Defining Patriotism Down

From Real Clear Politics:

"Things that are not life-threatening," Moore said on HBO's "Real Time" with host Bill Maher. "The reason why you have to wait sometimes in those countries is they let everybody in the line. We make 50 million people out of the line so the line is shorter, so sometimes you have to wait as long. If you are a patriotic American, you want every American to be covered the same as you. No, not 'I'm going to get ahead because I have health insurance and they don't,'" Michael Moore explained.

I just don't see how you can equate slinging your freedom away -which has been purchased dearly with the blood of true patriots- and standing in a communist style line for health care or anything,with patriotism. The men who braved the winter at Valley Forge,or stormed the beaches of Normandy,didn't face death so we could stand in line for anything!

Texas School Intolerent Of Boys View On Homosexuality

From Fox News:

Dakota was in a German class at the high school when the conversation shifted to religion and homosexuality in Germany. At some point during the conversation, he turned to a friend and said that he was a Christian and “being a homosexual is wrong.”

“It wasn’t directed to anyone except my friend who was sitting behind me,” Dakota told Fox. “I guess [the teacher] heard me. He started yelling. He told me he was going to write me an infraction and send me to the office.”

Dakota was sentenced to one day in-school suspension – and two days of full suspension. His mother was flabbergasted, noting that her son had a spotless record, was an honor student, volunteered at his church and played on the school football team.

One of our "natural" and "inalienable rights" is the right of conscience.The whole 1st amendment is rooted and grounded in this fundamental right.We all have a right to be governed by our own conscience and to state openly in public,without fear of reprisal,what those convictions are,as long as we don't infringe on others "inalienable rights."

Dakota,has every right to judge homosexuality as morally wrong.By personally judging something as morally wrong,he or anyone else is not infringing on anyones right to engage in such deviant behavior or supporting such deviant behavior.

Tolerance is a 2 way street,maybe the radical homosexual left should practice it sometimes.

'Liberals Vow To Challege Obama In Democratic Primaries'

From The Washington Times:

In search of candidates, Mr. Nader and the others sent out a letter, endorsed by 45 “distinguished leaders,”to elected officials, civic leaders, academics and members of the progressive community who specialize among other things in labor, poverty, military and foreign policy. The list, they said, also includes progressive Democrats who have held national and state office and have fought for progressive reforms.

These are far left radicals and really doesn't change the odds that Obama will be replaced at the head of the Democratic ticket in 2012,but it is continueing evidence that the natives are getting restless and fear they may recieve a thrashing next year.

Osama Is Dead And Some Liberals Don't Like All The Flag Waving

Via Moonbattery;

Liberals didn't like all the flags that spontaneously appeared after 9/11. Now that Osama bin Laden has finally gotten what he had coming, they aren't liking the patriotic celebrations. WaPo's Petula Dvorak sanctimoniously gripes about displays of national joy, which she denounces as "vulgar":

When I saw that folks were celebrating in the streets at the news of bin Laden's death, my first reaction was a cringe. Remember how we all felt watching videos of Muslims dancing in celebration on Sept. 11, 2001?

What is vulgar is the lefts loatheing of this country.Just once can't you liberals be happy for America.Just this once.

Stupid Is,Stupid Does

From Moonbattery,nearly 14% of educators want to ban their own flag,Old Glory,from school;

This might seem like a stupid question, but before you vote, consider that wise educrats have their reasons for wanting to ban Old Glory. Prominent among them is that Reconquistadors don't like it, having already progressed from doing the work Americans won't do to despising the flag Americans don't despise. Failure to pander to the politically privileged could compromise safety, or so we're told.

When flying your country's flag in your own country becomes offensive,you have a problem.

The Hypocrisy Of The Anti-War Left

Michael Filozof at the American Thinker;

President Obama has just committed American forces to engage in acts of war against Moammar Qaddafi. Where are the protesters? Where are the accusations that Obama is a liar and a Nazi? Where are the groups of "artists" wishing death upon the "warmonger" Obama? Where are the cries for Obama's impeachment? There aren't any, and there won't be any, either. Obama - who made a fetish out of his opposition to the "surge" in Iraq, yet ordered a "surge" of his own in Afghanistan - has just committed American forces to combat action against a third Muslim country. No matter. He won the Nobel Peace Prize a priori. The Left regards him as a man of peace in its own mind; the facts are irrelevant. 

 

The Left's hypocrisy on matters of war and peace is sickening. When the Democratic Party is in power, it routinely commits America to war. When Republicans are in power, Democrats engage in shameless demagoguery and paint the Republicans as bloodthirsty warmongers.

The anti-war left is nothing more than the monkey that dances to the tune that the Democratic party plays on its organ.When Republicans are in the White House war is bad.When Democrats are in the White House war is good.Hypocrites!

Ron Paul Takes On Pro-Choice Busybodies

From Free North Carolina;

Ron Paul is brilliant here.He exposes the left's hypocrisy concerning freedom and choice.The only time the liberals ever favor choice is (unless your the unborn) concerning abortion.In every thing else they (the libs) want to restrict what choices we can make.Whether it is what car we choose to drive to the light bulbs we use in our homes,they have decided they are better informed to make those choices for us.The truth is Rand Paul and other like minded conservatives are far more Pro-Choice than the most moderate Democrat is.

We Are All Americans

Today,in her column,Michelle Malkin responded to Attorney General Eric Holder's and President Barak Obama's racist comments;

My fellow Americans, who are “your people”? I ask because U.S. Attorney General Eric Holder, who is black, used the phrase “my people” in congressional testimony this week. It was an unmistakably color-coded and exclusionary reference intended to deflect criticism of the Obama Justice Department’s selective enforcement policies.

And;

Katrina Pierson is my people. She’s a feisty young Texas mom and Dallas tea party activist who supports limited government principles and rejects left-wing identity politics. She confronted the NAACP last year with a rousing manifesto of political independence and rebutted the left-wing group’s attacks on the tea party as racist:
“The reality is that we colored people no longer require the assistance from other Negros for advancement,” Pierson said. “These groups run to the rescue of distressed brown people only when the media deems it newsworthy. Meanwhile, there are inner city black children who continue to grow up fatherless while sharing a neighborhood with stray bullets, drugs and a plethora of liquor stores on every corner. … I don’t believe that the true meaning of this nation’s creed was to move black people from one form of slavery to another.”
The NAACP, she observed, is made up of “Democrats who bow to a Democrat master today as they once did over 200 years ago. Once this is realized by the forgotten society, race in this country will be as irrelevant as those who thrive off of it.” Amen, sister.

Here is her response to Obama's claim that the Tea Party is racist;

According to U.S. News and World Report’s Kenneth Walsh, President Obama told guests at a private White House dinner that he believed the tea party movement had a “subterranean agenda” of racism against him. But Lt. Col. West summed up the movement’s transcendent, post-racial agenda forthrightly:
“The tea party is a constitutional, conservative grassroots movement — and that’s it. The tea party stands for three things: They want to see effective, efficient constitutional government, they stand for national security, and they stand for free market, free enterprise solutions. That’s it.“
It’s government of, by and for the people — all the people. Not just the ones still shackled by reflexive Democratic Party loyalty. We are beholden not to our skin pigment or ethnic tribes, but to American ideals, tradition, history and faith in the individual.

Today the Democratic party,the radical left,chooses to define themselves by the hyphen that denotes their race,creed or gender.They define themselves by what divides us rather than on what unites us.Instead of,"We the people",it has become,"my people."

Losers At Columbia University Heckle A Hero

From the New York Post;

Columbia University students heckled a war hero during a town-hall meeting on whether ROTC should be allowed back on campus.

"Racist!" some students yelled at Anthony Maschek, a Columbia freshman and former Army staff sergeant awarded the Purple Heart after being shot 11 times in a firefight in northern Iraq in February 2008. Others hissed and booed the veteran.

Maschek, 28, had bravely stepped up to the mike Tuesday at the meeting to issue an impassioned challenge to fellow students on their perceptions of the military.

"It doesn't matter how you feel about the war. It doesn't matter how you feel about fighting," said Maschek. "There are bad men out there plotting to kill you."

Several students laughed and jeered the Idaho native, a 10th Mountain Division infantryman who spent two years at Walter Reed Army Medical Center in Washington recovering from grievous wounds.

These punks are pathetic.Staff Sergant Anthony Maschek has already accomplished more in his life than all of these worthless losers will ever accomplish in their pathetic lives.

Sober Up Lefty!

I think this sums up the left and whats going on in Wisconsin,by Smitty at The Other McCain;

The sun is setting on the Progressive Era (or however the Left would label the last century of the E PLURIBUS collapsing into the UNUM). The Left is reacting with all the grace of an alcoholic denied the bottle. But financial sobriety is coming, oh yes. And, as the redeemable Lefties you know get past their delirious tremors, don’t forget that even Ronald Reagan was once a Lefty.

The Radical Left Hates Chicken

Michelle Malkin's column today,informs her readers of the war that is being waged by left wing homosexual advocacy groups against Chick-Fila and other christian owned business's.From Michelle's column:

Over the past month, several progressive activist blogs have waged an ugly war against Chick-Fil-A. The company’s alleged atrocity: One of its independent outlets in Pennsylvania donated some sandwiches and brownies to a marriage seminar run by the Pennsylvania Family Institute, which happens to oppose same-sex marriage.

In the name of tolerance, the anti-Chick-Fil-A hawks sneered at the company’s main product as “Jesus Chicken,” derided its no-Sunday work policy, and attacked its operators as “anti-gay.” Michael Jones, who describes himself as having “worked in the field of human rights communications for a decade, most recently for Harvard Law School,” launched an online petition drive at www.change.org “demanding” that the company disavow “extreme anti-gay groups.” Facebook users dutifully organized witch hunt drives against the company on college campuses. 

Read Michelle Malkin's entire column here.

The original Chick -Fila was founded by Truett Cathy in Hapeville Ga in 1947 and to say that it is an institution on the southside of Atlanta is an understatement.Any and everyone who has lived on the southside Atlanta has visited the original Dwarf House.Some of my fondness memories,as child,was going there with my Daddy on a Saturdays afternoon,primarly to see the seven dwarf's clock they have there on the wall.

Truett Cathy is a blessing and a benefactor to the whole community here in Georgia and his"good works"are to numerous to be mentioned.

We as Americans shouldn't let these radical groups succeed in their attempts to harm this business.We should all visit a Dwarf House,Truett's Grill,or a Chick-Fila in a mall and support this fine institution with our business.
