"And yes, he (Bush) should question their patriotism. Because they're acting unpatriotically."

Nice. On Veteran's day he writes this no less.

1. They just can't get over the fact

That we've been right about everything.

2. Typical that the rethugs would pull the patriot card on Vet's Day!

And the 4th of July, and MLK Day, and President's Day... sheesh, these morans are getting WAY too predictable!

[Vincardog]

3. And here I thought political dissent wat the highest form of Patriotism

[Mojambo]

4. If Bush directly questioned the Democrats patriotism

The Democrats should loudly stand up in front of every camera they can find and tell the President to "Go Straight to Hell"

I mean it.

5. Senator Kennedy came close.

"Its deeply regrettable that the president is using Veterans Day as a campaign-like attempt to rebuild his own credibility by tearing down those who seek the truth about the clear manipulation of intelligence in the run-up to the Iraq war," Kennedy said in a statement.

"Instead of providing open and honest answers about how we will achieve success in Iraq and allow our troops to begin to come home," Kennedy said, "the president reverted to the same manipulation of facts to justify a war we never should have fought."

8. Or tell Bush to enlist

his fine daughters

[Supersedeas]

11. They need to emphasize that it is VETERANS day--not cheap partisan

Rovian dirty trick day.

[loudsue]

14. Yep: It's VETERANS day....NOT "republicans" day.

I'll bet there were a LOT of Democratic, or anti-bush, veterans in that audience, and they had to sit there and listen to bush's trash.

Bush IS trash.

:kick:

15. Then they should start rattling off all the Dems who have

military experience vs the repukes who do.

The repukes who do would be a very short list.

Then they can ask repukes just how patriotic they were when Clinton was in office.

Part of being patriotic is OPENING your mouth, engaging your brain, and asking QUESTIONS.

We the people deserve answers, no matter WHAT party is in power.

Period.

6. yet today the vets testimony ain't happening

that is how so called patriots suport the troops, :sarcasm:

[Gildor Inglorion]

7. What a damned fool! Unpatriotic is lying us into an unnecessary war....

wrecking our economy, murdering over 2000 American soldiers and untold numbers of innocent Iraqis. UNPATRIOTIC IS SUPPORTING THE ILLEGITIMATE CHICKENHAWK NEOCON B*SHIT ADMINISTRATION!!!
:rant:

OK, I feel much better now. Thanks for listening.

9. you welcome

[Dogmudgeon]

10. He's a bright fellow, that Glenn Reynolds

It's a shame he's so often wrong.

It's also a shame he hangs out with such louts, but everyone has their vices.

--p!

[RobertSeattle]

12. Smart people do dumb things all the time

The mature ones at least admit when they are wrong and try to make amends.

[Bouncy Ball]

13. I don't know who Reynolds is but he can pucker up and

kiss my ass. Twice.

I WONDER HOW PATRIOTIC HE WAS WHEN CLINTON WAS IN OFFICE???

LOL!

16. Glenn Reynold's patriotism

as well as Bush's is about fucking over American citizenship and civilization in the name of American corporations' profits, retaining the colonial social and economic caste system generally, and worship of Mammon, Moloch, and Ego particularly.

No thanks, Glenn. Find your time machine and zip back to 1861, that's when your kind was truly in vogue. Funny how they had to write a grossly modified Constitution to accommodate that dream you share with them. Sadly, you still pretend the Confederate Constitution is the law of the land as does the rest of your ilk- I'm so sorry for the disservice you do your students. They really should get refunds and you return to working at Walmart.

The 14th Amendment exists, our side champions it, it's our patriotism and will defeat your side's denial of it soon enough. Whine all you like, you're on the losing side of history.
