Will Republicans Opt for More Hate vs. Hope Tonight?

What is it with these people?  Are they all idiots?  Does every Jack and Jill in the Hall at the RNC actually think that there is room in these United States — that there is any consideration in the idea that is ‘America’ — for some of us not to be patriot-worthy — because we disagree with them?

I’m speaking of the “Country First” signs being waved around in the martial mob that is the conclave in Minneapolis-St. Paul. 

The implied message behind the mob is that if you aren’t there waving the sign with them – or just cheering at home — you don’t put your country first.

Well, this proud Navy veteran who was for the Iraq war before we legalized torture and found out the neocons cooked the intelligence books would just as soon piss in the Republican Party’s general direction (and all over one of those stupid fucking signs) than listen to one more straw-man building, country-dividing, fundie pandering line of BS from this convention.

I feel better now.

    2. No you are the idiot. The message is intended to bring America together. It is aimed at middle America. It is not aimed at party unity as we all saw last week. It is a message about placing the country before partisan politics.

    3. Hate? Totally incorrect - and no diss meant (thank you very much for putting your life on hold and serving something larger than self) yet for a Navy Veteran - that rant seems kinda inappropriate, weak, boring and incredibly thin skinned.

    4. The fact that you’re even criticizing those signs means you are clueless about why they exist.

    Typcial Demockacrat/liberal/leftist remark, though.

    And “idiots”?

    Keep calling what you fear names like that. It only shows the rest of us what a great failure that community organizer Barack Obama, or whatever his real name might be, has been at being — what was it? — the “great unifier”?

    He’s the perfect leader for the DLLs such as you.

    And “hate”? That’s the only filter through which, apparently, the DLLs can hear, see or feel anything.

    How miserable that must be.

    5. I’m sorry I didn’t hear anything you said because I was too busy screaming… USA! USA! USA!

    6. note: in case I wasn’t clear, my screaming was aimed at the comments- not the post.

    7. Sorry to put this here, but I’m new to this site. Maybe someone (site admin? Pelikan?) can tell me (a) how to contact with a question and (b) how to do a search. Thanks.

    8. I love how anyone who disagrees with Republicans is putting partisan politics ahead of the country (or unamerican, or whatever).

Tell me what you're thinking...
