OT: Obama is dumber than a box of rocks

[urbanrealtor]

[quote=Casca]Perhaps I misjudged your motives when I responded previously. However, whenever someone blithers about “this awful war” or some such, the nitwit alarm goes off.

It’s like this Toots, patriotism is a love of country like the love you have for your family. Some people pay the price for your freedom, a rather small minority these days. They know what patriotism is because they live it everyday. McCain knows. Obama is a free rider, like almost every democrat or liberal you’ll ever meet. If you’d like to become a patriot, start by educating yourself on the history of how this nation was created. It wasn’t to help the deprived. In closing, I’ll leave you with this. Liberals are communists without the guns.[/quote]

I am a liberal. I am not a communist. I am not a communist with or without a gun. I have no interest in a command economy or single party politics or politburo. I have worked in law enforcement and I was born (literally) on an army base on the border with communist eastern europe. I am a free rider in that I have never worked in the military myself.
Is it your assertion that all non-military (or non-combatants for that matter) are free riders?
Would it be your assertion that a draft would be better than having the existing minority fight the existing war?
Also, would it be your assertion that people who do not support the actions of the government are dumb (I think the term you used was “nitwit”)?
Or is it just that war that is the litmus test for un-patriots?
By that logic would the Russians who dodged the draft to avoid being killed by the mujahideen in Afghanistan be un-patriots?
Also, were the continental colonials in the 1770’s not deprived of something that spurred them towards war? I seem to recall something about taxation without representation. Perhaps I misread.

How do you have any idea whether someone loves their country?

Considering that a majority of Americans are not in support of the war, does that mean you don’t care for them?
If so, and if you find your countrymen (as defined by citizenship) so loathesome then why do you love your country?

I get the feeling some people view their “country” as an extension of their ego similar to the way ghetto thugs see their pit bulls. Country is a mechanism for global class warfare as much as anything. I don’t find a lot to love in that.

urbanrealtor: Which Army base? My first command was an armored cavalry platoon (11th ACR) up in the Fulda Gap area. Germany was sooooo fun when the Russkies were there: I loved being overflown by jets with little red stars on the wings.

gandalf: Check your PM.

It was the hospital between Nuernberg and Furth.

I don’t know if the army spells it nuremburg or if they have an American version of Furth and I do not recall the name of the base itself. I do recall it had a very distinctive German imperial eagle at the front gate (it had a wall) that our army had tried to make look more like an American eagle (by painting it). I was kind of horrific.

But Germany and Bavaria in particular I remember being quite beautiful (especially the altshtatt).
