I'm not a member of the Tea Party....although I do notice the hypocrisy and the double standards from the naive elitist pompousasses on the looney left. The left is quick to point out and criticize all those horrible extreme 'eccentricies' like flag waving, patriotism, and love of country,...but when extremes, like rape, rioting, burning and vandalizing private property, assault, drug use, attacking police are coming from far left anarchists like the 'Occupy Wall Street' terrorists you guys are silent.(August 13, 2012 at 8:23 am)A Theist Wrote: I was only trying to point out, that in the course of his shoveling out vitriol and hogsh*t and America bashing, he should at least appreciate the liberties he has in this country without the worry of government retribution that he would receive in other countries,...I wasn't telling him to shut up.
I'm reminded of that scene in "Get Shorty", where a mob lieutenant (played by Dennis Farina) is speaking to his boss about a problem he was having with his peer (played by John Travolta).
"He's got no respect for us!"
"No, he's got no respect for YOU."
While I know it is the custom of the wacky right here to conflate itself with "real America", the fact is that Min's contempt for the right wing is not taken by anyone else to be an attack on America itself.
And furthermore, if anyone hates this country and the constitution it is the wacky right wing. For all your flag waving, the only value you people have is "win at any cost".
