		<description>&lt;em&gt;Rove ironically attacks Obama...&lt;/em&gt;
Calling Rove&#039;s statements &lt;em&gt;ironic&lt;/em&gt; soft-pedals their actual nature.  I would say &lt;em&gt;hypocritical&lt;/em&gt; rather than ironic better describes Rove&#039;s behavior.</description>

		<description>Bush subversives and their enablers have desecrated the Flag,

http://www.light-to-dark.com/gonzos_leahy.html

Liberty, and Justice.  Simply put: they&#039;ve committed treason and, like their heroes Irving Kristol and Leo Strauss, will continue to project a total deception 180 degrees from American Reality.  As we know, they are using our Flag as a facade of morality and righteousness, while simultaneously tearing the nation and it&#039;s Constitution apart.

That these same socialists condemn others for not wearing the Flag does not surprise the informed.  They want to link up with our most precious symbol and devalue it to the totalitarian level.

Karl Rove brought to power a most radical form of nationalist socialism immiscible in our culture and Constitution.  Rove should be jailed for abusing our symbol of freedom and sacrifice, not lecture patriots.

Do not tread on us, Mr. Rove.</description>

Um, McWars, how is that relevant to Rove and flag pins?

And in answer to your plea, maybe Gore would not like to serve alongside Bush Sr., whom Obama also said he would tap for (gag) advice. Just sayin’.&lt;/em&gt;

Um, it was breaking news. And the placement probably wasn&#039;t an inconvenience or anything because the stories of plastic patriotism are nothing new. 

Further evidence? It received three hits at the time of this posting. This is not a platform to for you to implement micromanaged policing of the threads, especially against progressive commentators. So get off your ass and ride your high horse elsewhere. Thinkprogress.org was not created to boost the egos of self-infatuated morons like yourself.</description>

		<description>Carter had an embargo against Saddam Hussein which was instantly removed when Reagan took office.  Under GHWBush, $5 billion in credits went illegally from the US to Saddam.  His ambassador told Saddam it didn&#039;t matter to the US if they invaded Kuwait.  The CIA put Saddam in power in the first place, not liberals.</description>

		<description>jackball Says April 2nd, 2008 at 6:13 pm: The far-left has not helped one bit in the war on terror and appears to be more concerned about protecting al queda scumbags in guantanamo bay than about protecting American lives.

Reagan/GHWBush planned to send $1 Billion worth of weapons illegally to the terrorist state of Iran under Ayatollah Khomeni.  They very strongly built-up the fundamentalist Islamists in Afghanistan who went on to become al Qaeda and the Taliban.  GWBush&#039;s Harken Energy&#039;s biggest funder was BCCI, full of Islamic terrorists and drug dealers.  John Kerry prosecuted Iran-Contra and BCCI as much as he could while being hampered by Republicans.</description>

		<description>So this is what Turd Blossom has come up with as the definition of a &#039;patriot?&#039;  Only one who wears a cheap $2 pin (probably made in China, no less) is deemed a patriot?

Wow, Karl. For a guy that pulled all the strings at the White House, you&#039;ve really gone down hill!  But then again, you probably also think that water boarding is just a quaint little party game...</description>

		<description>The terms &quot;liberal&quot; and &quot;conservative&quot;, in American politics, have lost their former meaning. &quot;Liberals&quot; wish to regulate commerce, and limit executive power, for the benefit of the individual. &quot;Conservatives&quot; wish to regulate individual behavior, and suck the bloated teat of unregulated commerce, while worshiping a supreme executive.

From where I stand it&#039;s the &quot;conservatives&quot; who stand against those ideals which made America great. Furthermore, today&#039;s &quot;conservatives&quot; have committed the most unforgivable sin known to man. THEY WRONGFULLY INVADED A SOVEREIGN NATION!

To lend one&#039;s support to the criminals who control our government damns one along with them. A lifetime of continuous torture is too good for them.</description>

You truly do not read, do you? Recruiters now can take someone who is 40+ years old, with a limited number of felonies on their criminal record - FELONIES. Also, crime of moral turpitude can be waived. Gang affiliation used to prevent you from joining, but no more. If your in a gang, we can use you. Mental issues are overlooked, minimal education is accepted (8th grade). How low will our standards have to be for us to continually meet these goals? Just think, with the military standards being so lax, even you could get accepted. Well, maybe.

Soon they might even allow those dangerous gays.</description>

		<description>I know for a fact (okay, no I don&#039;t - I&#039;m pretending to be a troll) that jackballs is a groundskeeper for a semi-pro football team.  It&#039;s his job to move the goal posts.  I also know for a fact that he wears his flag pin on his jock strap.  He is one patriotic dude.</description>

Oh, facts texaslady?

Here’s one for you.
Military recruitment goals have been exceeded, again.&lt;/em&gt;

You truly do not read, do you? Recruiters now can take someone who is 40+ years old, with a limited number of felonies on their criminal record - FELONIES. Also, crime of moral turpitude can be waived. Gang affiliation used to prevent you from joining, but no more. If your in a gang, we can use you. Mental issues are overlooked, minimal education is accepted (8th grade). How low will our standards have to be for us to continually meet these goals? Just think, with the military standards being so lax, even you could get accepted. Well, maybe.</description>

Tell me this: DOES THE DEPARTMENT OF DEFENSE GIVE THEIR GOAL NUMBERS BEFORE THEY CREATE THESE CHARTS? If not, then that means these numbers are useless and are probably not accurate. Just another instance of the DOD and another level of Bush&#039;s Regime lying to make itself feel better.</description>
