Yeah, better than gworld. I feel dumber every time I read something he writes. I used to be somewhat liberal, but after time and time again of reading these threads, I've changed my way of thinking. The main reason is the superb arguments put forth by GTech, and to a lesser degree d16man. Good job, guys. Keep up the good work.
I see that I made you angry when I mentioned you trying so hard to over compensate for the fact that your father is from middle east by waving the flag. This is not an unusual phenomena and you can see it among the black who try to disassociate themselves from other blacks, Jews that try so hard to be against everything Jewish or people from other countries that try to get away from the people with same cultural background. The sad fact is that people like Gtech will tolerate you as long as they have a use for you but in the final analyze, you will be just another Arab. No race, no country, no culture has a monopoly on being good or bad and most people and cultures are a combination of both. Recognize what is good in American culture and what is good in other cultures and try to combine it. You don't need to conform to what you think as flag waving American, in order to be a good American.
lol, that is one of funnier post I have seen in awhile here is some recent news from Iraq http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/world/middle_east/6316057.stm
Not angry in the least. More like satisfied. Satisfied that you have nothing to come back with, nothing to refute my point, nothing but assumptions. I'm not dissociating myself, because I don't see myself as Middle Eastern. My mom's a redneck from North Carolina, I'm from Alabama, I have white skin and white features, and frankly, I don't give a rat's ass about my "heritage". Hell, all my ancestors were slaughtered by the Ottoman Empire in a genocidal frenzy that makes the Holocaust look like Summer Camp. So, unless you have something to refute what I've passed on, save your smug assumptions and off-base analyses... Oh - and brush up on your spelling and grammar. Makes me think all Lefties are functionally retarded.
Yeah, I started shaving, threw the turban in the trash, sent my wife to the mall, bought myself some closed-toe shoes and quit working at the 7-11. Hopefully I'll fit in as a "real" American.
this is my final atempt to teach you something Gtech does this seem familiar http://www.nypost.com/seven/0131200...eace_offensive_opedcolumnists_amir_taheri.htm also read this before you answer back
Why not make it clear you feel it is you could possibly teach me? Do you still believe that elected representatives of our country should go abroad, in the presence of some of our enemies, and trash our country? What was that definition of "patriotism" again? As long as they are bashing America, right?
he would be wrong to bash america you can disagree with him but you have no right to try to qustion nobody's patriotism . i have seen this type of attack in the past few years used to silence the political speech when some people don't agree with it it seems that these day defending the constitution and by extension defending our rights is no longer fashionable and patriotic and i am sure you did not read the nypost article about some of other important things that have happened in switzerland
I have every right to question his patriotism and his lack of patriotism. No one is being silenced. He said what he saidv*because* that is the type of person kerry is. He has bashed America and Soldiers since the 70s and he probably will till the day he dies. I do question his patriotism. He met with enemies during Vietnam to negotiate terms of surrender and to get orders on what he could do for the North Vietnamese to assist them back in the states. And he did so, while an officer of the Navy Reserves. That, my friend, is treason. Now if you want to defend scum like this because you like their message, more power to you, but I'll question his patriotism and the trash the opportunistic scumbag continues to utter *against* our country and our soldiers. Sorry, you won't teach me to be an egg sucking wussy pacifist! I should have known that's what you were after.
“Our country is not the only thing to which we owe our allegiance. It is also owed to justice and to humanity. Patriotism consists not in waving the flag, but in striving that our country shall be righteous as well as strong.†James Bryce Of course I do not expect that you understand the meaning of the above quote since humanity has no meaning for you as a cheer leader for the rapists of teenage girls and murderer of civilians. Can you at least tell us what gives you the right as a former Corporal who has only seen the battle in the field of high school to question a patriotism of a man who has been in a war and even today is serving his country as elected member of senate?
gworld, what a treat! It's always nice to see your cheerful, loving disposition! Do you come forth today, bearing a bad word for terrorists? Probably not, huh?
Seems he had no problem with our Commander-In-Briefs when he was porking a fat intern half his age in the Oval Office. Oh, wait - *that* was different. "Cheerleader" indeed. Face it, gayworld, you're stretching. You've been trounced, and so you keep trying to "emotionalize" something that was never said (or even implied). Save all that drama for your mama.
That would be "...anyone's patriotism", PizzaBoy. That's the most hilarious thing to come out of your keyboard yet. I can "question someone's patriotism" all I want. ARE YOU TRYING TO SILENCE ME???!!! hahahahahaha
You have mixed up the people from middle east and east Indians which means either you lied about your father being from middle east or you haven't seen him and really don't know who your father is. I believe you.
gtech do you realize in 100 years when there is no kerry bush me or you constitution is going to be here. do you understand that constitution is more important than all of this i quoted the Presidential Oaths of Office to point to the importance of the constitution. the only people that can limit the freedom of the speech is supreme court and i don't see them limiting it for the content that we are talking about.
More personal potshots since you have nothing? PizzaBoy, an "idiot" wouldn't have pummelled you with logic for the past 4 pages. Personally, I think you need to complete English 101 before you start name-calling, your grammar is atrocious, son. Where's your fortitude, boys? Maybe the Lefties will come up with a government program to offer assistance to the disabled who like to spew nonsense on the Internet. Algore can be in charge, he invented the damn thing. I DO agree with your last post though - Which is in direct opposition to your earlier (and ridiculous) statement that I can't question someone's patriotism. Figure it out, then thank the "idiot" who pointed it out.
