Warning - Patriots - are we being setup by the news and the spin

[2Design]

Starting to hear and see this term 'Patriot' or 'Patriotic' are used only with those who support bush and bush agenda

This is a dangerous practice - meant to separate people - all those who stand up to Bush and his ridiculous war are - being put into a group -

this is what happened in Nazi germany in the early years -

this is going too far

Watch for this in the news and other places -

it was in the story about the father/child/ripped up sign
it was on news last night about a mother of a dead soldier who is still for bush

I don't remember what the germans called those not for hilter -

1. I'm checking for signs

that say "Arbeit Macht Frei" now....

[Kierkegaard]

2. "I don't remember what the germans called those not for hilter - "

They were called corpses...

3. The GOP "owned" the flag, patriotism and 9/11 about a month after 9/11

I've more than started to hear this, it's becoming entrenched.

11. Yep. When I heard Trent Lott,

Senate Majority Leader at the time, accuse Tom Daschle of giving aid and comfort to the enemy on Fox News I knew the country was in trouble. That was in February 2002.

4. This is why I picked my name here

and also why I fly my flag .

I confound them :evilgrin:

8. I often call DUers "patriot" when they show support for the Constitution

and their country.

The most patriotic point to make in this election is NO KING GEORGE.

He can stick his loyalty oath so far up his ass that David Dreier couldn't even find it.

15. That's why I also fly "The Culpepper Minutemen" flag

it says "Liberty or Death Don't Tread On Me"

hi blm :hug:

14. An article was written about me using those very words

it was the local High school newspaper ,
but It was cool none the less .

[walldude]

12. I fly mine too

since 9/11, every day. It's been a perfect metaphor for whats happened to our country. Each day it has become more torn, faded, tattered and worn. The freeper across the street chastised me for letting my flag look like that. I in turn chastised him for making my country look like that...

5. Call them what they are:

"Flag hag."

6. Could this be true?

9. Welcome to DU. Glad to have you aboard.

I just read this article, posted by another DUer. It is frightening and extremely disturbing. I'm still trying to sort it out. Whatever the real story is, I hope you will agree that BUSH MUST GO!!

7. Here's one

"Patriotism is supporting your country all the time and your government when it deserves it."
--Mark Twain

13. Here's another one.

"I prefer someone who burns the flag and then wraps himself in the Constitution over someone who burns the Constitution and then wraps himself in the flag." -- Molly Ivins
