Why do Republicans consider themselves "patriotic"?

[Freewill]

Republicans again and again try to blast the left for what they consider "unpatriotic". And to do it, they need to make up the most ridiculous nonsense, like Democrats are working towards a "new world order" or Democrats want to "redistribute" the wealth.

They talk about liberty but engage in voter suppression.

You mean like the following or is your description of suppression trying to keep felons and illegals from voting and voting more then once.

They insist they love veterans yet cut food stamps for disabled veterans.

Since this bit of crap keeps coming up I tried to think of how the minority party gets anything passed. How is that even possible? Sure maybe in the House but the Senate? Well here is how: Only 9 Senate Democrats Voted Against the SNAP-Cutting Farm Bill

Only 9 Senate Democrats Voted Against the SNAP-Cutting Farm Bill

And that ain't FOX news reporting that your favorite DailyKos. What a stack of out right liars are the liberal left.

And the President signed the bill without any mention, that I saw, of what HE and the DEMOCRATS were doing to the vets.

President Obama signed the bipartisan farm bill Friday, saying it will promote agriculture, provide more money for research into the environment and energy, and feed hungry Americans through the food stamp program.

Obama signs farm bill

I am going to take a very huge leap of faith here and assume you understand what the word bipartisan means. If not google.

Of course I do have to add, the left never pretended to like vets.

They complain the country is divided, yet they are 90% white.

They ignore the massive redistribution of wealth under Bush.

Bush who? WTF is wrong with you? The democrats have been in control for 8 years and Obama has been destroying the middle class for over 5 and you still bring up Bush, grow up. This article clearly points out the two face liberals.

Worst of all, so many discuss "secession".

If the nation is divided there is only one place to place blame, that is with the leader.

It seems their policies are designed to hurt as many Americans as possible. So many seem to have a real hatred for anyone not like them.

Read my signature line and you can feel the hate.

Why anyone reads anything you post is a puzzle.

It has reached the point that anytime I hear to someone refer to themselves as a patriot, I pretty much know that person is in all likelihood an uneducated overweight hypocritical redneck.

Good job on ruining what it means to be a "patriot".

A fine display of bigotry.

Yeah, the Republican brand needs some fixing. I love reading about the old time Republicans. Back when they were the thinking man's party and not the lowest common denominator party.

Today's Republican party is controlled by deep moneyed interests who do a great job of fleecing totally average people into their little swindle that promises wealth distribution for their voters as long as they vote for them. The promise of tax cuts trickling down from rich people to their own pockets is the greatest fleecing in modern American history. It's the basis of their entire economic platform: Vote for us and we'll invite you to the cool kids table. Except they never invite them. They just stoke their fears and their anger about "the government" as some great boogieman in their lives when the real loss of freedom they face is by turning their minds off and being prisoners to their own ignorance.

You don't have to tow the entire Democratic party platform to be a Democrat. But if you fall out of line on just one thing within the Republican platform, they treat you like you're the scum of the Earth. It's the single greatest difference between the parties, and the least attractive quality of today's GOP.

Wow! Now that's projection.

 

[FJO]

rdean puked, in his pathetic effort to demean Republicans:

"They talk about liberty but engage in voter suppression."

Those dastardly Republicans - and also the equally as dastardly Democrats - engage in:

Driver's suppression, by demanding that to drive a person must have a licence.

Traveler's suppression, because they have the gall to require travelers to have a passport.

THE NERVE OF THESE BASTARDS!!!!

No, of course you don't.

But try to be:

1. Supporter of traditional marriage.
2. Against abortion.
3. Opposing affirmative action.
4. Advocating school vouchers.
5. Saying that you have a right to work.
6. Against unions that take your dues, but do nothing for you.
7. Saying that you support prayers at public events.
8. Against a national minimum wage law.

And see how welcome you would be in the Democrat party.

same chit different day

how many time can someone post about the same thing over and over and over and over

you see folks, we are just suppose to believe all these fairy tales, like how Republicans cut vets foods stamps, JUST BECAUSE the one who is mentally ill, SAY SO

oooooooooo, he throws out this Republicans are 91 % white.....how dare all those whites HAVE Representation, yet Democrats like to CROW they have 95% of the black vote, If I were a black person, I'd offended by this for they make it seem like, THEY OWN THEM and no matter what EVEN if they fail miserable they will still vote for us, they're our slaves

Little Deanie can't grasp the laughable double standard of Democrats who require valid ID to get into their own convention yet declare that you shouldn't need the same valid ID in order to vote.

You have summed up in a few words precisely why we say that the left does not like our vets.

You have summed it up pretty well although your conclusion is incorrect. What you describe is what has been said about democrats and the liberal left for years, they toe the party line. No room for dissention even on points they SAY they disagree. Bravo I like being proved right. On the other hand Republicans are actually more open minded and will argue points as you point out. You seem to condemn the open expression of opposing views but that is not surprising.

Need a license to hunt and fish and carry a valid photo id. So to democrats voting is somewhere below fishing.

man oh man, they can't get more Un-American or ugly
I guess when they were marching in the streets against the war while Bush was President and while we have boots on ground in a war,just screams, I'm a patriot

 

[rdean]

See what I mean. These right wingnuts either defend their awful record or they say something like "Democrats want a communist country" or some such nonsense.

Remember, when communists take over, they kill the liberals and keep the ignorant. Because the ignorant have proven to be so easy to manipulate.

You're certainly proof of that.

 

[occupied]

Republican patriotism is so conditional that I see it as a sham, you cannot be patriotic hating the government and most of the people who live here. They seem to only be patriotic for an America that never really existed and yet could be again if only the commies would let them rule unquestioned and unopposed for a while.

 

[Stephanie]

poor rdean, if you don't agree with him or call bs on all his made up crap

You get, see see see what I mean them right wingers they they they they

are you desperate for friends or a life

See what I mean. These right wingnuts either defend their awful record or they say something like "Democrats want a communist country" or some such nonsense.

This coming from the side that entertains the idea of using international law and sharia law to interpret US Law. If that is not an F-U to our forefathers, then what is? Not to mention all of the appeasing and apologizing for US greatness by the same side.

The left is patriotic to the transformed, radical change they want for US......which makes any love or loyalty on their part for the US, conditional.

 

[Stephanie]

Rdean is the poster boy for the left/Democrats

hateful, lies about people, a divider certainly not a uniter, and then whines when people don't bow to his every word ....for he know' all about people who are Republicans and he has the inside scoop on the Republican part...y you see he supposedly was one at time so for sure we should JUST believe everything he says about them

but if you don't bow

then he stomp his feet and wails.............because we just laugh our asses off

Again, incorrect.

It's because the "ignorant" (your term, idiot) have guns, and battle-hardened expertise on how to fight the communists.
