Found this post, The Conservative Argument for everything: "You're unpatriotic!", via Google Feeds. It was so absurd, I just had to respond at length.
t’s unpatriotic to love someone no matter what.
Which is why the democrats gave us Don't Ask/Don't Tell, the Defense of Marriage Act, the Texas Anti-Sodomy law etc? How about the fact that Barack Hussein Snobama, Edwards, Clinton, Clinton, Kerry, Gore, etc. etc. etc. all oppose gay marriage?
BTW, I've been out for 13 years now. Still haven't received my membership card or package. What does P.R.I.D.E. stand for?
Funny, isn't it, how bombing Iraq and killing people was a good idea when a democrat was getting a hummer under his desk in the oval orifice?
Funny, isn't it, how it was a good idea to save millions of Iraqi lives while a democrat was in office.
Funny, isn't it, how Iraq was "all about the oil" when we still get the majority of our supply from Canada, Mexico and Venezuela? We still, at best, get 4% of our oil from Iraq. Nevermind that. That get's in the way of liberal lying points.
Funny, isn't it, how your sweet lord BJ had a "great economy" DESPITE record taxes and the second highest corporate tax rate in the world all due to a giant tech bubble. But he made it even greater by gutting the military to the point they couldn't afford bullets, let alone the protective armor most soldiers DON'T WANT or the "up-armored" HumVees most soldiers DON'T WANT. Not to mention the capability to swipe numbers from Socialist Stupidity to invent a PROPOSED budget surplus over 10 years. Nevermind that Congress NEVER works on 10 year plans. Nevermind that unemployment has been lower under Bush than Clinton or the fact that revenues into the treasury, after the dreaded "tax cuts for the rich", are higher than they were in the 90s. No, we gotta put those thousands of low-income families right back on the tax roles and call it "soaking the rich" (which means anybody with any income).
CO2 is going to bake us alive, say the scientists.
Say the scientists who, mostly, don't have any experience or education as far as the climate goes. But hey, they're scientists after all. Nevermind that the more you look into Global Warmism, the more absurd it looks. Nevermind the scientists who disagree with Global Warmism. Nevermind the fact that those scientists who agree with Global Warmism refuse to prove it or debate it. They claim "the debate is over" to excuse themselves from actually having to back up their claims. Nevermind the fact that the only answers to Global Warmism is loading the U.S. with more and more taxes, more and more erosion of freedom, poisonous mercury filled lightbulbs and converting needed food into fuel which causes more pollution than carbon based fules. Nevermind the warnings every ten years that we only have ten years left to exist.
If one pays enough attention, one realizes that there's good money in Global Warmism. Most of the commercials I saw during Earth Month required spending money to participate. There's many scientists who signed on to Global Warmism because that's where the money is these days.
Oust Bush administration, say Democrats.
You'd think that if any of them truly believed this or had an actual leg to stand on, they would have done so by now.
Reduce, Reuse, Recycle, says the environmentalist
I've not seen where anybody has said this is a bad idea. At the same time, I haven't seen a whole lot of evidence that it "saves the world" as much as we're supposed to believe. And yes, I do have those cloth bags from Publix, Wal-Mart and Home Depot. I use them everytime I remember to pick them up.
As far as health care reform, Republicans have tried putting it forward. The problem is that the liberals want nothing more than free healthcare that would cripple the profession and destroy any incentives to become a healthcare professional. What's more, Socialist healthcare has been a proven failure where ever it's tried. That's why so many flock here or countrys without it to get treated.
My mom used to work for a Lipidologist in the Houston Medical Center. A lot of his patients were from other countries, most with Socialist healthcare, who came to Houston just to see the doctor. If Socialist healthcare was such a great idea, there wouldn't be a healthcare tourism industry which books travel for you to other countries so you can actually be seen by a doctor.
I worked in 911 & private EMS in Houston for almost 10 years and I NEVER saw a single patient denied healthcare. I'm also aware that there is more than a plethora of assistance out there, and plenty of redundant assistance soaking up more and more money. There's also plenty of people on assistance who don't need it. Worked for a doctor once. He was a retired thoracic surgeon under Dr. DeBakey. Lot of his patients on Medicare driving better vehicles than the doctor did. Sorta blew a hole in the "rich doctor" stereotype.
I don't have a child, but if I did, I would much rather they be treated here in the U.S. (still the best healthcare in the world) than anywhere else and that includes Canada and the U.K.
As for the polar bear, they're not endangered or threatened. Their populations have been increasing over the last several years. But the left still put a higher priority on them and not 10,000 auto workers instead. Can't think of anyone who has said it was unpatriotic.
As far as marijuana, I've seen many conservatives plug for the legalisation of it. Pick up a copy of National Review and you'll find at least one, probably two ads supporting it. What's more, I've known many liberals who oppose it. Can't think of anyone on the left or right who ever said it was unpatriotic.
As far as "removing cells from our bodies" you'll remember that Bush has done more for stem cell research than any previous president. The thing is that folks generally support adult stem cell and placenta stem cell research because it has PROVEN to be effective. Meanwhile, embryonic stem cell research currently shows NO promise. Why should we throw money at something that currently shows no promise? What's more, what about all the PRIVATE funding out there? If it's worth spitting on, there's lots of money to be had.
As far as the mother who's lost sons in Iraq, there are plenty out there who have lost their children over there and support finishing the job. Should we ignore them because they haven't been "Dowdified"? The left used to swear that the "majority of the people" wanted us out of Iraq and that Bush was ignoring the "will of the people". Last I heard, only 14% supported leaving immediately. As of April, last I checked, only 38% of Iraqis wanted us out now. How do you reconcile that?
As far as "listnening to Jesus", couldn't help but notice your intolerant anti-Christian smear. I doubt, however, that you would apply the same to Muslims who listen to Mohammed in the name of "political correctness" and "tolerance".
Long story short, I don't know that your "unpatriotic" arguement fits any of these issues. I've not heard it applied. If you can provide examples which back up your claim, I'd be interested in reading it. As it is, as far as I can tell, your entire post is absurd and based on suppostion.
I wasn't going to respond, but I did. Then I wasn't going to spend much time on it, but I got on a roll. Oh well.
