TRUE AMERICAN
It is time to change from REDNECK humor to TRUE AMERICAN Humor ! Only it isn't seen as HUMOR, but the correct way to LIVE YOUR LIFE !
If you feel the same, pass this on to your True American friends.
Y'all know who they are...
You might be a TRUE AMERICAN if: It never occurred to you to be offended by the phrase, 'One nation, under God.'
You might be a TRUE AMERICAN if:
You've never protested about seeing the 10 Commandments posted in public places.
You might be a TRUE AMERICAN if: You still say 'Christmas' instead of 'Winter Festival.'
You might be a TRUE AMERICAN if: You bow your head when someone prays.
You might be a TRUE AMERICAN if: You stand and place your hand over your heart when they play the National Anthem.
You might be a TRUE AMERICAN if: You treat Viet Nam vets with great respect, and always have.
You might be a TRUE AMERICAN if: You've never burned an American flag.
You might be a TRUE AMERICAN if: You know what you believe and you aren't afraid to say so, no matter who is listening.
You might be a TRUE AMERICAN if: You respect your elders and expect your kids to do the same.
If you got this email from me, it is because I believe that you, like me, have just enough TRUE AMERICAN in you to have the same beliefs as those talked about in this email.
God Bless the U S A !

Does this extend to muslims, jews, etc?
You stand and place your hand over your heart when they play the National Anthem.
Members of the military don't do this, they stand at attention. Are they not "true Americans"?
You know what you believe and you aren't afraid to say so, no matter who is listening.
Does this extend to people who don't want "under God" jammed in the pledge, the 10 commandments forces into the public square, or who have legitmately and legally protested by buring the flag?
You respect your elders and expect your kids to do the same.
Just don't respect them enough to want them to have full pensions and affordable medical care.
“You know what you believe and you aren't afraid to say so, no matter who is listening”
I believe you’re an asshole and hope everyone is listening.
The author is right - this is not humor. Nor is it the American way to demand homogeny from what has always been a diverse collection of people. There isn't just one way to be an good American. Crawl back in your hole, hater.
You treat Viet Nam vets with great respect, and always have
Those stupid asshole baby killers don't deserve respect!
You've never burned an American flag.
I burn one every day! As long as there is emails like this and asshole Republicans I will continue to burn burn burn!
Those stupid asshole baby killers don't deserve respect!
Please. Many of the soldiers in Vietnam were drafted into the service. And not all of the men who enlisted were looking to kill babies. Many of my high school classmates died in that absurd war while I was safe in college with my student deferment. I refuse to paint them all with the same broad brush.
Zeno, I used to have some respect for you, perhaps it was undeserved.

If acknowledging the fact that the world is complicated and broad generalizations don't always work makes someone unworthy of your "respect", then I'm not sure that respect is worth much.
Just found this site. Do members here always have such angry things to say?
This website is a museum of right-wing idiocies, Feliscatusdomo. As a rule, anger and disgust are the most appropriate emotions.
Thanks Zeno. I agree. These topics are crazy and silly. I understand the anger. I just don't understand why someone would want to burn the American Flag on purpose. The Flag represents our entire nation, not just the people who wrote the original message. Anger may be appropriate, but destroying the flag out of pure spite is not.
People like you are the problem! You don't tell me what I can do asshole. I can burn the flag anytime I want. I will burn one for you right now.
Right now, there are what I'd call rightwing trolls trying to hijack the comments.
The totally unmerited comment about View Nam war vets being "baby killers" indicates the depths of depravity to which some conservatives will sink. That troll is attempting to make it seem as if someone with a more liberal perspective is saying that. No, it's not a liberal, it's a rightwinger saying that.
Just a warning for anyone who is currently reading the comments. If some seem really crummy, it's not from lefties. It's from some conservative person trying to make lefties *seem worse* than rightwingers.
Good luck with that. All you have to do is read through the plethora of rightwing forwards to see what conservatives think, what they believe & how they behave.
I find it interesting that now conservatives also come here to hijack the comments, in an effort to make lefties seem somehow "worse" than the original forwards.
I think the rightwing forwards speak for themselves.
It's all the same guy. He realizes his ideas have no merit, and that he'd be slaughtered in a debate.
Karl Rove (another troll in his own way) would be proud.
More wisdom from Karl Rove.
Why don't they let Liberals swim in the ocean?
Because they can't get the smell out of the tuna.
I Think You Qualify
TO COMMENT
Only comment if: You deplore prejudice and bigotry in all its forms, but think that everyone in the “red states” is an idiot.
Only comment if: You think that Rush Limbaugh’s listeners are mindless,” but you have never doubted anything that you heard from Michael Moore or gruaud.
Only comment if: You believe that more federal regulations will make your life better.
Only comment if: You think the Dixie Chicks and Tim Robbins should say what they want, but O'reilly, Hannity, and Limbaugh should be censored.
Only comment if: You want what you feel "you deserve", instead of what you earn.
Only comment if: You are against censorship unless it's censoring Christianity, Conservatism, Western culture, Rush Limbaugh, or Ann Coulter.
Only comment if: You think Freedom of Speech and agreeing only with MyRightWingDad go hand-in-hand.
Only comment if: You think conservatives are desecrating the appearance of lefties by echoing what they really believe.
Finally, our little mimic troll takes a stand on conservative talking points as espoused by Grand Poobah Limbaugh (who, by the way, shuns debate on his show...dead giveaway that he's 100% bullshit).
1) Prejudice is always bad. So call your red states on it, idiot. Then maybe you'll have credibility.
2) You have no idea if I dispute Moore, zombie. I don't take marching orders from ANYONE -- because I'm a liberal, that's why. Limbaugh is free to spew his poison; but never think for a second I won't call him on it. Or Moore for his excesses and stunts.
3) Federal regulations keep the wild beast that is predatory, gilded age capitalism from screwing the living hell out of the rest of us. I work in a regulated indusry where the Fed is an adversary. And I love them for it.
4) Helping the disenfranchised at the expense of the people who actively help keep them there is no sin, son.
5) No one has ever called for censure. Hey, you're an asshole but you're welcome to post here. Limbaugh is the worst kind of hypocrite but no one has called for gagging him permanently. But YOU fuckers have actively tried to censure the left. All of it well documented.
6) Again, you are free to be the worst kind of asshole. Play to your strengths.
7) You obviously have no ideas what lefties really believe, because actually giving a shit about your fellow citizens is utterly foreign to you.
Play again. I think the rest of the regulars would like to whack you around, too.
Our mimic troll needs some advice, so I'll give him some: If you're going to hijack my handle, troll, consider getting a dictionary to help you with words, a primer on grammar to help you with syntax, and a usage manual to help you use punctuation correctly. Given your paucity of talents, those aids might suffice to permit you to emulate me more successfully -- as long as you keep it really simple. Really simple. Sort of like you.
Agree with the real gruaud & Zeno, in the prior 2 posts.
Firstly no one here (and no one that I know) has asked/demanded that rightwing hate-speech talking heads, like Limbaugh, Hannity, O'Reilly, be *censored.* I may deplore their lies & propogranda & they way they hypnotize their minions, but I've never ever called for censorship.
The notion that leftwingers would call for censorship is a big "Tell" here as to the *projection* of what rightwingers DO onto the left.
No leftie/liberal I know, including myself, is some kind of "dittohead" for Micheal Moore or Keith Olbermann or Rachel Maddow, or whomever else. That is yet another big "Tell" of rightwiners *projecting* onto the left what they, themselves, do. It's conservatives who so completely in the thrall of Limbaugh, et al, and follow to the letter what they're directed to do & think by Rush.
Those on the left will certainly *listen to* Micheal Moore, et al, but I don't know anyone who's accept their words as "dogma" to be followed no matter what.
Plus duly noted that while Limbaugh, Hannity, O'Reilly have DAILY tv and/or radio programs, UH, lessee... Michael Moore is on tv/radio??? What? like once in a while. So the whole comparison of Moore as some kind of mind-controller is specious & absurd.
Enough. Agree with gruaud. It appears that we are "graced" with one rightwinger who's too chicken sh*t scared to "talk in his/her own voice," so mimics/pretends to be one or the other of the regulars who post here... and does so very gracelessly, artlessly but also very *obviously.*
Per usual: righwing FAIL.
"You might be a TRUE AMERICAN if: You've never burned an American flag."
So... True Americans have never had to properly dispose of a worn flag?
"You know what you believe and you aren't afraid to say so, no matter who is listening."
Does not compute with:
"You've never protested about seeing the 10 Commandments posted in public places."
YOU MIGHT BE A TRUE AMERICAN IF: You support separation of church and state because you are aware of the atrocities committed in the history of our world by church controlled governments against those who did not follow the same beliefs.
YOU MIGHT BE A REPUBLICAN IF: You support separation of church and state ONLY if the ruling religion is not Christianity.
Hey, didn't Jesus preach against hypocrisy?!?
Try spending a little less time spouting your trash and more time reading the bible...
And by the way, our founding fathers were Christians but they supported the separation because they saw the inherent evil and abuse in church run government.
More importantly, God wants individuals to come to him willingly--not forced or intimidated.
Shorter RW forward: "You're not a 'true American' unless you're an Authoritarian follower like me."
