2. While I agree with you that Obama bashing isn't warranted on a day like today...
...saying that criticizing the President is unpatriotic automatically earns an unrec.

"To announce that there must be no criticism of the President, or that we are to stand by the President, right or wrong, is not only unpatriotic and servile, but is morally treasonable to the American public. "

-Theodore Roosevelt

3. And proof positive that some DUers are so far off the rail it's
stunning. Good thing the internet wasn't around when we were being so mean to Hitler.

4. Not seeing it and anyway
your post is too right wingerish like sounding to me.

The right wingers said the same thing to dissenters of the Iraq war and
Saddam, remember.

6. To call speech unpatriotic and un-American is unpatriotic and un-American.
Just saying.

7. Meh. I don't give two tugs of a dead dog's dick for patriotism
or "Americanism", but the Obama bashing is simply dumb, lame, and sadly predictable around here.

10. So
because they "killed" the chief patsy figurehead of the war on "terror" (war for oil) we are suddenly supposed to excuse the drone killings of civilians, the biggest bank theft in world history (2008 mortgage crisis) (un-prosecuted), the biggest environmental crime in world history, BP oil spill (un-prosecuted), the escalated wars, the escalated defense spending.

12. Not really sure of the context here, but since when did bashing the president become unpatriotic?
Dissent is the highest form of patriotism and what not.

13. Actually, bashing the government IS patriotic and American,
when they deserve to be bashed and this administration has certainly earned it's share of bashing.

don't start this unpatriotic/un-American bullshit......

16. There are times to criticize and times to praise
They have nothing to do with the sense of pride and patriotism that American's have lost over the last decade. It is really a shame that the meanness of the radical right has destroyed the sense of American unity that we all use to share. Try to remember the days following 9/11, and longer back if you can, to a time when all American's shared a sense of pride in who we are due to our political differences.
I blame the far right for the demise of patriotism but I, personally do not have to fall victim to it.
