Question this~!

I’ve been wanting to write a post like this for a while digging about I would like to say something on the issue. And as the Moonbat moment of the congress digests in my head I figured why not do it now?

Being against the war isn’t unpatriotic but some folks are being against the war in an unpatriotic way. So I think I should clarify what I personally see as the difference.

((And I may re-add to this list as time rolls on))

Now you can still be unpatriotic in an action without being unpatriotic in character. Like many people are unaware that Marxist-Leninist and Marxist-Stalinist movements are the major sponsors of the large anti-war protests in the country. It’s about acts of commission. You find yourself in a protest where people have signs showing “Death to capitalism, death to America.” And “Osama Bin Laden is right” you have a choice… do you choose to be a principled and patriotic opponent of the war or do you embrace the insane fringe to help your cause. When you sell your soul that’s when you commit a unpatriotic act.

Also even great patriots who fought and were brutally wounded in the field of battle can have unpatriotic moments which don’t negate their earlier patriotism. There is a different patriotism in peace then there is on the battle field
