Patriotic AND Liberal

Right on, Patriotic Lib!!!

" In the end, the sweet sentiment that is patriotic feeling belongs to those men who are faithful in upholding and improving the moral character of their nation."

That's right, Patriotic Liberal! You got it! I am truly a patriot because I want to improve the moral character of this nation! I WILL ensure that ALL women can abort their children right up until the 9th month if that's their choice! They have the right! NOT giving them that right would be immoral!
It is absolutely moral and patriotic to enact the gun ban I intend to, because people die everyday from gunshot wounds. Those few that could defend themselves and others with a gun are too small a minority to count.
It is moral to raise taxes on rich people, because they're RICH! They got plenty of money to go 'round. They should share, 'cause sharing is good morals! It's one of the commandments. Right?

I'm glad someone finally understands me. And I thought this website would just be full of right-wing extremists!

Guess I was prejudiced!

Better angels

"From that time to ours, we have been the world’s stewards of the liberal way. And it is a way that has yielded value to us, economically and in terms of moral authority. In the end, our capacity to lead is derived from our ability to draw from “the better angels of our nature.”

So why was the invasion and liberation of Iraq, according to your opinion, comparable to "pouring precious blood, treasure, and moral capital into an Iraqi sinkhole"?

Don't the Iraqi people, suffering under their own dictator, tortured and murdered, oppressed and cowed with no where else to flee, don't they deserve a chance at freedom also?

It DOES also help us, because Al Qaeda has one less place to train. Iran fights its proxy war with us THERE, instead of HERE.

The "better angels of our nature" dictate that we free whomever we can from tyranny and oppression. I wish we could go everywhere, China and Russia foremost. Iraq was a good start.

Talk about pure nonsense!

Your lack of logic, circuitous examples and simply nonsensical opinions demonstrates very clearly why, LIBTARDS, are the actual bane of freedom.

From your 4/24/09 piece, I can see very clearly why Obambi and your left wing wackos think that if someone hold an opinion other than your selves, they should shut up....and you think this is patriotic?

If I hold a differing view, what would you have me do?

A "moderate guy"? Figures.

Your idiotic post:

i mean the truth is, you're a pretty moderate guy, and these clowns act as though you're the spawn of satan. they are truly ridiculous, but it is disheartening that there is 10-15% of the population and 20-25% of the electorate who are equally fevered and disconnected.
don't know what can be done about this swine. they don't belong in America--or any civilized country--that's for sure.
one thing that gets me is their eagerness to hurl the "anti-semite" charge. millions of Jews perished because of anti-semitism, and these turdwads are calling us advocates of a more even-handed approach to the middle-east "anti-semitic." it is a disgrace and they will burn in hell for that.
anyhow, i salute your efforts to bring the light of reason to these buffoons. it is a sisiphyean task, to be sure, but one hopes that once in awhile, a thoughtful young conservative will see their radicalist nonsense for what it is and reject it. to the extent i come here, i live in that hope.

Here's a solution...
1) Round up every war-mongering idiot Neo-Con Chickenhawk idiot in the country.
2) Draft them into the Army.
3) Give them just the basic training. A few will wet their pants, but some will make it...
4) Send them off to war against Iran.
5) Rejoice when they all come back in body bags.

Problem solved.

Seriously, though. There's nothing in Iran that is worth fighting for, and if the Israelis want to live surrounded by a billion Muslims who want to kill them, that's just Darwinism in action. you're dumb, you die..

And YOU BOTH are morally corrupt. Not fit to criticize ANYONE.

Another gem from "moderate guy"

Not really...
I think what made the joke so funny is that Palin is a hypocrite. She insists on silly things like teaching hormonally charged teens absitnence and they are going to listen to that instead of solid advice on birth control.

Sexism is bad, but you don't feel as bad when the woman is such a suckup, just like you don't feel bad when the house negro gets beaten badly. The worst thing that a black person can call another is an "Uncle Tom".

You deserve each other.

DTOM

Still doesn't understand context or have reasoning skills, it seems.

Hey, if you really want to see the resident cons in full bloom w/ their nuttiness, I suggest you visit Paddy's Pad on Paddy O'Furniture's blog... All they do is complain about how the moderates are messing up their blog...

DTOM/Eugene

Looks like your fight has spilled into here. Reminds me of Peter and that big old Rooster in "Family Guy."

but there is no moral equivalence. Eugene does not bat 1.000--no one does--but DTOM has zero fidelity to truth.
