Homeland! Homeland! Homeland!

[ChisolmTrailDem]

I really hate that! All over the news right now. We have to protect the homeland!

I never have liked that nationalist term.

1. What are they saying it needs protection from?

[ChisolmTrailDem]

2. Apparently ISIS just has to be on flight to the homeland right now! We gotta protect the homeland!

[leftstreet]

6. Has the ISIS Naval Fleet set to sea?

That would be disconcerting

[ChisolmTrailDem]

8. Yup, they're on their way using equipment we left over there when we departed...

[Journeyman]

3. My opinion, we mainly need protection from people who call it our "homeland" . . .

[AuntPatsy]

5. Perfectly stated!

4. Agreed. Before 9/11 I'd never heard it in reference to the U.S.

It's just part of the awful tidings brought to us by The Decider and company.

7. We need to just go all the way and call it "das heimatland"

[Lex]

11. yeah, I hear it that way anyway

when I hear the term . . .

9. I am pretty patriotic - but the phrase Homeland always strikes me as odd

We are a nation of immigrants who took our land from the native Americans - do we really have a a homeland?

10. Well, it IS more romantic than "The place we put our butts"

[Kablooie]

12. It's appropriate. America is an uber-nationalist hegemony.

There is a road to freedom. Its milestones are Obedience, Endeavor, Honesty, Order, Cleanliness, Sobriety, Truthfulness, Sacrifice, and love of the Homeland.
