Hosing Faux Patriots
(Click title above.)
I don’t care whether you are red, pink, brown, yellow, black, green, male, female, cyborg, or some combination thereof. What I care about are the freedom and dignity of each to make their own “fashion statements” within a system of civilization that is relatively stable, sustainable, and surpassable.
Such a civilization is possible in some nations and cultures, such as in Western Civilization. During this time of upheaval and intolerance of individual freedom and dignity in much of the world, now is not a good time for free nations to be letting down their guards, with respect to borders, global co-dependency, or independent access to energy sources.
For the past 30 years, American politicians and legislators (aided and abetted by mainstream journalists conditioned to "think" with their cosmopolitan feelings) have been AWOL about defending American borders and fuel independence. Yet, they get all indignant lest anyone dare to question their patriotism.
Well, I dare! I dare to say that those we have entrusted with power to lead and educate us have behaved stupidly, incompetently, selfishly, short-sightedly, and unpatriotically! How any so-called leader or politician or journalist, whether Republican Snot or Democrat Marxist Double-Talker, could defend our policies with respect to borders and energy and then dare anyone to question their patriotism is the height of un-patriotism!
These people need to be washed out of office with fire hoses! As for "journalists" trained to report most of their thinking in terms of their feelings: we must stop buying their crap! Ridicule them, or at least turn them off! We must be proactive about getting factual information. Find and access objective sources. Be suspicious of blogswarmers. Withhold judgment until the facts are in. Then, if the facts warrant, lay on the wood!

Quote snippits from http://blogs.usatoday.com/oped/2008/06/im-for-mccain-b.html :
An outdoorsman from Arizona, McCain has long stood apart from his party in his defense of conservation measures, while Obama, from Southside Chicago, discovered environmentalism only when a national campaign made it convenient to be green.
What else do I want in the next administration? A foreign policy that recognizes we really do have mortal enemies who must be resisted. A domestic policy that doesn't kneel to extremists on either end of the political spectrum. The reduction of pork-barrel spending, government waste and the deficit. And the recognition that capitalism is by far the best system — but that capitalism needs adult supervision.
From http://www.newsmax.com/kessler/new_york_times_safety/2008/06/26/107659.html :
“When it helps The New York Times get a story, names are withheld. When it helps our national security, they are not. And when the next attack comes — as it surely will — The New York Times will be the first to blame President Bush.”

From http://www.nytimes.com/2008/06/27/opinion/27aamodt.html?th&emc=th :
Consumers of news, for their part, are prone to selectively accept and remember statements that reinforce beliefs they already hold. In a replication of the study of students’ impressions of evidence about the death penalty, researchers found that even when subjects were given a specific instruction to be objective, they were still inclined to reject evidence that disagreed with their beliefs.
....
In 1919, Justice Oliver Wendell Holmes of the Supreme Court wrote that “the best test of truth is the power of the thought to get itself accepted in the competition of the market.” Holmes erroneously assumed that ideas are more likely to spread if they are honest. Our brains do not naturally obey this admirable dictum, but by better understanding the mechanisms of memory perhaps we can move closer to Holmes’s ideal.

“Central to both radical Islam and the radical left is an inclination to overthrow the existing order, so as to create a paradise on earth. This end ultimately justifies any means, and any alliance, that leads there. American leftists may find the bigotry and intolerance of Islamic radicals repugnant, but their desire to rid the world of U.S. “imperialism” and capitalism overrides this revulsion and beckons them to forge their alliance. As Osama bin Laden himself declared in a fatwa which he issued in March 2003: “The interests of Muslims and the interests of the socialists coincide in the war against the crusaders.””
