Nope.

I'm just not impressed with self-proclaimed uber patriots who believe that they care more about the country than others who might have a different outlook on what is best for the country.

But hey, wave the flag and shout out that you're a real American and others here are not!

And I'm just not impressed with self-proclaimed uber Demoncrats who believe that they care more about the country than others who might have a different outlook on what is best for the country and want to jam changes down the throat of the public while they tax and spend like whores.

I dont speak for anyone else, but please point to any post of mine where I proclaimed that I care more about the country than others here.

Thank you in advance.

And perhaps explain at the same time your self-proclaimed non-partisanship when you post more partisan opinions/articles than all others here combined..and when the "facts" (sic) in those opinions/articles are challenged, typically respond by calling others partisan.

Sounds like a double-standard to me, which I thought you oppose.

It is not so much your thought that you and your party care more than anyone else but that you think you know what is best for our country.

When I have I said I know what's best? You're right, I offer my opinion on what I think are the best policies for the country.

And when I have I attacked the patriotism of others or said that I "care more about the country" than those who disagree with me?

[quote=Redux;616381]When I have I said I know what's best?[/qquote]Every time you post.

And that differs from what anyone else posts how?

I don't know and don't really care. But one could easily take many of your posts about the state of the nation and your responses to such as a statement of "care more about the country than those who disagree with me" in the tone of your posts as you try to contrast your position or that of your party against anyone who disagrees with your party line. You did it repeatedly in the discussion on Civil Rights, you have done it repeatedly in the Healthcare debate, and in numerous other posts. Now you act like you are someone without sin. I don't buy your bull shit.

One could say the same about you and your posts.

The difference is I have not told those who disagree with me to "fuck off" or called them "assholes" or repeatedly giving them a "failed" grade (well, it has been fun recently to throw that one back in your face).

Unlike you, when have I ever denied my partisanship? Or proclaimed that I am here to "represent the people"?

Now you are completely misquoting me. Cut the crap. I never said I was a self proclaimed patriot, never said I care more than anyone else, Never said anything about waving the flag and shouting. And most importantly I never said anything about anyone here being less of an American than I.

You're being overtly sensitive there. Everything ok?

I calls em like I sees em:
Actually I am pro America. Thats where I split ways with many people. Their first allegiance is to a party, many times without even realizing it. I don't give a flying fork what party someone is with. I care about this nation. I calls 'em like I sees 'em.
Putting our Brit friends to the side .....who among the dwellers involved in these discussions are not pro America?

I care more about the party.




They booked UT's band, and I'm planning on sex, drugs and rock&roll.
