Now you're sounding like Sarah Palin :
We believe, we believe that the best of America is in these small towns that we get to visit, and in these wonderful little pockets of what I call the real America, being here with all of you hard-working, very patriotic, pro-America areas of this great nation. This is where we find the kindness and the goodness and the courage of everyday Americans: those who are running our factories and teaching our kids and growing our food and are fighting our wars for us
It is that kind of self-righteous divisive bullshit (Classic: Actually I am pro America. Thats where I split ways with many people...) that I find insufferable, if not laughable.

I care more about the party.




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

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

Quote:
You're right, I offer my opinion on what I think are the best policies for the country.
And that differs from what anyone else posts how?

Quote:
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?
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"?

Putting our Brit friends to the side .....who among the dwellers involved in these discussions are not pro America?
Who among our fellow dwellars were mentioned? None. I wasn't referring to anyone from here. I was referring to the extremists and/or blowhards in both parties. A few simple examples for you would be....Joe, Rush, Rachael, Sean, Glenn & Keith.

Absolutely. It is the politics thread dude. That was my point.

Eh, so you don't like my delivery sometimes, fuck off.

Because someone is against the party in power, currently the Demoncrats since they gained the majority in Congress, does not mean one is in the "other" party. No matter how hard you have tried to box me into a Republickin mold. It would never work. I would never be accepted. Nice try though.:p

Right....posting more partisan opinions/articles than all others combined, then attacking as "partisan", anyone who might question the veracity of those partisan opinions/articles.

I guess you dont see the double standard from someone who is so anti-double standard.

Wait a minute: Gearge W Bush is a repubican!

You only call them partisan because they disagree with your parties position on the issues. That does not mean they implictly support the Repubs.

There is no double standard.
