   Dissent is only patriotic when you are (a) liberal, and (b) protesting against (1) the war in Iraq, (2) war crimes committed by the criminals in the Bush administration, (3) anyone who thinks that BO won’t bring “hopenchange” to the government, (4) conservative columnists, bloggers, and spokesmen who point out the fact that the Emperor has no clothes, or (5) all of the above.

   Anything else is pure, unadulterated hate speech, and those indulging in it should be immediately silenced and sent to the soon-to-open reeducation camps.

    You’re forgetting about the obligatory double standard. Dissent against Republican policies is patriotic. Dissent against Liberal policies is hateful.

    Come to think of it, as far as liberals are considered, Patriotism is hateful when Conservatives (or even Republicans) express it.

    First of all you cannot cite me a single example of any Conservative or Republican politician, or for that matter even a high-profile conservative blogger/pundit calling someone unpatriotic for that. It’s a beloved liberal myth completely unsupported by reality. Which, now that I think about it, makes it like most other Liberal thoughts.

    Secondly you really, really need to look up the word “lie” and see what it means. When you clearly don’t know the meaning of so simple a word it gives one cause to doubt the validity of everything else you say.

    Or even calling true soldiers as unpatriotic by crazy pinko crowd for rightly beating terrorists form Afghanistan…

    I’d love to rebut that but frankly I can’t figure out what you’re trying to say.

    Then you don’t understand what sour grapes are. You should bone up on your Aesop.

    Sour grapes, in this case, would be something like “I’m glad Obama won, let him take the blame for all this” or “Obama won so my country is therefore stupid/evil/corrupt etc, so I don’t care what happens”.

    That’s not what anyone is saying though, at least not here. What you have here is people who object to Obama’s plans based on an assortment of pragmatic and idealogical grounds. And it’s worth noting that we had all the same objections when Republicans proposed these things.

    For you to interpret that as sour grapes is beyond silly.

    I’d add that so many of the immature socialists seem to consider elections as a type of game, like a basketball game or tennis match; or, a sort of student-council election popularity contest; hence, their silly, shallow, mindless cheerleading.

    However, I think elections have become a high-stakes, existential struggle for survival.
    Our nation, society, culture, pocketbooks,..and now, our very civilization and lives are at stake.

    And what do the socialists do?
    Well, they do not disappoint.
    As they have for decades, they dismiss concerns, ridicule, and project their faults, bad habits, and bad intentions onto others.

    Since “liberalism” is now considered the “norm” in this country, that makes it the standard, hence “conservative”. I, hereby, declare myself a “liberal” and dissent against the government. I will now support a candidate who will come out and be for “hope and change” in our government. Now that I am a liberal, I should be considered patriotic, vowing dissent…maybe organize a “code red”. I shall demonstrate against the new conservatives by demonstrating in front of military recruiting posts with banners praising our troops. I shall also go to military funerals and demonstrate by bowing my head, lowering the flags, and having a moment of silence for the brave soldier and his family. In this age now, that ought to get at least front page of the NYT. Maybe a downtown D.C. march chatting, “Yes, yes, we will go!”. I was once a young man and quite the “liberal” in the 60s. Ah, this feels good again.

    King Missile It’s Saturday Lyrics:
    I want to be different, like everybody else I want to be like
    I want to be just like all the different people
    I have no further interest in being the same,
    because I have seen difference all around,
    and now I know that that’s what I want
    I don’t want to blend in and be indistinguishable,
    I want to be a part of the different crowd,
    and assert my individuality along with the others
    who are different like me
    I don’t want to be identical to anyone or anything
    I don’t even want to be identical to myself
    I want to look in the mirror and wonder,
    “who is that person? I’ve never seen that person before;
    I’ve never seen anyone like that before.”
    I want to call into question thevery idea that
    identity can be attached
    I want a floating, shifting, ever changing persona:
    Invisibility and obscurity,
    detachment from the ego and all of it’s pursuits.
    Unity is useless
    Comformity is competitive and divisive and leads only to
    stagnation and death.
    If what I’m saying doesn’t make any sense,
    that’s because sense can not be made
    It’s something that must be sensed
    And I, for one, am incensed by all this complacency
    Why oppose war only when there’s a war?
    Why defend the clinics only when they’re attacked?
    Why are we always reactive?
    Let’s activate something
    Let’s f–k s–t up
    Whatever happened to revolution for the h–l of it?
    Whatever happened to protesting nothing in particular, just
    protesting cause it’s Saturday and there’s nothing else to do?

    which is nothing at all like dissent based upon historically sound economic principles. Comparisons of those going against Pres Obama’s policies shouldn’t be compared to the Left unless they’re followed by /sarc off.

    Your wrong. I have it from reliable sources that the money will be used to fund research into the modification of human DNA so we will dislike the taste of meat and all become vegetarians.

    They already modified tobacco to cause lung cancer, so this should be a snap.

    I’m with you, Michelle.

    I dissent.

    Obama’s new “economic stimulus” fixes nothing, and actually makes things worse.

    Has anything been done to fix the root cause problems that led to the Fannie/Freddie mess? Democrats created that problem, Democrats made that problem worse, Democrats prevented Republicans from regulating Fannie/Freddie more (Dems practically calling Reps racists for the “political lynching” of Raines), Democrats successfully blamed the problem on Republicans and used it to gain complete control of the Presidency and both houses of Congress.

    Have they done anything to fix the root cause problems, or have they only enabled massive funding to their campaign contributors and organizations like ACORN?

    Socialism is not change I can believe in.

    President Obama’s new economic stimulus ploy is to declare that no dissent on the need for massive government action exists.

    Perhaps they’ll drag Joe Biden out of the closet to call the dissenters…unpatriotic.

    RULE 12: Pick the target, freeze it, personalize it, and polarize it.” Cut off the support network and isolate the target from sympathy. Go after people and not institutions; people hurt faster than institutions. (This is cruel, but very effective. Direct, personalized criticism and ridicule works.)

    Liberals know absolutely nothing about the meaning of patriotism.

    They spit on the flag, defend the “right” to burn it, and then turn around and act as if they are the arbiters of what constitutes patriotism.

    They sully the sacred meaning of the flag and our Constitution when they do so.

    You call this dissent?

    Sounds more like sour grapes.

    Hope is not a plan. Not all change is good. When they come for me, my family, my friends, my neighbors, I’ll be manning the barricades. Resistance is here. Resistance is now. RESIST!

    Have Obama or Biden or any top Democrats called these people unpatriotic or tried to stifle them in any way?

    Da One has accused the Republicans of playing politics with the “[non]stimulus” package, being rigid, and intransigent while the “common people,” with whom the Democratic Socialist Party has nothing in common, suffer. Da One has gone on a tour to “appeal directly to the American people,” by which he means Da Obamedia, to pressure the Republicans to submit. If that’s not accusing them of being “unpatriotic” or trying “to stifle them in anyway, you must have already subscribed to “Newspeak.”

    The resistance is here. The resistance is now. RESIST!
