Why Do Democrats Hate America?

Why Do Democrats Hate America?

If you believe there is a war being waged on the rights of women, you may be an “unpatriotic” America hater. That is according RNC spokesman Sean Spicer who declared that describing the effort to set the social progress of women in America back half a century as a “war” is unpatriotic.


What voters should object to, many Republicans say, is Democrats’ efforts to characterize political disputes as a “war on women.”

“I find it offensive that the Democratic National Committee is using a term like that to describe policy differences,” said Sean Spicer, a spokesman for the Republican National Committee. “It’s not only bad, but it’s downright pathetic they would use a term like ‘war’ when there are millions of Americans who actually have engaged in a real war. To use a term like that borders on unpatriotic.”

Someone tell Sean Spicer that Nixon must have been unpatriotic for using the word 'war' when referring to something that's not a real 'war'.
And President Obama is VERY patriotic



... The term "War on Drugs" was first used by President Richard Nixon in 1971.

On May 13, 2009, Gil Kerlikowske, the current Director of the Office of National Drug Control Policy (ONDCP), signaled that although it did not plan to significantly alter drug enforcement policy, the Obama administration would not use the term "War on Drugs," as he claims it is "counter-productive" ...
