Would a TRUE Patriot be asking for tax cuts when their country
was at war and in dire need of revenue. A country deeply in debt, spending fifty billion a month more than it's earning because of war and security. Why would a Patriot want to deny their beloved country dearly needed revenue during a time of war? Patriotism means sacrifice by more than just our soldiers when times are tough. Who really is the patriot, the person that wants those best able to pay their share to sustain our country or those that want to keep everything for themselves and hell with their country? Patriotism is more than waving a flag.

2. Many republicans love their money more than they love their country.

3. Patriotism requires, IMHO, that: the Constitution be protected, defended
and preserved, rather than emasculated; fiscal and tax policies be sound to further strengthen the country, the economy and the standard of living for all people; and policies, laws, and other actions be solely in the best interest of the country, be for the common good, rather than for the good of patrons and otherwise implementing an extreme partisan ideology.

4. That's why a lot of republicans fly flags
all over their car, contsantly crowing about "Loving America" and such......
to compensate for the real feelings they have inside, which is,...
"I don't give a fuck about anybody but myself"
