>> Wrapping yourself in the flag, hiding behind a cross << i'm not religious, although i have nothing against religion. >> babbling about how great nations are founded on protectionism << so i guess people like george washington, alexander hamilton, and abraham lincoln were just babblers when they extolled the virtues of protectionism. >> calling people traitors if they view the United States as a member of the world community << how is that any different from the names hurled at me and mr buchanan for espousing a patriotic agenda? >> implying that you are an heir to the great legacy of Abe Lincoln << i simply pointed out one time that he was a relative of mine. you and mr buschman are the ones that translated a simple mentioning of my relation into something more--such as implying that i thought that made me more special or my words more relevant, or made me some sort of heir to his legacy. you and him are good at twisting something small into something much more. >> all manner of hatred and intolerance does not make you patriotic << it's such a shame that putting your country first above all else equates to "hatred and intolerance" in your mind. if believing that the interests of americans take precedence over others makes me intolerant or hateful then so be it. i make no apologies for putting america's interests above all else. we wouldn't even have a united states with your attitude. after all, breaking away from the british empire is the exact opposite of the idea of a "world community" utopia which you espouse. and of course in order to establish our nation we had to be "intolerant" of indians. one of the problems with the culture in this country is people are afraid to stand up for what is right and wrong. after all, we can't be "intolerant" to other people's opinions, that might offend them or hurt their feelings! well i don't have a problem standing up and declaring what's right for america and what is wrong. and with all due respect, your agenda for america is wrong. i will not apologize for my beliefs. if you don't like it, put me on ignore. that goes for everyone on this thread.
