I'll take that over people who vote because they are too stupid and lazy to realize that all the poo poo they are afraid of is just propagated bullshit by radio show hosts to get them to vote against their own interests. :colbert:

I'd say something about people who vote out of pure spite and hatred, but even if the Republicans all turned into Jesus Christ tomorrow I would keep voting for anything but out of pure spite and hatred, at this point.

I'll be honest. I think I find those... things... as repugnant as you do. They do drive me absolutely nuts, despite my best attempts to laugh them off. I do appreciate the way you so briefly rephrase and refute them.

If you wanted to either save yourself the grief (I mean, I know I could never subject myself to Hannity or Rush, for example) then I'd say give yourself a break.
On the other hand, you do a valuable service that I appreciate and I'm sure others do, too.

Also, the idea that ISIS are afraid of a bunch of incompetent chickenhawks eager to give them what they want.

Mark Twain posted:



We teach them to take their patriotism at second-hand; to shout with the largest crowd without examining into the right or wrong of the matter -- exactly as boys under monarchies are taught and have always been taught. We teach them to regard as traitors, and hold in aversion and contempt, such as do not shout with the crowd, and so here in our democracy we are cheering a thing which of all things is most foreign to it and out of place -- the delivery of our political conscience into somebody else's keeping. This is patriotism on the Russian plan.
- Mark Twain, a Biography

The soul and substance of what customarily ranks as patriotism is moral cowardice -- and always has been.
- Mark Twain's Notebook

[Patriotism] ...is a word which always commemorates a robbery. There isn't a foot of land in the world which doesn't represent the ousting and re-ousting of a longline of successive "owners" who each in turn, as "patriots" with proud swelling hearts defended it against the next gang of "robbers" who came to steal it and did -- and became swelling-hearted patriots in their turn.
- Mark Twain's Notebook

We have a bastard Patriotism, a sarcasm, a burlesque; but we have no such thing as a public conscience. Politically we are just a joke.
- marginalia written in Clemens's copy of The Future in America; A Search After Realities by H. G. Wells

Patriotism is usually the refuge of the scoundrel. He is the man who talks the loudest.
- Education and Citizenship speech, 5/14/1908

Patriot: the person who can holler the loudest without knowing what he is hollering about.

This is so simplified and carefully worded it makes my head hurt.

This is taking a basic truism and trying like the holy gently caress to turn it into some sort of "personal responsibility" rant but it's not, it just isn't. It ignores the very very basic fact that sometimes the events in life that are out of your control block out doors you could take or roads you want to go down.
Like: yes it was your choice and your responsibility that lead to where you are, but it wasn't your choice to have that choice. Criminals don't choose to be criminals because they want to, they choose to be criminals because events forced that choice on them, I'm sure, given thbe choice, each and every criminal would choose to live on the beach surrounded by cash and sun and surf, but that's not a choice they were ever given.

Jesus it's making my head hurt.
