Democracy Taylored to his needs. If you don't agree with me you die. You are allowed to use your freedom of press, speech and congregation whenever you want as long as you agree with me or die.

Why is it that the conservative definition of patriotism is synonymous with blindly following the national leadership?

Ok, you know that rather incredibly fucking cold hard rage post that I posted a few hours ago? Now that I think about it, that applies to those who wish to undermine, damage, ignore, repeal, or just plain trample over our rights. Not only our Constitutional rights, our rights as American citizens, but the basic rights that go to any human being, until they prove unworthy of those rights.

\"Why is it that the conservative definition of patriotism is synonymous with blindly following the national leadership?\"
Because when you go deep enough into any political ideology it always ends up in facism and tyrrany. And the Free Conservatives folks are so deep into conservative ideology that they it's hard to believe they don't have to live in pressurized vehicles to survive.

Ok, so let me get this straight - there were some people protesting against the fact that the US decided to remove Saddam from power - the latest excuse for this being he was an evil scumbucket who purportedly did terrible things to some people he didn't like.
You think that this is punishable by death and your Government should be allowed to kill any citizens that disagree with its point of view?
Please explain why that's not OK on the other side of the world, but is fine here?

When the first bullet is fired on a protester, the last of a free democracy is killed.

The ones who really cashed in their sanity checks aren't posting online at all, at least not in open forums. You don't hear about them until they do something. And those are the ones who scare the crap out of me.
Me too. The real scary thing is how many of these people do get out to vote.

If the police used bullets, it would have served the protesters right.
Do we already have a \"There Goes the Last Shreds of Democracy\" award this month? Or am I misusing the category?
So many people died for free speech, here in America and all over the world. The government line that our soldiers are fighting to bring democracy to Iraq presumably includes the right to free speech.
How can conservatards not see the irony in telling their own people to shut up while crowing that they're bring the right to free speech to others??

Exactly what are conservatives, particularly Free Conservatives, conserving? Brain activity?

Remember, it's not about freedom. It's about taking over the world. Conservative Christian types already believe they're slaves, so they don't think \"earthly\" freedoms matter much. They want to make everyone agree with them; \"freedom\" is just a tool to exploit in the process.

We'll remember that next time you want to protest an abortion clinic.

And that's all I got to say about Free Conservatives.

That went over well in 1970 in Ohio and Mississippi.

Napolean the clown \"Rubber bullets? That could have worked too, I guess.\"
If you are serious just keep in mind that the so-called \"safe-bullets\" (which makes no sense at all) like plastic and rubber bullets kill hundreds of people, especially when shot at heads/close range. It's just one of those smiley terms like 'friendly-fire' and 'sunshine-units'.

Served them right? They are protesting against war, how does it serve them right if they get shot being killed for not wanting war?

Remind me of this point the next time Phelps and his ilk act up, or there are protesters at an abortion clinic.
What's that? Only applicable if you disagree with the protesters views?
