You're whole argument is subjective. It's like me saying the color blue is better than the color yellow.

At this point, nothing. You made clear in post 263 that your only stance is that there is no reason to call people stupid.
So once again... have a pat on the head. That's adorable. Next time bring a point to the table.

jingo jango
bush is for jingoism not patriotism. the symbolism without the substance. Kerry has more patriotism in his leg (shrapnel) than bush has in his whole being.
unless you think it is patriotic to play fighter pilot stateside but not engage in the war that is ongoing at the time.
unless you think it is patriotic to cut veteran pay and benefits while they are fighting in a place you sent them to without a plan and without a valid purpose.
unless you think it is patriotic to pass the so called patriot act that subverts the constitution in favour of behavior more like china and the ussr of old.
unless you think it is patriotic to tell lies to the american people in order to send soldiers into an illegal private war.
evey soldier that went to viet nam and every protester that objected to the war on principle was more patriotic than hide-away shrub.
heck Jane Fonda was more patriotic than bush: she voiced and acted on her convictions that the war was wrong and needed to be ended.
when you are in the service it is patriotic to serve your country according to your orders (as long as they don't contravene the accepted codes of behavior).
when you are a civilian and you see your country embarked on the wrong course of action it is patriotic to voice that concern and act within the laws of the country to have the action corrected.
it is not patriotic to say one thing and do the other (join the ANG to avoid service in the war)
do us a favour and look up jingoism and patriotism
Jingoism Definition & Meaning | Dictionary.com
Patriotism Definition & Meaning | Dictionary.com
one can be exploited by the unscrupulous the other cannot. the old cry of "america, love it or leave it" is jingoism.
sheesh.

Re: right on.
Alright, let's get this straight, you're the one that started questioning me with this analogy you're so very fond of. I was in no way involved with any of your comments.

Yes, when your statement was that you can't call someone stupid for voting for Bush.
Since then, you moved the goalposts. So what are you still harping on for? You weaseled out successfully. Go bask in the glow of... I don't know, masturbatory victory?

Get your priorities straight then you might be worth talking to.

Re: right on.
Sigh.
My priorities are fine. I responded to something you said. You dodged repeatedly. I kept on you. You weaseled out by redefining what you were saying. I had no interest in the new, redefined statement. I stopped bothering.
In other words, you won. Y'know... in the same way that masturbating can technically be called getting some.

What? Did I miss something?

Clinton and Kerry are examples of Benedict Arnolds
Here is a real American hero, and a patriot, if you can not see the globalist agenda, that its either patriotism or globalism, and why I recommended my friends son hold enlisting into the military until its know that GWB is the commander and chief. Clinton as a globalists care not for us and our own, but then we all know thats what your goals are to give us and our to the globalists, etc...

American soldiers under U.N. command do not enjoy the rights, privileges or legal status and protection under the Geneva Conventions for prisoners of war. Former Vietnam POW, Red McDaniel said, "U.S. law provides no specific guidance concerning U.S. military involvement in conflicts while under U.N. command. Thus, under the present state of U.S. and international law, the U.S. Government has no way to protect its military personnel captured during U.N. operations from physical and mental torture, inhumane treatment, incarceration, and even execution."

Dan Carroll, Here is an example of a real Patriotic American hero, standing up for patriotism, and not globalism, if you can not see the globalist agenda, that its either patriotism or globalism, and why I recommended to a friends son caught up in the spirit of being a patriot, to hold enlisting into the military until its known that GWB is the commander and chief. Clinton as a globalists cared not for us and ours(free trade treaties, gifting china nucleur war head technology), but then we all know that your siding with Kerry that your goals are to give us and ours to the globalists, and that patriots like Michael New will not be given the freedom to stand up for ones country, but to stand down, etc...The globalist like Clinton and Kerry have taken treason to the highest level, but the bible does say we battle not flesh and blood but principalities and powers in high places, etc...Make you vote count and vote the Dem bums out of office, for they have taken treason to the highest levels, etc...

Re: right on.
I didn't weasel out of anything I didn't redefine what I said. I said people who call Bush supporters stupid isn't right. I then said calling people stupid isn't right. I've always believed that.
