America First!

America First!

Does the left in this Country, specifically those who voted for kerry, consider themselves "World Citizens", or Americans First?

Your "America hating" is just another excuse to bash the left.


BTW, I would be interested to hear what it is the left stands for? You see John Kerry only told me about how much of a f***-up General Bush is, and how he is not different from Bush just more capable, but no one ever told me what is that the left in this country stand for.


JUST LOOK AT A POSITION THE RIGHT STANDS FOR then do a 180 degree turn and thats what the left stands for.. with no plan...

Your opinion, not mine! Or for that matter not everyone elses.

I can accept that, and probably went over the line. I was put in a foul mood by the "India and many other countries just hit the lottery," quote by Citizen Gideon MacLeish. Such a distasteful statement put me in a foul humor.


"Apology accepted, Captain."-----Darth Vader, in "The Empire Strikes Back", as Captain Needa, having failed Vader, dies under the "force choke".

I agree that GM could have been a little more subtle in his wording, but I do have to go along with the sentiment. We've already been accused of being "stingy", though, by the UN, so maybe their jackpot isn't as big as it could have been.
Of course, when they had to spend 100,000+ lives to win it, I think the ante was a little too rich for my blood, if you get my drift.

hitparade - 'General Bush' - I see that now the election is over a number of right wing bloggers have openly taken to calling GWB 'General Bush' or 'Our Leader'. We don't do that sort of thing in civilized countries anymore. This is further proof of the militaristic mindset of these folks. This also reminds me of how ClearChannel is now displaying huge billobard ads with a picture of Bush and the caption 'Our Leader'. How North Korean.

'America First!' is eerily reminiscent of some Nazi slogans of the 1930's. Here are some I found over at www.wikipedia.com, replace 'Germany' with "America' and tell me if these sound similar to what the Dr. Millers and rightwingers and hitparades and ModerateMans are spewing:

# "Lang lebe Unser Ruhmvoller Führer"
* "Long Live Our Glorious leader!" (Dr. Miller loves calling Bush his 'Leader')

# "Ihr Heimatland Wird Deutschland Genannt! Lieben Sie Es Vor allem! Handlung Nicht Wörter!"
* "Your Fatherland Is Called Germany! Love It Above All! Action Not Words!". (My country, right or wrong, a deprecated mindset not suitable to 21st century civilization)

# "Deutschlands Feinde sind Ihre Feinde. Hassen Sie Sie Mit Ihrem Ganzen Herzen!"
* "Germany's Enemies are Your Enemies. Hate Them With Your Whole Heart!". (And oh Lord, do right wing Americans hate anyone who disagrees with them with their whole heart)

# "Er, der Deutschland Missbraucht, Missbraucht Sie und Ihre Toten. Schlagen Sie Ihre Faust Gegen Ihn!"
* "He who Abuses Germany, Abuses You and Your Dead. Strike Your Fist Against Him!". (And they are so thin skinned to criticism!)

# "Die Deutschen Immer Vor dem Ausländer und Juden"
* "The German Always Before the Foreigner and Jew!" (Americans - right wing Americans - have an irrational hatred of anything non-American these days)

I think you forgot one:

"America Uber Alles!"

Yeah, us jackbooted stormtroopers who patriotically support our country; we're such nationalist fascists. I do hope to God I'm misreading all this crap, and you're just joking.

When Bush grows a toothbrush mustache and a quivering forelock, starts screaming, bulging his eyes and waving his hands when he gives a speech, then I'll worry.

I would think *you* are the one with the hatred, not rightwinger! He's right...go back and reread his other posts, you will find the opposite of what your saying.

Darn, I was shooting for Vader bowing before the emperor.
