did not say I was more patriotic...said I was not stupid to believe in the endless lies that buckwheat lays on us..you, old timer, have bought in hook line and sinker...almost like you have a vested stake in the ideas of Obama...you running a welfare queen resort up there???
Just because we differ on some issues in politics- does not mean either is less or more patriotic...I just don't believe that fearmongering and hatemongering using race and homophobia--and scare tactics promoted by the NRA to build up their coffers is a sign of patriotism....
It doesn't matter the President- I'll support them until they show me different...Just like I did with Bush, until it became evident of what his actions/inactions were doing, especially to the economy- even tho earlier the rightwing and the leftwing were both ripping him a new arse...
And while I don't support all of the Liberal ideas/sections on some of these important issues/bills- health care reform, Long term energy Act, Jobs Stimulus, etc.- many of these have been needed for 5-10-15-30 years- (all promised by GW) and nothing was done...At least now someone is looking at and trying to do something....
And I don't pee down my leg in fear over the actions of this Administration so far as some seem to be doing...I realize that the Bush Bust has put us into an area we have not been in for 70-80 years since the time Hoover put us in the same shape...And much of the ground broke afterward then too was treading new waters....And some folks were peeing their pants then over the "socialism" of the WPA, CCC, and the start up of unemployment insurance and social security that Roosevelt started up...
But the country didn't turn out communist as the leg pee'ers were preaching-and today Roosevelt is thought of as one of the greatest Presidents-and many of the progressive actions he took are landmarks of civilized nations around the world..
