Patriotic Avatars

Like you were proud to show your partisanship by telling us all that you would rather vote for a pedophile than a Democrat? Way to show America the dark side of being "moderate right".

Can't respond to the thread, can you?
 
I was just reading posts today and seemed to notice something I never noticed before. Maybe it's true and maybe it isn't. But, for those who lean right or are clearly right, I see a lot of patriotic avatars and I don't remember any patriotic avatars off the top of my head from anyone who leans left or are clearly left. I wasn't talking about screen names but avatars. Does anyone who leans left or are clearly left have a patriotic avatar? Anyone? To me this is some form of subliminal acknowledgement from the left that they would rather complain about our country rather than be proud of it. Anyone care to try to prove me wrong?

You're talking about "nationalistic" right-wing avatars vs just personality or joke avatars. Your thesis is that people who are not conservative are not patriotic.
 
I prefer people to judge me based what I write, not what some label tells them they should believe about me. You got a problem with that?

Well, when you write as a lefty then there seems no purpose to claiming "undisclosed". That's one of the biggest things I don't understand. To me, it appears that lefties are ashamed and embarrassed to own up to who they are. But, you're certainly not fooling anyone to claim undisclosed.
 
Leftists love their ideology more than the country.

Yes, recently a city in California voted to rename manhole covers. In a state with lots of problems, including millions of homeless people, it was more important to them to rename manhole covers instead of addressing those more important issues.
 
Maybe they just don't feel they fit into any category. Maybe they don't want their post viewed through a lens of preconceived ideas about their lean.

But then they make a post showing exactly their preconceived ideas and their obvious lean.
 
In my case it is because I remain open minded and do not automatically support or oppose a subject because one party or the other tells me to.

Ever since the tea party took over the Republican party, and they morphed into trump cult members I have had very little time for the bat**** crazy right.

Therefore I currently lean towards logic, and that happens to make me lean left.

That being said I will never commit to one party or another as no party is 100% correct...

Even though there are many bat**** crazy right Trump supporters, it is the left leaning MSM who puts a magnifying glass on their reporting to make it appear both Trump and his supporters are far worse than they actually are. They have an agenda to take the right down using very biased and unfair reporting.
 
To me, waving or displaying a flag doesn't make anyone more or less patriotic than those not doing it.



"...Flag-waving is a fallacious argument or propaganda technique used to justify an action based on the undue connection to nationalism or patriotism or benefit for an idea, group or country. This fallacy appeals to emotion instead to logic of the audience aiming to manipulate them to win an argument.

Flag-waving - Wikipedia

It was just a general observation.
 
I've noticed that too. Liberals seem to be embarrassed as to their lean while those who lean right, for the most part, are proud to identify themselves properly. I think it has something to do with liberals thinking that they are mainstream while everyone else are deplorables. If they think they are mainstream I guess they feel no need to identify themselves. There is a level of arrogance on their side that they are mainstream as polls have shown that more Americans identify themselves as conservative than they do as liberal.

Are you not embarrassed to be extremely right so you claim to be moderate?

NO moderate would vote for a pedophile over any democrat ....... except you.
 
My avatar shows that I am a patriotic Independent, someone who votes for a mix of parties every election.

No it does not. It shows you like to appear that way, despite people knowing better.
 
Trumpsters believe fascism and patriotism are synonymous.

Doesn't have anything to do with Trumpsters. We have had a flag from the get go. We have a national anthem and we have the Pledge of Allegiance. These have been around for hundreds of years. Patriotism was very big when this country first started. As the years go by patriotism has waned and over the last few decades, liberals have been doing their very best to destroy the meaning of patriotism altogether.

Says the guy who said he'd vote for a pedophile, as long as they weren't democrat. How non-partisan of you! This "moderate" face is not working on anyone that actually reads your posts.

You are reading way too much into this. I made a general observation that the right seem to have more patriotic avatars than the left do and even the lefties on here, even though they want to argue about it, basically agree.
 
Yes, show your "patriotism" by using a certain avatar. We all know how this works.

I did respond to the thread. That's why you quoted my post in this thread.

Your avatar isn't patriotic enough. It doesn't show how much you support pedophiles over Democrats.

Over the last several months you have abandoned all discussion and just about every post of yours is about total nonsense.

I never voted for a pedophile that I know of. Do you have any proof that I did? Hell, even if you call Trump a pedophile, I didn't vote for him either.

The more someone pushes the whole patriotic imagery, the more I doubt their sincerity. Just like people who wear the biggest crosses, are trying intentionally very hard to project an image so they can blind side or lull others into a sense of complacency/ unjustified trust.

BTW, you don't need to wrap yourself in the flag to be patriotic.
 
No it does not. It shows you like to appear that way, despite people knowing better.

I have many posts on here showing that I have voted for a mix of candidates. Just for the presidency alone I voted for both Obama and Bill Clinton the second time around. I don't vote for any far right nut jobs either and I'm certainly not going to vote for a far left nutjob. I have voted for at least one Democrat every election I can think of.
 
Considering he said he'd vote for a pedophile over a Democrat, I'm betting never.

But he is "independent", LOL! Last Republican I voted for was Ben Gillman. He was too moderate so they eliminated his district.
