The Myth of Conservative Patriotism

Excellent opinion piece

While I agree with much of the sentiment in the article I don't care for opinions in absolutes when it comes to politics.  I honestly think that article is referencing a very small group of people.

I hope so

"Nevertheless! Any good American supports the noble colonies (correction: allies) around the globe."

That's a great line. 

[Vegas Halo Fan]

Seems pretty much dead on to me. Far too many people confuse blind nationalism for patriotism, and they aren't the same thing.

She was the heat

Thanks to this I learned that Rebecca De Mornay is Wally George's daughter. Effin' A, Cotton.

She didn't even go to her pops funeral from what I remember.

If this wasn't a normal human trait would this website even exist?

A large number of people who vote straight republican have simply bought into the marketing; Patriotic, Godly, Fiscal responsibility, etc. Think about it, if you don't vote republican you're a Jesus hating muslim who hearts welfare, hates america, and supports a genocide on the unborn.

Anyone who pays attention knows that is all bullshit. Insecure pussies who get their values from their peers do not.

 

You have an issue with grouping.  For instance, I am evangelical and I have not voted republican (or democrat) for the last 4 presidential elections.  None of my evangelical friends think I am a Jesus hating Muslim, nor do they think I heart welfare, or hate America and they certainly know I do not support the genocide of the unborn.

Colt has unresolved issues with his pastor passing the collection plate along to the strrippers and getting all of the attention.

Well considering that they were at St. Luke's school for wayward young boys at the time...

Wow you guys are dipshits. The words evangelical, white, or christian did not appear in my post. Believe it or not this problem of the puffed up chest conservative goes beyond religion. It's about being tough, self sufficient, and yes righteous, but that applies differently for different people.

I read 21 out of 21 white NFL players voted for trump. Thats just the culture/mentality. Democrats have been demonized that badly, so badly that Ted Cruz can be seen as good. Trump can be elected president. 

 

 

 

   

There are way more than 21 white NFL players.

Joking about child molestation. Classy.

Yep. I am the first to mock the Catholic administration for their treatment of those criminals in their employ. You got me.

yeah...two punters and kickers per team...32 teams...

[Adam]

And not to mention the back-up QBs. Maybe he meant NBA. 21 still sounds light there.

ahhh...

I think most people look way too much into this shit. Most people are 1 issue voters. Abortion. Taxes. Tolerance. 

 

[Adam]

I bet less than 1/3 of NFL players voted

[Blarg]

Kaepernick took a knee.

This thread got me thinking. In the unlikely event of my untimely death, after a mourning period of 24 hours I give everyone permission to make fucked-up jokes about me or the situation. It's what I'd want.
