Republicans. The occassional patriots
No pointing fingers. We are all Americans. This is not a time for partisanship.

Sound familiar?

Well we did that for 9-11. We took them at face value and because of us being Democrats and having the values that hallmark us as different from them, we gladly went along.

Then they turn on you. Ann Coulter, Rush, FOX, the list is endless of the viciousness of their attacks on us.

Now this. Amid gleaming highrises, under still Palm trees in sickening heat and humidity, streets littered with furniture and debris, people desperate and at the end of their ropes, we get the republican occasional patriot mantra...."no finger pointing!"

Not this time.

You have called us unpatriotic. This is a finger pointing at all you bastard republicans who can sit in front of your flat screens, and pass judgement on these poor people. You occasional patriots send others to fight your wars, work in awfull conditions, bemoan them having help like social security, and then when this nightmare occurs, run to the shelter of "we americans".

Your kind is not American, nor patriotic. Your kind is the world revolves around your ass.

And to borrow a line from "As Good as it Gets" you are collectively, "a horror of a human being".

1. Patriotism, like all emotions, is only for GOP elections or TV ads.
People feeling emotion during a crisis or in sympathy with "neighbours is desperate times" is too much.

BULL****!
