Im proud of jordan11's participation on Propeller.
I've always found it to be stunningly patriotic --- and a welcome breather from the typical mindless jingoism common to us Christian Conservatives.
Well ... liek the the video that came with this story ... and the MOTIVE behind this story!
---
Which is UNCANNILY similar in tone to when OmegaGnosis submitted a story commentin on Barack Obamas Middle Name!
See ... all we Christian Conservatives really want is that everybody looks and sounds alike ... and that we all agree with the 'talkin points'..
Namely:
- America is the Best.
- America does no wrong
- Aint nuthin America can do if we can just get rid of minorities
- When we Neo-Cons say jump ... the rest of you citizens sposeta say 'How High'.
Is that too much to ask of all you maggots ... you who aint Christian Conservative Crazy Neo-Con War Mongers?

Patriotism is measured in many ways. Wearing lapel pins, saluting the flag, and grandstanding are not among the ways we show pride in our nation. When we work with the poor of this nation to lift them up from poverty, we show pride. When we teach the young of this nation, we show pride. When we accept the fact that this nation was built for all to seek refuge from others who persecute based on overbearing religious beliefs, we show our love of this nation. We do not need to run off to war for oil, or worship any time we want, or own guns to be proud Americans.
If Michelle Obama had reflected on America's weak points over the past 8 years, she would have reason to pause and wonder how it is that the Bush family has squandered the value of being an American and tarnished our nation's name and honor. Patriotic jingoism wins no one points with me.

You raise very valid points. However, I think it is good to concentrate on the good things about this country every once in awhile. A few good comments have been made in this thread. A few not so good. A few good debates, each with facts, have taken place and been rather respectful of each other. A few not so respectful debates have taken place. Overall jingoism will be here. So will real sentiments based in reality from various figures.

"A few not so respectful debates have taken place. "
Mdiar, if you're referring to our little exchange about Katherine Harris's resemblance to Chewbacca earlier today, I'm not the only man who finds excessively thick back hair on a woman to be a turnoff. You were all..."Meso, there's beauty in all living creatures...blah blah..." Whatever. Can we please get beyond this childishness? I'm wiling to if you are... ;-x
