Comment on: THE RADICAL REPUBLICAN

SO, IS DISSENT THE HIGHEST FORM OF PATRIOTISM NOW?

The Sedition Act

Wait for that puppy to be dusted off!!! Today's Dem Party bears so much resemblance to the Federalist Party and so little to the Party of Jefferson it wouldn't surprise me one bit.

You Need Re-Education Already....

Joe Biden has made it perfectly clear that paying our taxes is patriotic, and, in light of all of what you suggested, it would appear our highest patriotic duty is identical with that of the Fall of Athens.

As far as them being the "blahblah-elect" maybe for you but not for me. I won't be subjecting them to hate speech, but, liberals, many liberals, voted for Obama on the basis of vengeance: vengeance against racism, veangeance against conservatives, vengeance against the wealthy, and, most common, "vengeance againt you who subjected me as a liberal to being in the back seat!"

Not that we did but the victim mentality, the one Malcome X so notably discusses:

"No, I'm not an American. I'm one of the 22 million black people who are the victims of Americanism. One of the 22 million black people who are the victims of democracy, nothing but disguised hypocrisy. So, I'm not standing here speaking to you as an American, or a patriot, or a flag-saluter, or a flag-waver -- no, not I. I'm speaking as a victim of this American system. And I see America through the eyes of the victim. I don't see any American dream; I see an American nightmare." (Emphasis mine. See http://www.historicaldocuments.com/Ball ... lcolmX.htm, paragraph 9.)

This is the attitude, not race, which voted in Obama, and I, not willing to succumb to being a victim of government, am not a victim, so Obama surely is not my president by any interpretation.

Good luck on reaching number 1 on the blog list again though and thanks for your blog :)

Two years to save our country

My sentiments also. Obama won the election. The fair and square part is questionable, but I accept the outcome, and will not whine that he “stole” the election – eight years of that bovine scatology from the left was eight years too many.

I also will pray each day for Mr. Obama - pray that he lead our country (not just be “President Present”) and that he do as little harm as possible given his stated agenda.

I will also fervently pray for his good health throughout his administration. Biden already carries two artery clips to correct brain aneurysms. God forbid that something happen to Obama and Biden has a blowout due to the stress. Even atheists should hit their knees at the thought of President Pelosi.

That said, I will also work my hardest to cut him off at his political knees in 2010. Obama is there for four years, but we can – we MUST – remove his leftist support from the halls of Congress after the first two.

I am not talking strictly about Democrats. I also intend to go after the “me too” Republicans who would roll over like those who allowed FDR to nearly destroy our country with his social, political, and economic agendas. Mistakes we still still suffer from today.

Thanks for the comment!
I have read the sedition act thoroughly and thank God, I have no intention of overthrowing the government nor stopping military movement, unlike some left wingers in this messed up state of Washington that I live in. 20 or so "anarchists"(anarchy is such an oxymoron, someone will always be in charge)tried and effectively stopped troop supplies from coming "off" of a ship that was coming back from Iraq! as usual the left wingy idiots got it backwards and tried to stop troop supplies coming "back" instead of going "to" Iraq! (bunch of morons) Anyway, free speech is protected (for now) We'll see, and thanks again for your comments.DEV

Not quite sure how to take you comments but ok!
I'm inclined to think that Obama was voted in based on "the cult of personality" rather then race so I hope I didn't come off as one of the idiots who think he was voted in because he's African American. Might be part of it might not. Only God knows the intentions of man's hearts.
I also know some "so-called" republicans that voted for him out of spite for the way we ran the house and senate in 04-06. Again. Stupid reasons to vote...
Thanks for the comments. DEV

Thanks for the comment!
Thank you for sharing my sentiments. Yeah sometimes all you can do is pray. But isn't that cool though? Sometimes God brings us things we don't like in order to bring us to our knees! So, praying is way cool. God bless. DEV
