lol! if you mean qbone, i think he has some good points but he's acting as if american's don't wrestle with these issues ourselves.

the reality is, there are people arguing for the same things that q suggested and they are patriots.

you have people like pat buchanan who think our allegiance to israel is flawed. ron paul who argues against the federal reserve. both believe that we need to bring all troops, worldwide, home. and there are those who argue against teachers unions to allow principles to fire educators who aren't performing. if teaching were treated like a business, then children in poverty stricken areas would be getting better educations and with that, comes upward economic mobility. the lesson from katrina therefore isn't that people in america shouldn't be poor. you can't have a wealthy class without its opposite.

so the lesson of katrina shouldn't simply be that our government is corrupt and doesn't care about poor people or minorities. it's that people shouldn't be poorly educated. with education comes opportunity and with opportunity comes economic advancement. that and the money allocated for public projects needs to go to the actual projects (levees).

qbone apparently thinks patriotic americans are people sitting around in plush homes, with massive suv's, 2.3 kids, smoking cigars, bbq'ing while saluting the flag, duck hunting and throwing around racial slurs.

now that may be some people's last saturday but for the most part, those of us who love our country, love it in spite of its faults. we love it because we have an inherent belief that injustices will be corrected some day. how/why/when, who knows but americans are perpetual optimists. and that's why qbone hates us. he wants us to be miserable...like he is.

QBone wishes that we lived in a fascist country run by the Liberals and the Environmentalist Wackos (Green Police) where we're told what we can and can't do and no longer have freedom.

And so help me god, if QBone lived here in America, i'd track the guy down and put a hammer to his fucking head. I'm not going to tolerate assholes like him trying to take away my freedom.



dude, you sound just as foolish and ignorant as Q. i can not stand people on the left or right ranting and raving about retractions of freedom. WE ARE A SOCIETY OF LAWS! what is a law but a revocation of a personal freedom? you're bound by our laws every single waking moment of your life. to say that the dems/reps are trying to rob you of some imaginary man-in-wild freedom just shows how utterly ridiculous you are.

in civilized socities we are bound by a social contract. by living in the US you have by default given up personal freedoms in order to maintain peace, order and protect the rights of the whole.

the issue can't be taking away your freedom. you're not free. you never were! where'd you get the notion that you could do whatever you want? are you delusional?

the issue is therefore is taht you're a self-absorbed, paranoid, ill-informed citizen who feels threatened when you're out of power. out of power = out of control.

you don't want an end to democrat rule. you want a dictatorship where you define what laws, taxes, morals...americans should be governed by. and if you can't have that, you want to get rid of the bums right? in short, Q may be a fascist but you're an anarchist.

you're 23. why the hell are you so angry? go play your x-box and stop spouting ignorance and hate.

and OMG! a 23 year old talking about cap and trade? dude, you need to spend less time listening to right ring radio and pick up a book!

the economy is in the tank, people are losing their homes, parents can't afford to send their kids to college, millions of americans are in the process of foreclosure and bankruptcy due to ridiculously high medical bills or because they can't afford the 29% interest rate that their credit card company decided to charge, and you scorpiotiger...you want to argue against cap and trade.

dude, give me a flippin break! you don't care about america or its future. you're a scared little boy who needs something to identify with and some idea to cling to and because you happen to be white and like guns and huntin, you think you're a real american.

you love your country so much? if you're not enlisted, when are you signing up? let me know when you get deployed. pm me your po box. i will send you care packages. until then, you're full of it! there's nothing patriotic about people who get their information from radio waves and the boob tube.

WHOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO talk about left and right this could get interesting. On the left tubby on the right scarp. Let the show start. My friend in the colony ( I have not let go of the territory as yet I think you owe about 10 Billion in Tea tax) any way he says your government has beat the crap out of your constitution such as taking property with out just cause. and about 10 other things. so start the war.

interesting. hmm, given the power of the east india company wouldn't that mean that much of the world was a colony? and what about modern-day romans and greeks? shouldn't they be able to proclaim the rest of the world as rogue city-states? would that not include england? i say you guys give them their land back 😛

also, i'm not on the left. i have my own views of topics. some of which are more right than those on the right. like i think military service should be mandatory...like germany. not for nuclear arms...you can't hug with nuclear arms (family guys). your military "specialty" could be along the lines of the peace corps or public works....building bridges and what not.

besides, wouldn't be a fair/fun fight. based on scorp's bit of rhetoric, it sounds like his version of "middle" is moving to the right...even if you're already dead center 😛

your a brit right? your military service doesn't count. any military where shorts are permissible is simply playing an elaborate version of sink my battleship...HA!

But seriously, I think it's honorable that you served your country.

on a side note, "we painted ourselves blue?" well, if you're going to distance yourself from the romans then technically, great britain would more likely belong to "central europe." the celts got to that island somehow. so go ahead and give the germans property rights as they're carrying the EU anyway 😉

scorpiokitty, you're such a silly, fiesty young thing. defend q-bone? why on earth would i do that? both of you need psychiatric evaluation and i wonder if private citizens can make suggestions for the terrorist watch list?

do you eve nknow what communism is? who is he father of communist theory? socialism? who created capitalist theory? is america a capitalist society?

i doubt if you know and those topics won't be covered on glenn beck as he can't spell half those terms.

and for those that didn't gather, i was being sarcastic in the last post. i mean, some of my best boyfriends have been white

at the end of the day, those of you who so harshly and negatively judged something that you didn't take the time to watch, it's like giving a book review after reading the back cover...if that.
