AMERICAN PATRIOTISM?Jul 3rd, 2008 - 09:21:38

The american patriotism is so crooked, dishonest, transgressive, violation of other's rights etc., that it is shameful to have PATRIOTISM DEFINED BY US GEVERNMENT!!!

USA is the only country in the world that decorated a captain of a ship after THE BEAST DOWNED A CIVILLIAN AIRLINER.

America is being presented as the ROGUE NATION, while the people are good but the government is most corrupt on the face of the earth!!!

IT NEEDS TO HAVE A REAL PATRIOT, WHO WILL BRING THE IMAGE OF THE NATION BACK TO WHERE IT BELONGED, WHEN CREATED BY GEN GEORGE WASHINGTON!!!

Obama's birth certificate is a fake. The required embossed state seal is missing. Embossing is the process of applying a 3D-like crimp to both sides of a piece of paper. A little more investigative journalism and a little less cheerleading please.

Yes, yes. We all know your opinions by now: 'Anyone that does not agree with me is a terrorists'. We need to update The Oxford American Dictionary to define Terrorism:

the use of the opposite of any opinion in the pursuit of political aims.

These days, if you don't wrap yourself in a flag and pray to jesus then you are not patriotic.

But, you have to do it the right way. If you tailor the flag in the wrong way then that is called disrespect. If you pray to jesus while not calling muslims terrorist then that is called fake. And you must be of the correct pedigree, from a bible state and have a lineage on the right side of town, you know: The side where slaves and other undesirables were not invited.

NEWS BULLETIN: McCain: 'Patriotism is putting country first before all else'

Holy bejesus! Jesus ranks second. I guess since the Supreme Court signs off on killing unborn babies than jesus plays second fiddle to this issue too.

The real question is patriotic to what America. Some are patriotic to the America of our founders and others are patriotic to their new idea of they think America should be which is European type socialism. You chose which way you want the country to go. Limited government or centralized government control over every aspect of our lives. Remeber your choices will affect future generations for a long long time to come.
