1. Well, let's take a look at history shall we
Prescott Bush funded Adolf Hitler, and in doing so helped kill some 20 million people.

George Bush Sr. established worldwide CIA drug smuggling (hence his nickname "Poppy") and funded the creation of terrorist organizations worldwide from The Contras to Al Qaeda (led by one CIA agent Tim Osman a.k.a. Osama Bin Laden, a friend of the Bush family for ages.

George Bush Jr and his associates willingly turned their backs on numerous warnings of an impending terrorist attack against the USA, in order to manufacture the justification for the PNAC global fascist agenda - which was written by the very people who became his cabinet.

Who's a traitor?

4. seriously
for all the money and support Adolf Hitler got at home and abroad, Prescott Bush's contributions were miniscule.

Hell, the Swedes supplied Hitler with most of the high grade iron ore he needed for his military industry. The ore was so important Hitler invaded Norway in 1940 to prevent the British from cutting off his shipments.
The Soviet Union's pact with hitler in 1939 is what enabled Hitler to start the war in the first place, and then the USSR invaded Poland from the east. The Soviet Union supplied Hitler with enormous amounts of raw materials until the day they were invaded too, on June 22, 1941. A last trainload of coal and oil crossed the border less than an hour before Germany invaded

15. While I do believe Poppy's the world's biggest drug dealer, the name
doesn't come from that.

It goes back to his preppy days in Yale or another school before that.

It's not his S&B nickname, I know that.

Other than that, the rest of the info you gave is accurate and correct. :)

2. Did You vote? Which branch are you joining up with(military)?
Alternative: free speech is patriotic, ever read the constitution?
I support my country all the time and my government when it deserves it (mark Twain)

Other alternative: smile and walk away.

3. Fed up
I've about reached the point where someone is going to spit teeth if they ever question my patriotism as they support an administration that has trashed this country, killed our children, raped our environment, and diminished our standing in the world.

7. Point out a quote by Teddy Roosevelt:
"To announce that there must be no criticism of the President, or that we are to stand by the President, right or wrong, is not only unpatriotic and servile, but is morally treasonable to the American public. Patriotism means to stand by the country (the Constitution). It does not mean to stand by the President or any other public official save exactly to the degree in which he himself stands by the country. It is patriotic to support him insofar as he efficiently serves the country. It is unpatriotic not to oppose him to the exact extent that by inefficiency or otherwise he fails in his duty to stand by the country."

9. He's confusing patriotism with nationalism.
Edited on Wed Mar-09-05 02:40 PM by catzies
And explaining the difference would probably tax his peabrain, so just give him this Mark Twain quote:

"Patriotism is loving your country all the time, AND YOUR GOVERNMENT WHEN IT DESERVES IT."

13. I would tell him that anyone who expects blind allegiance
to the governement regardless of the actions of the government - and the president - is the one who is unpatriotic.

14. I tell him that bush is killing this country and that the
conservative is the traitor and unpatriotic for not trying harder to get rid of bush. Throw the same line back on them and watch their minds reboot because didn't think such a comment was possible.

My Dad is a WWII and Korea vet, recipient of two Purple Hearts among numerous decorations for valor and guess what. He hates Bu$h too. What are you going to do, call HIM a traitor too?
