Doesn't it really get to you when you hear some ass hole claiming that he want his country back...

[WCGreen]

His country. HIS COUNTRY!!!

It's our country. Mother fucker!

These are the same ass holes that were once proclaiming from every podium available I love my country, right or wrong...

Unless, of course, a black man with a funny name somehow gets himself elected to the highest office in the land.

Now he wants his country back.

I have to ask, Mr. Lee Greenwood lover, where is that feeling of My Country, right or wrong?

Or is it only your country as long as your guy is in the White House?

Seems to me like a petulant way to proclaim that you are an American, right or wrong.

I took a lot of heat way back in 2004 when after the election and Kerry had given up the fight that president Bush was my president because he was officially declared the president of the whole country. Mine being that I am an American and he is the president.

That doesn't mean i liked it, that doesn't mean I would stop criticizing every boneheaded move Bush made and it certainly doesn't mean that I agreed with him on any issue of any day in his whole colossally incompetent administration.

I never said that America was my country right or wrong because that is a very simplistic way of looking at the complicated relationship we citizens have with our elected representatives holding office from Washington down to the sewer board in my small city.

But what we can say that you had your time and you supported the election of your favorite candidate. My guy was elected to be our president. There was no hint of voter fraud and there were no thugs sent anywhere to intimidate local election officials. There was no need of an assist by a scoundrel mascaraing as an "intellectually brilliant" supreme court justice.

In other words; there was simply no reason to doubt the outcome of the election. It cannot be blamed on ACORN. It cannot be blamed on Voter Fraud. It cannot be blamed on anything other than the simple fact that your party up in Minneapolis picked an Old Man who was loosing his grip on reality and an air-headed twit to represent your party.

So what is it going to be Mr. Super Patriotic Guy, are you going to keep shouting that you want your country back and so keep on exposing your immaturity and lack of knowledge of our political system? Or are you going to grow up and stop with the histrionics and join the adult world. I mean come on, you are getting well into your middle ages and it really is time to grow up.

3. If I was writing for a less partisan audience I would of course had

laid out more groundwork.

I made assumptions of shared knowlege.

4. Change their complexion from what?

[eShirl]

7. American people have come in many different complexions for a few hundred years now

at least

[WCGreen]

8. I guess some people have a hard time dealing with that...

Even in this day and age.

It's good to see more and more people are acting as if they are color blind when in comes to the hue of one's skin...

9. "Change their complexion?" What the ever-loving fuck are you talking about?

To change the complexion, there has to be a single characteristic complexion to begin with. This was true only before the arrival of the Europeans who themselves had different characteristic complexions and brought with them Africans and were soon followed over time other ethnic groups with still other characteristic complexions.

What a barking, foaming-at-the-mouth, just shit-ignorant statement.


The first immigrants to America were Norse, English and African, followed by French, Germans, Spaniards, Asians, Persians, Indians, more Africans, Russians, etc. You know. EVERYWHERE ELSE. So yeah. We DID let in immigrants of all cultures and creeds.

2. Most excellent rant...

I don't think those people are capable of growing up...

After all, their schools were run by Republican school boards, so what can you expect? Idiocy.

They're so busy shouting that they can't hear anyone else.

5. "I want my country back"...

Translated means:

"I want the country to go back to when wimminfolk stayed home and made babies and cookies, and the cullud people knew their place."

[WCGreen]

6. Exactly!

10. When liberals protest the government, they're called traitors

When conservatives protest the government, they're called patriots.

:grr:

11. At my age it's easy to tune those suckers out...

[petronius]

12. It doesn't get to me. I just think "Oh look - another douchebag who's

scared of everything different from him, has a delusional belief in some past Golden Age, and suffers from deep-rooted insecurity about his masculinity. Probably not very trustworthy, and definitely not someone I should do business with or spend time around." Then I go on with whatever I was doing...

13. Compare to European "revanchism"

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Revanchism

Although revanchism apparently refers to territorial disputes, I've heard some speakers talk of Tea Party nostalgia for the U.S.A. "before" Obama as American Revanchism.

14. Interesting....

[HopeHoops]

15. Not really. Well, at least not if he's a Native American.

They're really the only ones who can say that without moving me to laughter.

[RUMMYisFROSTED]

16. Howard Dean's stump speech contained this line.

It's all relative.

[WCGreen]

17. I guess it is....
