Of course you know I would just never unleash a vicious attack like mocking a fake-patriot or faux-elitist move like wrapping ones bullshit in either the flag or the cross. Just have to point out that the flag lapel pin, the one Republicans bitched and whined so much about Democrats not wearing, the one Lisa Czeladtko is wearing in the picture chosen by Gag-Zette writer Daniel Chacon when "calling out" Ed over his Free Speech opposing a political candidate. Not that The Gag-zette (Colorado Springs Gazette, "Freedom" Communications") has ever so much as given a mild tsk-tsk'ing to violent attacks on Free Speech in Colorado Springs, usually instigated by City Council or persons very close to them.St Paddies Day 2007 leaps to my mind. Or to Fake Patriotism. You'll notice, if you're observant, that the "flag" in question has 7 stripes and 18 stars. 22217

Real Manly Macho Robust Christian Men
According to the Tennessee Fire-non-Fighter who watched his neighbors' house burn to the ground, with the fire crew standing around to make sure fire didn't spread to their own properties, called his actions "Robust, Masculine Christianity" a new-old method of trying to justify ones evil deeds by re-translating the Bible to edit out any forms of compassion, sharing, care for ones neighbors, family, people they'd never met... So here are a few other things that define Real Manly Macho Robust Christian Men, A Real Manly Macho Robust Christian Man lets his neighbors house burn down. A Real Manly Macho Robust Christian Man cares so much about his Nation that he won't send anything more than a "prayer guide" card to surviving victims of flood, tornado, earthquake, rampaging murderers, outlining how Christ demands that nobody help ones neighbor, and detailing how to Toughen Up and just get over it. Rush Limbaugh, (m)Ann Coulter, etc, did that for everybody from the widows of VietNam Agent Orange victims, 9/11 firemen and anybody from New Orleans who wasn't rich enough to escape the Katrina Flood. A Real Manly Macho Robust Christian Man doesn't care if his children, parents, or even himself contract e-coli or Salmonella from
Tennessee Fire-Non-Fighters and the Bible
The language used by the fire-non-fighter is heavily ingrained indoctrination. There's a movement with some familiar names on the letterheads, spokesfreaks not leaders, Beck, Hannity, O'Reilly, Malkin... people whose ambitions are to create an American Sha'ariah based on their own interpretation of the Word. Or more importantly how the words of the Word get translated into English. They believe that somehow King James was a Liberal. Rather than the really vicious killer he was, and point to speculations on his sexuality, which really doesn't make three quarters of a fat rats ass. The dude was a killer, that trumps any other social or moral consideration you could think of. But the contention is that the Shakespearian English, and they toss in the "Shakespeare was queer, you know" wink wink nudge nudge low-flying canard as evidence, used in the KJV 1611 was "effeminate". Oh, he's a lumberjack, he's okay. (so gay?) And they're actually Re-Writing the Bible to reflect what they think it should be. Nothing new there. Even by their own admission. Many of them cite the "Thou shalt not Kill" commandment, saying that "They" meaning, not the person speaking who is as ignorant of who "They"
Oil Company/TeaBag hypocrisy in Action
Just before ANOTHER Gulf coast oil rig explosion, and following the example of FOX News Demagogue Glenn Beck, the parent corporation of the Oil Rig in question bussed in employees of their company, Just Like Fox Did at Beck's Washing Tundy See lie-fest... to a "grass roots" political rally against making Oil Corporations actually use safety equipment and obey actual laws. It should be noted that this "grassroots" protest was coordinated by Fox News and their related Corporate Whores, to be an adjunct of Beck's Canned Nurnberg Rally. And in Typical Fox/Beck/TeaBag Hypocrite Fashion the ONLY industry and the ONLY people they give a Rat's Ass about are their Corporate Sponsors. The rest of the people in the region, whose livelihoods were devastated, and the people of the whole WORLD who are going to have to face the consequences of their Corporate Stupidity for decades, perhaps centuries, to come, well, we can all go fish. Oil Company Profits are supreme, Fox says so and we Peasants had better get used to it. The Story: 19712
The Love it or Leave it crap again.
America has freedom still, or what little is left, because of the actions of Dissidents, not Conformists. The Army didn't give us these freedoms, save by surrendering their claims to any authority to do otherwise. Most certainly the wars in which the Army is engaged today, and has been steadily engaged in since the "cessation of hostilities" in 1945, have all been wars of Imperialism, to stamp out freedom wherever it rears its head. Nothing more or less than being Thug Enforcers for the Corporate Owners of the American Empire. You can't handle Freedom of Speech, YOU can get the hell out. There's plenty of Banana Republics in the world being propped up for the profit of their American Masters, by American Military presence. A long list from Abu Dabi to Zanzibar and all points in between. Your corporate masters have bankrupted America on their way to Global Dominance. That's not in any way related to freedom and you should stop lying about it. Your Army is currently trying to lynch Spec. Bradley Manning for doing something you've never considered doing, too frightened I suppose. He MANNED THE HELL UP and told the truth and brought forth Proof to back it up. And neither
Mornin’ Joe gives left-handed endorsement of anti-hate speech
Sort of. Scarborough ended up his comments on the Right Wing Lunatic Fringe and their Retarded "Ground Zero Mosque" anti-freedom anti-Muslim Racist Rants. But at the end, he says, "that's what freedom is about, not just people you like, but PEOPLE you hate as well". Meaning, he's not hating on Islam. He's HATING Muslim PEOPLE. AMERICAN Muslim people. Still comes up as an Anti-American Puke. TeaBags, Minutemen, other Nazi and KKK hate groups, YOU DO NOT HAVE ANY RIGHT, PRIVILEGE, AUTHORITY OR POWER TO DECIDE WHO IS OR IS NOT AN AMERICAN And you never WILL have such rights or privileges. What will you do about it, have Sarah Palin come burn a cross on my lawn?
The Bellamy Salute, One Nation under Canada
A year or so later, under pressure from people who were disturbed that the same salute was used by German kids saying a similar oath to THEIR (idolatrous) flag (graven image made from cloth) did the protocol for saying the Pledge (which is NOT mandated in the Constitution, in any Federal Law or UCMJ military regulation, by the way) was modified to use three OTHER Roman salutes, the one you use in court to swear to tell the truth, the whole truth and nothing but the truth, and which Military personnel and other Government officials use to swear the oaths of their respective offices, with the right arm extended to the side and bent up at the elbow with right hand extended toward heaven. (NOT a Christian or any form of Judaic tradition!), the right hand placed above the right eye in what soldiers recognize as the method with which they salute their officers, or salute the flag as it passes or is raised or lowered on the flagpole, and the Right Hand being placed over the heart. 18802
Store-bought patriotism and the futility of trying to shame the shameless
If you want the image in full-size, it's more than 1400x800. See, I'm not a flag-waver. I DO however know at least Some of the flag code. One is that you're only supposed to display a flag in an environment consistent with the design. That does NOT include displaying a cloth flag from a Motorized Vehicle. 18704
Checkup- get one now, or get one later
The theme of a commercial sponsored by Aventis Pharmaceuticals and played today on Fox between football games. Big Pharma and Fox, the ones who are trying To Make It God-Damned Impossible for uninsured people to be able to Get A Checkup Or Any Other Form Of Health Care. A Scene: Lady in doctors' office being questioned about a heart issue.. B Scene: Coroner examining body and saying "Cause of death Myocardial Infarction" (A type of heart attack) into his recording device. 11960
