[...]
"In language reeking with hatred, the Heritage Foundation's
TownHall.com readers impolitely informed me that opposing the
invasion of Iraq is identical to opposing America, that [...]"
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
That doesn't mean there is any historical
precedent for that belief... Here's history:
Quote:
"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."
-Theodore Roosevelt
Furthermore...
Senator George J. Mitchell speaking to Colonel Oliver North:
" Although he is regularly asked to do so, God does not take sides in
American politics. And, in America, disagreement with the policies of
the government is NOT evidence of a lack of patriotism.
I WANT TO REPEAT THAT!
In America, disagreement with the policies of the government is NOT
evidence of a lack of patriotism. Indeed, it's the very fact that we
can openly disagree with the government without fear of reprisal that
is the essence of our freedom, and will keep us free."

Why is everyone afraid to say the neocons are facists?
Oh... and Jewish, too, about 50%... way out of
proportion to the percentage in the American
population. I know I'm going to get slammed
by some ignoramus before they even check
the facts...
Go ahead, I'm Jewish, and these people are Jews
in name only... as GWB is Christian in name only.
Jeez, even Pat Robertson is backtracking.
The religions these people practice have *nothing*
to do with spirituality, and alot to do with culture.

"I like to believe that people in the long run are going to do more to
promote peace than our governments. Indeed, I think that people
want peace so much that one of these days governments had
better get out of the way and let them have it." - Dwight Eisenhower
