I'm right, you're wrong. Deal with it.

I’m not getting the warm fuzzies about any of youse patriotism.

OTOH, questioning a person’s patriotism is like questioning their truthfulness. There are going to be some hurt feelings.

Admin likes graphs and concrete facts, real numbers, your question cannot be answered except subjectively. I consider myself quite manly for a short dude with a 3, ok, 2 inch pecker.

Questions like these are artificial hurdles self-righteous folks place in the path of others. There is a lot of insecurity behind it, like questioning a man’s masculinity. There is no measure for it, it’s just there like a pair of clackers.

You might as well have asked: Are you a hero?

Z- If this country collapsed tomorrow, what would you hope for our future?

Glad I’m late to this thread.

A patriot is someone who is loyal to the Constitution. I am such a person.

Your also a hero, and like a true hero, you never mention it.

SSS- Do you believe as some here that this country is beyond repair? Do you believe that we could just start over without interference from those who have worked so hard to destroy this Republic? Just wondering as you seem to be steadfast in answering this question.

Z- I have never seen so many confused people with so little regard for the gift of freedom they were handed and are so willing to declare it dead with no clue as to where it could end up. Sad.

What freedom? Where is this thing? Oh wait, it can be found in Switzerland, Uruguay and in dozens of other countries. What am I missing?

What is sad is Americans who think that their way of life, liberty, hotdogs and apple pie are threatened if their government doesn’t wave the biggest dick on the planet. The Iranians (some of them), say Death to American. While it is merely an idiom, equivalent to saying fuck off, most Americans, Death to America would be a good thing.

Questions from Bea Lever, with my answers in parens.

SSS –

Do you believe as some here that this country is beyond repair? (No I do not.)

Do you believe that we could just start over without interference from those who have worked so hard to destroy this Republic? (We don’t need to “start over.” We just need to stand up to the liberal statists, starting with people like Obama, and defeat their agenda constitutionally. That’s gonna take a while.)

Just wondering as you seem to be steadfast in answering this question. (Yes, indeed. Color me old fashioned, but I believe that the Constitution is the best LEGAL AND SOCIAL contract ever written.)

Z- May your future bring you these things:

That you are told where and with whom you will live in assigned shithole housing

That you are assigned your job that you will report to daily for low wages with no regard for what you would LIKE to do to earn your money

That you are restricted from travel outside your small area without approval from the local .gov asshole which will most likely cost you a bribe.

That you are restricted from owning personal transport and are doomed to using only public transportation that is inefficient and time consuming etc.etc.etc.

Bet you will wish you had this system back that seems to YOU not to have any freedom.

SSS wins a prize.

please read this thread again and shake your head in disbelief. This started yesterday in the “Trumpism” thread and for a while I was not sure if I had stumbled into Twilight Zone.

I don’t know what the fuck you are talking about. A very small step to freedom would mean being able to meet a visitor, once again, at the gate of an airport. Very small. A greater step would be hanging Dick Cheney as a war criminal, but I have little hope for that.

Seriously Z, may you live in the hell of PURE CONTROL and long for the freedom you have had in your lifetime.

Stucky- Did you see my wish list for Zara?

This is what I see in most of you who have declared this country broken beyond repair. Those who have worked hard to get us to this point WILL NOT allow it to be restored with the same freedoms you have enjoyed in your lifetime. Be careful what you sign up for. Funny that SSS and I see things differently.

Stucky,

I’m not a Trump supporter (as yet), I’ll probably vote for no one. But if Trump is not one of the Establishment, there is at least a chance that he’ll remember that his power base is the people that voted for him. Adolf, Josef, and Mao are not the only possible analogies; was Gaius Julius a better potential leader for Rome than the oligarchs in the Senate?
