See if this boils your blood

I was up in D.C. this past Wednesday. I was in a parking garage and saw a bumper sticker that made me want to commit an act of vandalism. It read:

"STOP AMERICAN NATIONALISM"

I can't even imagine what kind of person living in this country would put that on their car.

I don't think even American liberals would go for that, though. Maybe I'm naive?

I agree with Ken. You are indeed naive in this case.

It was probably my brother-in-law - black Jeep Liberty?

What does that mean, anyway - American Nationalism? What exactly are they trying to stop?

Yep...

...but before you get all excited let's be clear: Bush, in wanting democracy in Iraq and in wanting an ownership society to replace SS is engaing in CLASSIC liberalism.

Liberal; Generous, tolerant, favoring reforms.

As we used to know the word, a classic liberal is after equality of opportunity, promoting freedom whenever and where ever possible and would sooner DIE than the cops be the only ones with guns and, all around, emphasizing the individual.

Now, certainly W's stance against gay marriage is not very liberal but his major identity will come from Iraq and from Social Security. His massive expansion of medicaire is a rather liberal idea, in essence, government paying for much of healthcare.

MODERN liberalism is all about group identity and class warfare. See Dean, Kerry, Schumer Daschle et al. They don't have a progressive bone or idea in their bodies. They are a system, the keepers of the spoils system 30 years of hyper sensitivity has bastardized and morphed and beauractized ML Kings 'I have a Dream' speech.

That modern 'liberal' Democrats fought tooth and nail to keep LIBERAL DEMOCRACY from the Middle East is to their eternal shame.

Does this mean no one else knows what "American nationalism" means, either?
