No thats a normal division throughout this farcical healthcare debate.
If someone agrees with what is being said then the person saying it is a real American , if they oppose what is being said then the person saying it is un-American.
It's a wonderful division and it works for both sides , the fact that it is nonsense doesn't make it that strange really.
Entertaining would be a much better word than strange.

What's funny is that for the last 8 years, those of us who protested the wars were labelled loons and un-American. Now all of a sudden protesting makes you a "real American".

Yeah, the guy's argument was so devastating, we were reduced to "Well....Uh....yeah...but BUSH = HITLER!1!!1"

It's ironic that you would write that, because half of what this guy did was basically say "OBAMA = HITLER!!1!1", which is just as moronic as the former slogan.

Just tell them what they told us for those eight years.

"This is America! Love it or leave it!"

As matter of fact I have yet to hear a conservative threaten to leave this country if the current president is reelected.

I'm sure all of the "I Support Our President No Matter What!" bumper stickers have become very slow sellers on the right wing websites now. :rotfl:

Remember the "don't tase me bro!" guy? Here's what O'Reilly had to say about him:

On September 18, 2007: "It's not pleasant, but that idiot, he wanted this to happen. He wanted the cops to do it. He wanted to disrupt the forum. And to me, I think he should be prosecuted...Well, what about disrupting the peace? You know, this is what -- look, the guy goes in there. He's totally inappropriate in every way, Jeanine [Pirro]. There isn't one appropriate thing the man did. He wants to disrupt the forum. Security has an obligation not to allow the forum to be disrupted."

Funny how he's not saying that anymore about the town hall screamers, eh?

It's no more funny than how you refuse to realize it was never about what the guy was saying but that he wouldn't leave when asked. I didn't see that Marine in the video scuffling with the cops did you?

its only socialism when someone else gets stuff you pay for

You mean like roads, passenger trains, police, airliners ,armies, fire dept.......but when it comes to health hell no.
The funny thing though is that with private health insurance you pay for what other people get , just like you do with car insurance and property insurance.
So apparently you have been living with "socialism" all your life and been perfectly happy with it.

The reason the cops were trying to haul him off was that he was being disruptive. The exact same thing that's going on now.

People are protesting loss of liberty, and intrusive government. It's obvious they aren't going anywhere, and are willing to fight. I'm glad to see Americans challenging these leftwing Democrat members of Congress who seem to think they have a say in what "we can have" or not. Too bad there are many who simply don't understand nor desire liberty. They are simply interested in empowering government to seize property from some to distribute to others.

The core of liberty is personal responsibility. Without it, you have nothing. That's what this whole thing boils down to. The entire health care debate is totally driven by who takes responsibility for their own healthcare. A free, independant, and responsible citizenry, or big intrusive government on behalf of a fearful and dependant mass of serfs.

Fair enough, enough of that been going around lately. But where were you guys the last 10 years? I believe there was a somewhat minor expansion of government during that time.
