Rudy Is Right
Something's really got a hold on this guy, and it is not an excessive fervor for the American order. Questions about patriotism and love of country are, according to our self-appointed referees, out of bounds, declasse, boob bait for bubbas, etc. Those are questions that we are not allowed to ask in polite society. Why? Because polite society does not want to hear the answers.Jim Geraghty isn't as emphatic, but he also notices that Obama's "love," such that it may be, tends to the "tough love" variety:
Every Obama speech has a villain, and that villain is often other Americans who disagree with the president. He doesn’t hesitate to paint a very dark picture of the country he leads: citizens who are xenophobic and paranoid about Muslims, abusive police forces unfairly focusing on Muslim communities, a public eager to forcibly deport good Americans who just want to serve their country, and lawmakers determined to deny good education to children. Maybe Giuliani's language is a bit overwrought or hyperbolic, but is it really that much overwrought or hyperbolic than Obama's description of Americans who disagree with his policies? And if Obama consistently describes so many Americans as so prejudiced and mean-spirited... is Guiliani's conclusion really that outlandish?No he's right. The progressives have a lot of problems with America. That is the entire point of their politics: They don't like what America is, and wish to change it. This is what it means to be "progressive" -- you want to move away from what actually exists. Conservatives, by and large, defend the current order, because they like it, and do not wish to "fundamentally transform" America. This is what it means to be "conservative" -- one conserves, or keeps, what already exists. Progressives play this game where they launch nothing but nasty Marxist Critiques upon America, agitating for the country to remake itself entirely, but want to claim simultaneously: We love America as much as anybody. Oh you most certainly do not! Definitionally, you do not: One who "loves" with a long list of caveats and criticisms does not love as much as someone who loves completely (or with a much shorter list of caveats and criticisms). Furthermore, progressives take patriotism itself to be a the sanctimony of the unsophisticated. Or, as Oscar Wilde called it, "the virtue of the vicious." Progressives, when they're speaking honestly (that is, when they're not speaking in front of TV cameras), love to lampoon their fellow countrymen's unsophisticated, stupid, and obese love of country. They have in fact defined themselves as being Those who are too smart to buy into this "patriotism" nonsense. Want proof? When a progressive wants to show off to other progressives and collect acclaim, he let's it rip precisely how stupid he thinks people are who love their country. Remember this? This is the clip Aaron Sorkin used to sell his show to progressives as Must See entertainment. I assume Aaron Sorkin knows something about what attracts progressives to a TV show.
Did you guys see Anchorman 2? Not very good at all. What was the major target skewered by that film? Well, according to nasty progressive Adam McKay, they sought to skewer the "phony patriotism" on Fox News and such. He includes the word "phony," but is are there any expressions of patriotism he'd credit as not phony? I don't think so. I think he'd say that Marxist critiques of America are the "real patriotism," because real patriotism consists of hating your fellow countrymen's guts and thinking them barely advanced above the Morlocks. So we keep playing this insipid game, wherein people who actively, loudly loathe the nation mock patriotism when the cameras aren't on them but then when they're speaking publicly want to be credited as "loving America as much as anyone." And then, of course, establishment sell-out Republicans who are, get this, progressives in all meaningful ways (such as class affinity and class allegiance), swear that their progressive friends/employees/sex partners/side pieces are totally patriotic and that any Republican questioning this is himself Totally Unpatriotic. Enough of the game. Your entire politics is based upon resentment towards the existing American order and a hatred of current American mores. Get the fuck out of here with your insistence that I credit you as "loving America." And Obama is the absolute worst. He is explicitly -- he has told interviewers this, and David Axelrod writes about it in his book -- pursuing a "Bulworth" agenda by which he will Tell Americans how wrong they are about virtually everything, and yet the media needs the fainting couch when you point out that one is generally not said to be "in love with" people for whom one has nothing but complaints and critiques. Fuck 'em all.

I don't like the way America IS right now. We should have started "conserving" what is back in 1850, or at least in 1950. We have gone to shit. This is NOT the America I grew up in. I can remember when we would go for a Sunday drive and leave the front door open.

Why, however, he thinks all stompy-like that HE says this or that and makes it true, is like me telling you over and over that I am an aging super model. Now you don't know if that is true or not, but I am going to continue to say it. It could be, as well, his Berlin wall unicorn farhts of rising seas of utter madness. But I am pretty sure fear is a factor in this. Does not excuse it, as I am many things, but he does not look like a man of confidence nor leadership in crisis. He looks, well, afraid and petulantly blaming others vs facing reality (which is also a sign of narcissism says Dame Christy Freud). And we know who is running this show and it ain't him.

Gah. I've been listening to this horseshit since Reagan.
America is the most colonialist*, racist, evil, terror sponsoring country on the planet and, God, how dare anyone think it is a decent place, let alone a great place. But don't you dare question my patriotism and love of this country! Even though I just said I hated this country! How dare you!
It's so boring.
*Many years ago, whilst listening to some jackhole blather on about American colonialism and how the Founding Fathers unleashed a wave of imperialism across the globe, I interjected with "You do know that back when America was founded, the then British citizens were colonists? Right? I mean, you know that, right?"
That conversation ended rather quickly after that.

Conservatives are the only polite part of society. It's time to stop being polite.

I would argue that being progressive and wanting change (even fundamental change) doesn't mean you detest this country
Abolishing slavery was very 'progressive' and unpopular with a large segment of America. So much so that we had a civil war. But I would not question Lincolns love of our nation.
FDR was very progressive, the New Deal and all, but I sincerely believe he loved America.
KEnnedy - Johnson - also progressive - Civil Rights etc - same thing - patriotism not in doubt.
There's is something distinctly different about Obama and his fellow travelers. They are progressive but see themselves as citizens of the world who happen to be 'trapped' living here in America.

Let's take spousal behavior for one example. 2008, exhibit A.
Todd Palin had at one point before his wife got into national politics registered with the AIP, the Alaskan Independence Party. (Sarah came up with a completely lame-sounding rationalization for this that, gosh golly, Todd really didn't want to split off from the rest of America, he just wanted to register as an independent, and the big loveable dope messed up.)
The entire institutional left went hyperballistic. Why, the husband of the prospective VP _hates America so much_ that he doesn't want to even be part of it any longer! Eleventy!
The very same year, Michelle Obama said that she had never in her adult lifetime been proud of her country until her husband ran for president. Critics on the right then began to pointedly ask, um, there was _nothing at all_ in modern American history prior to the rise of al-Buraq that was meritorious? What does _that_ say?
The same institutional left that had pulled out the daggers over Todd Palin then locked arms and formed into ranks, shoulder to shoulder, and screamed hysterically that these rightist critics were DISRESPECTFULLY ATTACKING A FAMILY MEMBER and were RUDELY TRANSGRESSING BEYOND THE NORMAL DECENT BOUNDS OF POLITICAL QUESTIONING, eleventy!

That is why the saints became saints. They held reasoned beliefs and so, when challenged, they could withstand it. Not so hard to understand once you actually use your God-given brain.

President Obama and his ideological fellow travelers are doctrinaire neo-Marxists--'neo' in the sense that they don't want to be associated with mass murderers like Stalin and Mao and Pol Pot et al and view themselves more as Trotskyite social democrats in the European mold.

I can't help but read that and think "Sorry guys, you tried."

>>>Now let me change everything about you. Because I love you just that much.
I know where this is coming from but I can't see it applying the same way. I couldn't square Lincoln 'not loving the USA' with his efforts to transform it away from slavery. Quite the opposite, in fact. And, of course, Obama's fave Prez is supposed to be Abe.
Major difference, amongst many, is Abe's higher love was his faith while Obama's is unknown. And Abe had an obvious thing stated outright that he wanted to change while Obama has something unstated that he seems to be flailing and failing at.

He came home last night and said, "Nothing about that bastard surprises me anymore. I know he hates this country, and he hates us, and he hates our son. And when he's finally out of office, it wouldn't surprise me if, as a final 'fuck you,' he tossed his Kenyan birth certificate in our faces."

Back in the 90s, some impertinent reporter asked Hillary! if she loved America, and her response was that she loved "what American could become."
Suggested follow-ups:
1) "So, in other words, no, you don't."
2) "If Bill asked you if you loved him, how do you think he'd respond if that was your answer to him?"
Of course, nowadays Hillary is savvy enough to know how dreadful is the progressive answer to this question, so she'll do her best to answer like she believes a good ol' boy redneck would answer.

They believe that humans are "rational" (in other words humans would naturally think the same thing Leftists thing). There reason we are not in a utopia now is because there is some boogie-man that is messing things up and denying the "people" their "right" to utopia.
In America, the "kyriarchy" is the boogie-man. The Proggressives really believe that straigh White cis-gendered male 1%ers created American society to oppress people and thus benefit from their unearned privilege.
Progressives see themselves as a force to destroy that evil. Once that evil is destroyed, then we'd have utopia... allegedly. When their utopia doesn't pop into existence, they just see that as a sign that there are still evil oppressors around that must be ferreted out and neutralized.

I saw Geraldo on FNC & turned it off. After a while they just repeat the same news.
That was a DHS alert. I don't see it on Fox website.

Seriously, this is absolutely correct and I don't know why more Republicans don't hammer this point.
The entire point of progressivism is to change the status quo. Not marginal changes around the edges but overturn the entire system. You see this every once in a while when the mask slips as it did with that idiot at the UN who said that the point of AGW was to get rid of capitalism and replace it with a system of international socialism.
We need to keep hammering this simple, basic point.

The wife is my friend; her husband I sort of tolerate. He is not just a progressive but a FLAMING PROGRESSIVE JERK.
So we were doing the tourist thing of going around San Francisco and the Bay Area looking at stuff.
Every now and then he's raise his camera (he always has a camera around his neck) and took a picture of -- well, nothing that seemed worth taking a picture of.
Every now and then, when doing this, he'd murmur to his wife, "There's one!" or "That was a good one!" and she'd chuckle or nod.
The only thing these photos seemingly had in common was that they were generally scenes that including some kind of American flag or image or the American flag. On a pole, on a sticker, in a window, or somewhere.
Eventually, after yet another one of these pictures, I got up the nerve to ask him what he was taking pictures of.
"Oh - - American flags."
"Why?"
"Well, I'm planning on eventually doing a photo exhibit about knee-jerk patriotism."
"Oh -- really?"
"Yes - - about how Americans just reflexively put the flag everywhere."
"And you find this...distasteful? Admirable? What will be the point of the exhibit?"
"To show how the flag has become basically a shorthand for ignorance and xenophobia. If you display it, you are declaring yourself to be stupid and hateful. But the funny part is, they'e so stupid, they don't even know it! So I'm capturing images of the flag in ironic settings that sort of reveal the ugliness underneath."
I already didn't like the guy before this day; but after this conversation, my hatred of him went off the charts.
(I should explain that everyone assumes I'm a liberal too.)
That's how they feel. Except for the faux fainting couch routine for the cameras, they loathe loathe loathe America and everything it stands for. Openly, furiously, aggressively. If they could press a button and destroy America, they would.

We Tea Party crazies have been saying for some time that there's an often-too-fine-line between avoiding what Ace calls the "strong" version of one's politics and practicing euphemism. I'm getting the sense that Ace is reaching a tipping point.
That's not to say hyperbole is the better alternative to euphemism. It's best to not err either way but I think the line should be drawn at what's broadly accurate and defensible in honest debate rather than what the media will make of how you say something.
As an example, almost every piece I read on the immigration/defunding issue yesterday supported some kind of nuanced strategy because "Republicans will be blamed for a shutdown."
If that's the filter for all strategy, nothing of any consequence is ever going to get done on any issue we care about.
2/3 of America generally opposes Obama on amnesty. Strong majorities support us on many other issues. If that isn't enough political capital to take into a fight with the lying media, nothing ever will be.
It's one thing to go full Luap Nor. It's another to be so tepid and duplicitous that you dare not name your ideals and policy goals to either the general public or your own supporters. Either way, that's the politics of euphemism - selling out your base or soft-pedaling your own ideas as if they're somehow disreputable and require stealth implementation.

I understand that Rudy Giuliani's statement that the President does not love America makes you uncomfortable, largely because you share the President's sentiment, and would rather the rest of America not be aware of that fact.
So let me make myself very clear.
Fuck. You.
You snivelling whiners have just about destroyed the country I love. My father and my brother literally put their lives on the line for this country, and you, Oh suckers of cock, think them and me to be untermunschen.
Fuck. You.
You hate America, you pathetic sacs of dog shit. You hate her exceptionalism. You hate that she is a super power. You hate that she is the greatest temporal hope this world has seen. You hate that she offers true freedom- freedom to live your own life and succeed or fail on your own merits, instead of the slavery you call "freedom."
Fuck. You.
When Americans who love our country brag on it, or state our pride, you snear down your noses. To you, you sad wastes of carbon, anyone who could love America must be some kind of idiot, or bigot, or both. Your idea of "loving America" is like an abusive husband "loves" his wife.
Fuck. You.
You are simpering cowards. You wouldn't know moral fiber if it kicked your fucking asses. Your definition of courage is to hide behind your TV cameras, polls, or your demographics to deflect any possible criticism.

And husband's not a Birther.
___________________________
The thing about the birther crap was that it all started with Barry himself.
Barry is the one who told his publisher that he was born in Kenya. It was in their bio of him for decades -- and the publishers don't pull their authors' bio info out of their asses, they get it straight from the authors themselves. And it's probably also the reason why Barry's academic records are more closely guarded than the gold in Fort Knox -- because they too, like his publisher's bio, probably also show that Barry falsely claimed to have been born in Kenya.
I don't think Barry will throw his Kenyan birth certificate at us, because I don't believe Barry ever had a Kenyan birth certificate.
But I do believe that he spent decades lying that he did.

jagoffs we're inundated with. Real Americans love straight talk and do
not have an unlimited bullshit tolerance."
Nixon for all his policy blunders, especially domestic, was popular with the working class. Reagan Democrats existed because the SM were sick of Carter's New Left cronies and his glum pessimism about their country.
VDH wrote a great piece post Nov 2012 on right wing populism and how we could tap into that again.
Combine an assertive, confident patriotism with economic policies targeted at those making <100k - balanced budgets, spending cuts, deregulation, a national sales tax or flat tax instead of income tax. Turn the spotlight on the cost of higher education as the biggest threat to family savings next to health care. There are a ton of ideas and approaches that could be tried on this, just keep the focus on the forgotten middle class that's now being crushed between dependents and the uber rich donor class.

I suspect also that there was some sort of hinky whiff around the Hawaiian birth cert, stuff that had to be cleaned up by helpful state authorities, and they found out about it a little too late to stage-manage a reveal in 2008.
Hence the extensive expensive lawyering-up that went on that year.
Barry being Barry, he probably never bothered to look until someone forcibly reminded him about the matter, and then shit-oh-dear, it turned out there was a problem.
My guess is that the Soetero adoption stuff was still officially on the books.
The way they ran that back in the day in Hawaii was that when a later adoption occurred, the state office went back to the original birth cert, and destroyed it, and issued a new one with the name of the adoptive father plugged in, and with the child's surname changed to that of the adoptive father. Totally effacing the original birth father from official history and records.
So that would have meant that Barack "Obama" really _was_ for all legal purposes Barry Soetero, and had been for decades. A bit of a sticky wicket, that.

"The government says these are extremists who believe that they can

daily instances such as a traffic stop or being required to obey a
court order."
Call me a racist, but if you leave out "individuals rights are under attack" you've just described half the inner city and all the illegal aliens. Gun laws? Traffic laws? Driver's licensing laws?

Could be. Or it could be that Barry signed those school applications under oath (which is usually required), and if he falsely claimed to have been born in Kenya, then he committed perjury. Also, if he signed an application for some type of "foreign" student loan or scholarship under oath, then he also committed fraud.
He went to a lot of trouble to keep his school records secret. My guess is that's the reason. Obama was pretty much an unknown quantity to the American public in 2008. He was able to explain away all the Reverend Wright "G-d damn Amerikkka" stuff (with considerable help from the worshipful media). But would he have been able to explain away clear evidence that he was both a liar and a cheat?

iirc, it would be more accurate to say that they morphed back into progressive when liberal became a dirty word.
They were known as progressives during the early part of the 20th Century. But that term fell into disuse along with some of the darker aspects of the political philosophy, such as euthanasia and forced sterilizations.

They would be walking back or in a taxi and they would have been told to go fuck themselves. I've told more fucktards off over the last 6 years than in the span of my entire adult life. I just. don't. care. My tolerance for anyone even exhibiting a trace of Libtardism gets crossed off my list. I no longer have any libtard acquaintances at all.
