"Did I say I didn't like Patriotism? All I said was I don't call myself one, and gave one example as to why not. My step father was blinded in WW2, he is now 94 years old and calls himself a patriot. I respect that, he has earned that…"

"I had high hope for you Hillbilly. You infer fear where there is none. I was pointing out one example of a difference between love of country and being a patriot. There are lots of terms I will not embrace because now it means something different.…"

"Hi HillbillY!, If you had followed the thread, you will see that I was originally just taking issue with someone claiming that they and the peeps of their political persuasion love this country more than others, especially as it seemed to be…"

"Hi Hillbillie, I don't doubt those Gallup results at all. They didn't ask, "do you love your country?" they asked if they are patriotic. It may seem a small difference, but being a patriot is to be inspired by your love of…"

"Anyway, I'm gone for the weekend, have a happy fourth."

"You asked me to back up the claim that you said you were the only ones that loved this country, and I copied your exact words. What claim have I made that has gone unsubstantiated? The part about me being dissapointed in Obama? You're right, I…"

"There you have it folks! You give him enough rope by asking for an intelligent debate and he hangs himself. He asks for evidence, and when presented with it he crumbles. Pity..."

"So you agree you made the claim? "We are the ones who love this country" You are wrong to tell someone that they hate the principles upon which this country was founded upon, it's customs, traditions, and the liberty and freedom. You…"

"Brono 921 responded to: "To claim that you and people who think like you are the only ones who love this country proves you lack the basic understanding" by asking this: " Hmmmmm......you can show where such a claim was made, of…"

"If you're going to quote The Beatles, quote correctly: "It's getting better all the time Better, better, better. It's getting better all the time Better, better, better" And I hope they're right when they also…"

"When you take the wheel from a drunken driver, it takes a while to get the car under control. I am dissapointed however, in Obama's approach, typical of the Dems, which is why I left the party in the mid 80's. You can blame Obama for not…"

"Actually, Hillbillie has a point. If you can't or won't "embrace", then being "indifferent" works. That is also called tolerance. It's better than the alternative, which is to hate, fear and destroy. Although not…"

"And what is your point about the flag? Did you even read the article? The man was arrested for harm done to the concrete shuffleboard court where his group was burning the Mexican flag, and for assaulting a cameraman. He was not arrested for burning…"

"What is my ilk, tolerant? I am not a democrat, I speak out against homophobes and racists which are in all political party's. The Republicans just seem to attract the most. I am for the second amendment. Before you try and exchange barbs with…"

""speech and copulation..." Isn't that oral sex? (sorry, couldn't resist) To fail to see the association and instead focus on the word "speech" as opposed to the civil liberty issue that has been argued numerous times…"

"Why weren't you more clear then that it is the correlation between the first amendment and personal freedom with regards to whom we sleep that you didn't understand? You stating that you had "no idea what that means" implied you…"
