I Will Spell This Out In Crayon

Now that conservatives are no longer in power there seems to be some confusion. Alot of you saids and but when you weres. We never questioned liberals patriotism for disagreeing with us as are we now doing with you. We questioned liberal patriotism for printing on the front page of the New York Times our counter-intelligence strategies. We questioned your patriotism for your Senators that stood up on the floor of The United States Congress and called our troops murderers and rapists. We questioned liberal patriotism for celebrating death counts on the nightly news as if the big numbers were a victory for your cause. Woo fucking hoo 10,000 million dead... we told you so ha ha vote for us. We questioned your patriotism for your lawyers representing terrorists more concerned with the tread count in their sheets than the actions and words and their deeds. We questioned you patriotism because you find fault in our good and all good in our faults. We question your patriotism because if you loved your country so much you wouldnt be trying as hard as you are to change it.

Ah, yes those unpatriotic lawyers who defended the "terrorists" in court. Men like Navy Lieutenant Commander Charles Swift, pressured to arrange a quick plea bargain, but who, at considerable damage to his career, took his case to the Supreme Court and won. When I speak of principled conservatives it is men like Lt. Swift I have in mind, although it makes no difference if they are conservatives or liberals. Men like Lt. Swift and General Antonio Taguba, who opposed and exposed torture and upheld American principles and the rule of law are the true patriots, in my opinion.

You question our patriotism because we are trying to change this country for the better? I suppose you would question the patriotism of abolitionist William Lloyd Garrison, who burned a copy of the Constitution on the Fourth of July because it sanctioned slavery. But Garrison lived to see the Constitution amended to abolish slavery.

The New York Times, to its credit and in the best traditions of the First Amendment, exposed a pattern of illegal wiretaps, as years earlier it published the Pentagon Papers.

I'm not going to defend every action and every comment by every liberal politician but I will match my patriotism against yours any day of the week.

It is good though that they won't let you have anything sharper than crayons.
