I have been critical of Bush not during 9/11 and not during Afghanishtan, then I was proud of him. But Iraq is wrong and unlimited Federal spending and enlarging the government is wrong, that is not the Republican party I first joined. But because of my view and others like me, we get a lot of response to question with if you don't like it then GET OUT. Or being called Unpatrotic. Not true.
This country was founded by revolutionist against unlawful taxation. Their were people who during that time did not want to rock the book, called these revolutionist unpatriotic to their King and country as well. People who support Bush blindly are the exact same people as those who would have supported Britain at that time. They are loyalist and support authorty which is sad because this is a land of freedom and oportunity. So here is the question, who is the true patriot, those who take ridicule but VOICE our opinions or those who would support a President who has divided his country?

I am supporting Bush and I am NOT doing it blindly. You don't know that any of Bush's supporters are blind. Quite the contrary.

I agree that he isn't my choice. Too far right. Taking the executive branch where it does not belong. Perhaps it will have the positive side effect of having the supremes put some limits on the executive.
Bush thinks he is correct. Kerry thinks he is correct. Billary thinks she is correct. The extremist supporters of each will call those of the other(s) unpatriotic, terrorists, etc. It is all a bunch of wind. (Though it can be quite entertaining winding people up.)
I, for one, am tired of the extremes, the Robertsons and the Deans; the extreme positions they take and the extremism they promote in their supporters. CT is a great example of this.
So who are the real traitors? I haven't seen any lately. Just a lot of wind.

The time period "actual" skill that in simple terms the land of foundation has actual validity. those who to migrate have certain rationalization for doing so. maximum human beings choose a more beneficial valuable existence, others search for safe practices. even as they arrive in yet another land, they have countless ranges of incorporation; to develop into assimilated by using the interior of sight custom, good or not so good, or to preserve their own custom for as many generations as conceivable. Language is the cultural automobile of assimilation. once immigrants initiate to talk English, a gradual conversion occurs to the middle. It develop into more beneficial accessible to ignore their own ideas and too busy to maintain the values of the "actual" u . s .. Democracy is a device of decision; if a citizen desires to strengthen the embarrassing habit of his u . s ., he ought to hit upon how you may vote for the human beings who will have the capacity to regulate the way guidelines are made or a minimum of which guidelines sneak by using the gadget.

A patriot is someone who supports their country, and in our case the constitution upon which it is founded. Patriotism is first and foremost defending the country and the constitution, not the individual.
If you support a leader, you may be a patriot if you support that person for valid reasons, and if the person themselves is a patriot. Just as it is patriotism to oppose someone for valid reasons, even if that person is an elected official.
But it's not patriotism to support someone blindly, especially an elected official who has betrayed their oath of office and violated the constitution.

The answer is within your own question. The Republicans who say to you...if you don't like it, get out, are the real traitors.

I agree with that - and I feel like we see the same kind of pressure and nonsense being put on Republican leaders who are expressing similar concerns. I think it is a power play by a very vocal minority - and if we are not careful they will do some real damage.
Peace!
