Conservatives – loyal to a set of values.

LOL!

“There’s a left-wing tradition of being systematically opposed to the U.S. government, knee-jerk reactionary – most of our presidents have made it fairly easy to do,” said Jo Freeman, author of “At Berkeley in the Sixties,” a memoir of her student activism. “Those who view everything the U.S. does as automatically suspect already have a problem doing that with Obama.”

Oh my, the irony and hypocrisy is too much. Can’t wait to hear the shrieks and whining when the 0ne doesn’t live up to their idea of what they think the U.S. government should be and do.

Given the amount of ‘conservatives’ doing the exact same “mourning for our country” now that O is president, I’m not convinced such a blanket statement is really working at the moment..

Mourning for the country is much different than the direct verbal attacks on the country that liberals like to use.

Besides, just the mention of the creation of a “Civilian Security Force” during a period of financial instability and mounting worldwide tension, increased hatred towards Christianity and Judiasm is an extremely threatening possibility.

I can think of another society that went through that same cycle. Are you not in fear that Barack Obama is making the same promises and actions that Hitler made, especially when the democratic party will singlehandedly control all 3 branches of government (there are many traitors in the Republican party that will side with liberals on lawmaking for the right amount of money)?

Just short of 70 years have passed since the start of WWII with the invasion of Poland, and you and you liberal buddies still haven’t learned a damn thing.

Retard.

“In recent times, our flag has been displayed more by one side of the political spectrum than the other,” Paul Templeton of Berkeley wrote. “Let’s rescue it from unreflective, knee-jerk patriotism.”

Yeah, like after 9/11. That was like so unreflective.

Idiots.

“Those who view everything the U.S. does as automatically suspect already have a problem doing that with Obama.”

These people are incredibly stupid.

P.S. An American Carol is now out on DVD, it’s a great movie.

Yep, I’m getting a free copy from the producer Jerry Zucker as I placed 3rd overall in a contest they had leading up to the theatrical release of the movie. I actually had two tickets to the cast and crew screenng of the movie but couldn’t make it, but I will get the DVD and my name is mentioned in the special features section!

Conservatives: Patriotic regardless of who is president.

Leftists: “Patriotic” when “their guy” is president.

Dead on.

Conservatives love America and the traditional values that it represents. They criticize the leadership when it makes decisions that are viewed as damaging to them, their family, and/or their country. They cherish the freedom that America gives them.

While Liberals claim they love America, they believe America is flawed. They believe there are other nations that do things better than we do. They believe that Americans have a birthright of entitlement. This entitlement includes things not listed as rights by the Founding Fathers, such as abortion and gay marriage.
They believe in a omnipotent government that will take care of them from cradle to grave.

Conservatives are mourning the possible loss of traditional values and freedoms in the days ahead.

Mourning for it isn’t the same as attacking it and reflexively taking sides with those opposed to it. The act of mourning indicates some love or at least value attached to that which is mourned for.

The sooner that generation retires and moves into obscurity the better off we will all be.

Dreadnought223 on January 7, 2009 at 2:53 AM

Unfortunately that generation is going to be in the drivers seat for the next twenty or so years. What we really need is the rise of a new radicalism, based in values like freedom and liberty, small central government with the bulk of control ceded to local elected officials.

Hmm, sound familiar? Remember those radicals from about 230 years ago?

Leftists constantly take pretty much anyone’s side against America (Venezuela, Hamas, the EU). Their attachment to the Constitution is fickle, at best, and their loyalty to their country is more or less contingent on whether or not their guy is running it.

To make matters worse, judging from your post, leftists don’t even understand that America is more than a cult of personality contingent on the presidency.

but at least there’s been a popular vote that changes the direction of the last 40 years.”

Lol if 60’s socialist radicals like Rudd really believe that Obama is actually going to change anything apart from the amount of cash in his bank account, then they are dumber than they look and and sound. The sooner that generation retires and moves into obscurity the better off we will all be.

We’re freaking losing to Andrew Sullivan.

Take Jimmy Carter for example. Western leftists, by nature, can not feel patriotism, for their great boogeyman is nationalism.

I have been looking at the Carter administration lately because I think Obama’s will mirror it in many ways.

This liberal policy is so wrong in so many ways:

This past National Security Advisor for Carter is considered
a true intellectual by the left.
People with any common sense see him as a dangerous failure:

Profile: Zbigniew Brzezinski
http://www.historycommons.org/entity.jsp?entity=zbigniew_brzezinski

Department official Henry Precht will later recall that Brzezinski had the idea “that Islamic forces could be used against the Soviet Union. The theory was, there was an arc of crisis, and so an arc of Islam could be mobilized to contain the Soviets.”

“I encouraged the Chinese to support Pol Pot…. Pol Pot was an abomination. We could never support him, but China could.”

President Carter appointed George Ball head of a special White House Iran task force under Brzezinski. Ball recommends the US should drop support for the Shah of Iran and support the radical Islamist opposition of Ayatollah Khomeini.

He suggests the US should continue aid to the Afghan mujaheddin, which actually began before the war and spurred the Soviets to invade (see 1978 and July 3, 1979). He says, “This means more money as well as arms shipments to the rebels and some technical advice.” He does not give any warning that such aid will strengthen Islamic fundamentalism.

BRZEZINSKI BOASTS OF STARTING THE AFGHAN WAR
http://www.theobamafile.com/ObamaAdvisers.htm

Q: And neither do you regret having supported the Islamic fundamentalists, having given
arms and advice to future terrorists?
Brzezinski: What is most important to the history of the world? The Taliban or the
collapse of the Soviet empire? Some stirred-up Moslems or the liberation of Central
Europe and the end of the cold war?
Q: Some stirred-up Moslems? But it has been said and repeated: Islamic fundamentalism
represents a world menace today.
Brzezinski: Nonsense! . . .

Brzezinski/Carter are considered great foreign policy giants by the left and many of these same people sit in the Obama
administration.
Watching Obama appoint Panetta to head the CIA is the same ignorant decision making that can be traced back to liberals for decades.
I was worried about a Sept.10 mentality.
Looks more like a 1979 mentality we are getting with the
“hope and change” crew.

One Pissed-Off Dude

I’m an American. This has always been my favorite label, but of late even that has seemed to mean less and less. Being called an American used to carry with it a certain pride and esprit de corps that now apparently is dated and passe. How else can one explain the rash of America-haters in our midst who only claim pride in America if a Leftist resides in the White House, and can only back a war effort if the decision to go to war was that of a Democrat.

I hear you brother!!!
