national security interests. And one of the single most important components of diplomacy was protecting the economic interests not only of an elite few, but of the great many Americans who toiled in our factories and fields.
This party was known as the Republican Party, and while one might have disagreed with them on their policy prescriptions to cure any particular US ill, one could at least see some logic in their beliefs and understand that they - with some obvious exceptions from time to time (ahem, Joseph McCarthy, ahem) - were doing what they thought was right for the United States of America.

There once was a political party called Democrats. While they pretended to veneer of supporting the "working class" they colluded with people that would rob that same working class blind by forcing them into unions that would then give kickbacks to the party. They pretended to give a damn about "minority rights" while actively attempting to suppress any black voters who might vote for the other party. They claimed to represent the "poor" while enacting policies to ensure the poor stayed that way. Some things never really do change, do they?

1. I know I'm never going to be able to hear the word "patriot" without bad feelings for a very very
long time and seeing those little flag lapel pins will make me cautious around the person wearing them.
So much harm to so many millions of people! We MUST never forget!!!
Those that love their country are a danger to this goon.

Stephen Decatur was a gentleman and would have challenged you to a duel over your statement. Then again, even dead, he is a better man than you ever will be.

5. it's funny...
whenever I see a pickup truck with an American flag waving from it, my response isn't "What a great patriot!", but something more like "What a moronic redneck!"
Patriots are morons. Tell us how you really feel.

10. There is a case to be made for the probability that if you're getting a good enough of a buzzzzzzzzz
off of a given behavior, and plenty of social reinforcers, you would be less likely to explore other behaviors, like the solitary work of independent reading and thinking and exploring and trying to meet new/different people, to find more of the truth, a.k.a. reality, 'cause you've got all you need with your little colored piece of cloth.
(That's the rhetorical "you", of course.)
Patriots and conservatives are uncouth, lack culture, and are possibly illiterate. I guess culture is now the lunatic howlings of a fool who never ventures beyond the nearest convenience store.

Nanzi Pelosi January 2007 "This is the end of deficit spending.:\
National debt January 2007 $7.8 trillion.
National debt January 2011 $13.2 Trillion.
No deficit spending = $5.4 trillion in deficit spending = POTATO = Artichoke. :mental:

What the DUmmies seem to overlook is that the House Un-American Activities Committee was started and chaired by democrats long before McCarthy got involved.
Same with the KKK. Another democrat organization which required membership in the democrat party to join.

perhaps this is the reason the primitives have such an aversion to the U.S. Flag...
According to a study conducted by the University of Chicago, Cornell University and Hebrew University, even a brief glimpse of the American flag shifts voters to Republican attitudes and beliefs.
Even the voting behavior of Democrats are affected, the study found.
Whats more, US News and World Report says the "the impact had staying power," according to the study's three authors.
Paul Bedard writes:
"A single exposure to an American flag resulted in a significant increase in participants' Republican voting intentions, voting behavior, political beliefs, and implicit and explicit attitudes, with some effects lasting 8 months," the study found. "These results constitute the first evidence that nonconscious priming effects from exposure to a national flag can bias the citizenry toward one political party and can have considerable durability."
