"Joey: IMHO there are very few Patriots left in America. I am one of them, because I don't lack the courage to speak my mind and have published what I think regardless of who the President is. Case in point is my article calling Obama a Marxist, immediately after the election. Additionally, I sent him a letter calling him a Marxist, Race-baiter and a Lightweight (one who can handle the 3AM phone call) immediately after he referred to the Cambridge Police Officer as "acting stupidly"."
Joining a mindless, popular movement is not courage. Especially when you are so dead wrong.
"What America doesn't need:"
Opinionated ignorant assholes?
"America doesn't need Big-Government Republicans. (There is nothing wrong with calling "Liberal" Republicans "unpatriotic". "
Right, let's roll back our crushing military budget. We spend more on war than every other country on Earth put together.
"America doesn't need Big-Government Democrats. (There was a time when Democrats loved America. My Grandfather did, but if your idea of loving America is to take from wealthy people to give to greedy-needy people, then you are a Marxist who HATES AMERICA!)"
This is a dreadful admission of ignorance, stupidity or just general self-important arrogance. Frankly, there is nothing in the D. party that remotely approaches Marxism. If you actually knew what Marxism was, you would know that. Frankly, the new Conservative govt. in Britian is still to the left of almost every D. officeholder in this country. The new PM supports gay marriage, CO2 reductions and has no plans to end the country's govt. run healthcare system. Meanwhile, U.S. Democrats can't even agree that their should even be a public insurance alternative to parasitic, corporate healthcare. You are in no position to judge who loves America and who doesn't. Frankly, if you agree with the racist, fascist Republican/Teabagger movement, you hate democracy. And no one who hates democracy loves America. These days, you people have given me little reason to love my country. You are killing everything that makes it good or great.
"America doesn't need dope-smoking Hippie's who defy "reasonable" authority. (This is when the leadership of the Democratic Party started HATING AMERICA)"
Hippies? What century are you living in, because it isn't this one. And you're wrong. They hated what the authoritarian powers-that-be were doing to this country: segregation, endless war, and the soulless consumer society. On those last two issues, it ought to be clear that the hippies lost. Civil rights was a few years before the hippies, but that only succeeded because our imperious, war-mongering president was sympathetic to the civil rights cause.
"America doesn't need idiots who defend dope-smoking Hippie's who defy "reasonable" authority. (Democrats like my Grandfather were sympathetic to the Chicago Police and not the Hippie Protestors in 68)"
What we don't need are up-tight, paranoid, right-wing zombies who hate when they are told, who actually believe what Fox Noise tells them. Unless you are an oil tycoon, you are fighting against your own interests and those of your friends and family. Those who oppose efforts of the Federal govt. to regulate gigantic, wealthy interests are traitors not only to their country, but to their family, friends and themselves.
You see, libertarian freedom is not an option. The actual choices before us are either corporate domination of every aspect of our lives or a strong Federal govt. that stands up to them on our behalf. Sorry, but the way things are now, being left along is just not going to happen.
"America doesn't need a punitive progressive tax system that steals money from working/wealthy Americans to give to non-working Losers who call themselves Americans. (The 16th Amendment was passed by people who called themselves "Progressives" at the beginning of the 20th Century. They were not Progressives, they were Marxists.)"
The 16th Amendment was passed by the legislatures of 3/4 of the states. If they were Marxist, then so was the whole country. You have completely mischaracterized the nature of progressive taxation. Apparently, "Thou shalt naught bear false witness against thy neighbor" means nothing to you. Who the hell do you think made the wealthy rich in the first place? It was the rest of us laboring on their behalf. This is an example of how you hate most of America. Workers who made the wealthy rich are citzens, that is shareholders, in this country and deserve a fair share of the wealth they (you) created. They also deserve an economic system that is not rigged by the rich and powerful. If they are "losers" it is because the fight was fixed. You are too damn stupid to see that.
BTW, "stealing" by definition is unlawful. Ergo, taxes are not theft.
"America doesn't need idiots who defend our current tax system and want to steal more money from working/wealthy Americans. (If you support an Income Tax, Republican or Democrat, then you just aren't a "REAL" American)"
'All persons born or naturalized in the United States and subject to their jurisdiction are citizens of the United States.' You are against the Constitution and, therefore, are unamerican. And again, working Americans and wealthy Americans are not the same thing. If you support an accumulation of wealth into a rich elite ruling class, then you are a traitor to the revolution.
"America doesn't need Marxist Wealth Redistribution programs. (When Obama said, "We are going to fundamentally transform America" he was essentially saying, We are going to go beyond what Europe has done and actually adopt the principles of Karl Marx.)"
Labeling something as Marxist does not immediately discredit it, you know. You're head is still stuck in the Cold War. Allowing working people to keep more of what they make by causing those with the most to pay the most is not Marxist. Apparently, you are content with the scrapes from your master's table. Also, taking care of those in need is simply a human thing to do. You people are all "me-me-me!" For you to have the opportunities you want means you have to help take care of the country that sustains you. People work hard everywhere. Most of them live and die in poverty. It is the very things you are attacking that often prevents that here. You can't get something for nothing in this world. You cannot have low tax rates and ignore civic duties and still live in a great nation that makes personal success stories possible.
"America doesn't need idiots who think Marxist Wealth Redistribution programs are fair-play or leveling the playing field. (Progressives, Real Progressives don't criticize Marx. They criticize people like me who criticizes Marx. Obama sincerely believes that Marx is better than Madison. After all Madison owned slaves, so he was the racist responsible for establishing America a racist country that only enriches the wealthy while stepping on the working man)"
You obviously have no idea what the President thinks. You seem to be suggesting that slave owners of the 18th and 19th century were beyond criticism. You bitch about racism, but you are the ones that actually think that slavery was no big deal. When you talked about respect for reasonable authority, you obviously did not mean the lawfully elected President of the United States. Face it, you guys lost. America has rejected your point of view and now you are throwing a tantrum.
"America doesn't need race-baiting politicians who harbor their own feelings of either racial-hatred or racial-inadequacy. (Obama is a race-baiter; the Professor Gates incident and his rush to judgment proved that.)"
You have got to be kidding me. A self-made man who became our first Black president despite racism is a racist. That ought to be too idiotic even for you.
And BTW, it has been standard R. strategy for the past 50 years to use white anxiety and below-the-surface bigotry to divide the country, especially the South, and convince ignorant white people to vote against their own interests for R.s.
"America doesn't need illegal immigrants turned into voters over night by an unpatriotic Party that controls 2 of the 3 branches of government. (Amnesty and Fast Track to citizenship is a plan of Obama and the Democrats and they will receive help from an Unpatriotic Republican whom I call Lindsay Graham-nesty.)"
That's a lie. No one is proposing making illegal aliens citizens without a lengthy (years) review process.
"For me the bottom-line is,..."
You're an idiot.
"I understand why people voted for Obama and that is forgivable given Obama's lies and the way he presented himself. However, anyone who would support Barack Hussein Obama now given all that he's revealed about his agenda, that individual is "unpatriotic" and/or "stupid" from my point of view."
Yes, but your point of view is from under a rock.
"Anyone who thinks that Harry Reid and Nancy Pelosi are leading America in the correct direction is an idiot..."
My complaint is that they and the President are still clinging to the parasitic, corporate model and are not doing things that we genuinely need like repealing the Bush tax cuts to reduce our debt, making a real national health care system or reducing CO2 pollution.
"...with no historical point of reference concerning America...."
What I find most gauling about the average, willfully ignorant, angry voter is how quickly they are to call others uninformed.
"...OR if they do understand where Reid, Pelosi and Obama are taking the country, yet still support them; then they are not only unpatriotic but they are traitors to the "American Dream" and the American "way of life". "
Accusing others of what they are guilty of is a pretty common tactic for the political right. They have spent the last 30 years dismantling any chance at what some call the American dream for most people. They are anti-dissent, anti-democratic and spend their lives protecting themselves from cognitive dissonance rather than seeking the truth. They believe they have a right to their opinions and to have contradicting facts suppressed. Basically, they oppose everything that is good about America and support everything thaty is ugly and hateful. All the while, they sink deeper and deeper into ruin and blame those who offer them assistance for it.
