Re: Is American patriotism out of hand?

How am I "wrong"? I asked a question. You found one instance of both parties being on the wrong side of one issue (even though half of democrats weren't on the wrong side). That hardly seems to be a good basis for a permanent "Both sides are equally terrible" political stance.

Can you give an example of an issue in which they are both wrong or both right?

I gave you one - you have a problem with basic math, you can't count to one?

Again - admit it, your wrong again.

Re: Is American patriotism out of hand?

Here's how this conversation went:

Me: Can you give me an example of a number between 1 and 10?
You: 4! Admit you're wrong!
Me: I was just asking a question
You: Say you're wrong! You need to say you're wrong! I'm a whiny baby like my favorite politician, Trump!!!

My favorite companies to work for have been the ones that paint a uniquely positive picture of their good or service outwardly but inwardly are their own worst critic.

If you're not your own worst critic, someone else will be. And that doesn't lead to progress.

I've got some bad news for you about the person in charge of the country and the people that he has appointed to head various agencies...

I was a vocal anti Trump guy but his speech today was a total HOME RUN!

He was populist and very patriotic and didn't talk about himself at all. AMERICA FIRST will be the rallying call going forward and the lens that everything propsed will be judged by. The rest of the worlds free ride is over and now we are putting this country first as it should be.

Like Trump or not he is now POTUS and we all need to root for his success is the success of us all. Tom Hanks recently said that while he didn't vote for Trump is hoping that he will vote for his reelection which means that the country prospered in the first term. We all need to take that attitude going forward.

Haha! Coach was drinking some cool aid during that post of his or at least a whole bunch of liquor.

I was embarrassed for Coach when he posted that. I do like Coach though. I do not agree with a lot of his poltics but I sense Coach's main motivation is to provide opportunity for his son.

That said I am a strong beliver that our personal enrichment must be tempered with respect for one another and the best interest of our planet.

Fuck tRump and his sheep!

I couldn't agree more. I love Coach and his dedication to being a good father is undeniable but I'm still going to call him out when he's being ridiculous! You could say that it takes one to know one though, I know how my posts can read after a few drinky poohs.

Of course we got to call Coach out when he is being ridiculous!

Drunk posting is the 21st century drunk driving. Eventually there will be support groups to save us from ourselves

Speaking of drunk posting where is that shamless bastard PeePutin/PooTex been lately??

Re: Is American patriotism out of hand?

Hey Coach is fine , enthusiastic about that which he believes and certainly no shrinking violet .

While i may not always agree with him on everything he is a very good dad, a great golfer and obviously knows more about skiing technique than i will EVER know

So i like the man

Life ain't a dress rehearsal: Spread enthusiasm , avoid negative nuts.

I'm just holding people to account. Blatantly phony appeals to patriotism and nationalism are scary, as the OP in this thread explains.

I'm hopeful, too.

Hopeful that Mueller takes down Trump, Pence, and McConnell and we get some decent leadership for this country.
