A survey showed that conservatives are twice as likely as liberals to be strongly patriotic, which is kinda duh. To illustrate, look at what was a recommend diary on the Daily Kos on Independence Day. It’s best summarized as “Stupid wingnuts think America is so great, and here is why they’re wrong!” And remember the whole flag pin thing and Obama? He made a big show of not wearing a flag pin during the primary because being anti-patriotic is actually a plus to the far left. But in the general election, suddenly Obama had a flag pin as most Americans prefer to elect people who actually kinda like this country.
So what is a patriotic liberal? One who cuts himself?
Patriotic liberal? That’s like “reality show.” Two words that don’t go together.
I’m kidding, of course. We know liberals loved their country, the Soviet Union.
Put some NSFWs around links like that. I just got caught looking at Kos. That’s sickeningly embarrassing.
How can liberals be patriotic, when they oppose everything that the founding fathers wrote?
As if it were at all hard to decipher the thrust of the diary, it’s quite telling that the second comment in the thread gives a thanks to the writer followed by, “But I still love my America. Happy 4th!”
I know a guy over in Raystown who is a patriotic liberal.
What is a patriotic liberal? It depends on what day of the week it is. Oh, wait….is it whose party controls the country maybe? I can’t remember if dissent is patriotic right now? I’ll have to ask Hillary Clinton. Anyways, I KNOW that blaming Bush is patriotic for liberals. Oh, and screeching and throwing feces.
Patriotic liberal is an oxymoron.
So why don’t the left that hate this country so much be patriotic and whack themselves? Saves us the trouble and we get a better parking space. How much more patriotic could they be?
ZZYZX: Touche.
I just ate lunch. Reading just part of that Kos bit literally turned my stomach.
Let’s just remember the commonly cited axiom: “Whoever smelt it dealt it.”
To it, I add Burmashave’s corollary: “There’s them who do and them who talk, and never shall the twain meet.”
That is to say, whoizzut who is always bleating (leaving demonic sheep aside just for the moment) about being patriotic? Hint: it isn’t the folks who are actually being patriotic.
A patriotic liberal is like the number zero. It stands for nothing, just a symbol created by mathematicians to represent the absence of anything.
I believe Obama doesn’t like to wear a flag pin because (currently) the flag of the United States does not have a hammer and sickle anywhere on it.
I don’t get it, those people can give you a 10 page list of all the places “better than America” and yet they continue living here. Could it be that one of the things that makes all those places sooo much better is they don’t allow just anyone to live there?
“People in Sweden, Belgium, Canada, Australia, New Zealand, Switzerland and Norway are all reported to be much happier than Americans….”
Hmmmm how ironic…a liberal puke pointing out that the countries that are 98% white are far better places to live but YOU are a racist.
What a cess pool. I don’t know who the one guy was that was taking the other commentors to task, but God bless him.
USA’s aid, in terms of percentage of their GNP has almost always been lower than any other industrialized nation in the world
She (reference to “my husband” still means one is female…..right?) conveniently skips over the bleeping graph that shows we give OVER TWICE AS MUCH in actual $$$$$ than any other country!!!!
Just in case there’s any doubt this d’bag has NO idea what she’s talking about:
“The largest budget expenditure in the US is on the military. ”
$944 billion – Social Security
$515.4 billion – United States Department of Defense
that took me all of 3 seconds to figure out.
On spending we should bag all social spending together, like they do the military. Ntd food stamps, section 8 housing, free condoms, free art, but the whole thing. Like comparing individually thr Army, air force, Navy, Marines, south Alabama sheriffs……..
Liberals are very patrioitc. It it juts to which country their loyaltys lie..
juts-just…not a gud tipinn…teeping…typing day. Fingers are crossed.
If we changed all the starts to red stars that would help them feel at home.
You can always spot a patriotic liberal. They ride gryphons. Okay, some ride unicorns.
I like Frank’s idea best, but I don’t think it goes far enough. A real patriotic liberal would dig their own grave and then shoot themselves in the head so they just fall in. Saves the rest of us so much time and effort on the burial work.
Never, never, never, send me to that place again! Now I need a shower.

As far as giving goes, consider reading Who Really Cares by Arthur Brooks. It’s very well researched but a very quick read.
Europeans rank ahead in charity only when private charity is — as it is normally — excluded. “Excluding government aid, Americans give, per capita, three and half times more than the French, seven times more than Germans, and 14 times more than the Italians.” And oh by the way, who is it that gives the most per capita in the US? That would be conservative Christians, even when church giving is factored out.
A gem: “In 1995, Tanzanians gave a larger portion of their incomes than the Norwegians….Kenyans gave more than Austrians or Germans.”
Also, volunteering is directly correlated to giving.

Nimrods who spend their time at the Kos are not likely to give much, and the best way for them to compensate is to demand the government give more. Also, Biden is not alone; the very wealthy give less on a percentage basis than the lower and middle classes.
Full disclosure: the author started his study expecting the opposite of what he found.
–Sorry, but I couldn’t get through the whole list. I am taking medication for my high blood pressure and have been maintaining it very well for three years. I could feel my face turning red and my heart pounding, I feared if I finished that list I would have probably blown a gasket. Normally I can tolerate stupid libs, but those are the talking points of the Three Horsemen of the Apocolypse (Obama, Pelosi, Reid). You can’t get much worse than that unless you watch MSNBC all day long.
ALL HAIL “THE ONE”
And yet, they won’t go live in one of the countries in which they claim they’d be happy…which means they’re either liars or cowards…or both.
So what is a patriotic liberal?
Patriotism to a Liberal is the “right” to do anything, no matter how disgusting, immoral, filthy or indecent it is. A patriotic liberal sees nothing wrong with discussing abnormal adult sexual issues with little children. He, she, or it will often explain (to the 6 year old) that they can be a Homosexual too even though the 6 yr old doesn’t understand what a Homosexual is. THAT is the ultimate Patriotic Liberal Act. To CREATE a little baby liberal.
Patriotism for the Left is also the “right” to murder the unborn, and by doing so, to become like GODS! On one hand they propagandize little Liberals into existence and then on the other hand they murder babies. THEY ARE GODS!! They have the power over life and death.
Patriotic Liberalism gives the Leftist a stage on which to re-play the very first act of patriotic liberalism again and again! Except this time the apple is given to a little child not to Eve. And the snake is…. well you ge the idea!
The question should not be what, but WHO was
the first Patriotic Liberal, and what Garden did
he once reside in?
Liberals are only generous with other people’s money, and only patriotic with other people’s lives.
What do you call a Patriotic Liberal?
A. Comrade
B. Camarada
C. 同志
D. Any of the above
