    Cool


    “The difference between patriotism and nationalism is that the patriot is proud of his country for what it does, and the nationalist is proud of his country no matter what it does; the first attitude creates a feeling of responsibility, but the second a feeling of blind arrogance that leads to war.”

    ― Sydney J. Harris

    It was not only the AD falling down on the job, but wardrobe, makeup, and the political consultants.

    No spray tans, hair stray, long ties, or talk about their genitalia.

    That’s just a silly untrue quote. If i were you I would not base what I termed myself around it.

    It’s the normal insulting type crap implying that one who identifies as a Nationalist thinks their country has and can do no wrong. That’s utter stupidity.

    Keep in mind the folks on the right in this country are vastly more likely to identify as a Nationalist that those on the left. And they are also the ones who strongly support the 2nd A. That’s because we are very well aware of what this or any other govt may become. And we choose to be ready to deal with it if needed.

    Meanwhile on the left they want to give more and more control of their lives to the govt.

    Which side sounds more likely to be obedient slaves to the National govt to you?

    As expected, there is a problem regardless of the noun used to identify them or adjective used to describe them. People who are intolerant of speech with which they disagree shouldn't be identified as Liberals. American Progressives who inspired European Fascism aren't exactly progressive. Meanwhile a monument to slavery choice proponent and white supremacist, Steven Douglas stands proudly in Deep Blue Chicago ,,, as proudly as the KKK Exalted Cleagle Robert Byrd stands in the Capitol Bldg. We should never forget that Democrat Plantations inspired Nazi Concentration Camps and the execution of Jim Crow Laws inspired Nazi gas chambers.

    In the days of slavery, Democrats avoided the conflict with the Constitution by rationalizing blacks as sub-human. That is the same rationalization they use today to kill even live born babies. Sub-human. Chasing an infant around a clinic with a machete after a botched abortion is not problem because the child is sub-human and, anyway, it's a component of women's healthcare.

    For lack of a better description, I refer to these pukes as Progressive Fascists.

    No, the left is just trying to change the definition of patriotism again. I don't think it is possible to be patriotic and not at least a little nationalist. Of course, to the ignorant left, nationalist means nazi, which just shows how stupid people are on the left.

    Progressive represents advancement. The only thing American progressives are advancing is socialism.

    The nihilist core of the DP is already leaning over the edge of reason. Many Democrats might confuse an American flag for a meteor and turn into dinosaurs.


    "“According to a poll from the University of Massachusetts at Lowell, 64% of Democratic voters would rather see ‘a giant meteor strike the Earth, extinguishing all human life’ than President Trump re-elected,” reports The Week. “The poll, conducted Jan. 28–31, also shows about half of Independent voters would say the same extreme thing.”

    The existential mindset breaks down strictly along class lines, with a full 69% of those making under $50,000 a year approving of Armageddon over Trump’s re-election, compared to just 49% of those who make more than $100,000 a year."
    THE DAILY WIRE, POLL: 64% Of New Hampshire Democrats Would Rather ‘A Meteor Strike The Earth And Extinguish All Human Life’ Than See Trump Re-Elected, By Paul Bois, FEBRUARY 7TH, 2020.

    LOL. The problem with the term socialism is that all too many people associate it with an economic system as opposed to an authoritarian system of government that includes central control of the economy. Look at Bernie and his followers. They think they can stick 'Democratic' in front of 'Socialism' and make it all better ,,, because few people realize that Scandinavia is anything but diverse ,,, and that the countries are not Socialist ,,, and that it took opening free markets to enable their welfare states to be revived from the brink.

    They have been in a state of panic since 11/16. It's far worse now.

    "The events of the past week left Democrats demoralized, more unsettled over their choices and worried about their prospects in November. Iowa upended the Democrat race, scrambling the field of candidates and giving a black eye to the party due to a breakdown in tabulating results, which continued to plague Iowa and national party officials throughout the week."

    Most Americans know which country they are running for office in.
    Those that need a flag to show them, probably don't belong voting.

    I suppose the American Flag is now a "trigger" for the snowflake party. How about Mom and Apple Pie will that be a trigger as well? Probably because why should I assume only Mom's bake pies, couldn't a confused binary gender person bake a pie too? Or a stay at home pajama wearing Dad. Yep, add Mom and apple pie to the trigger category now.

    Next debate they will have to stand in front of a rainbow background.

    Why should they? There are laws in this country against false advertising.

    As if what Clinton did wasn't as bad or worse. And then there was Kerry's abject betrayal of his fellow servicemen and women.

    Might be because the debate was little more than vague platitudes promised to gut the rich to give illegals free health care, and a whole host of other inanities that if we educated people in this country instead of indoctrinating them would have gotten them laughed off the stage.

    Plenty of substance to attack. Where would you like to start?

    Want to address the free college, the open borders or the partial birth abortions? Or some other topic? Your choice.
