Yeah. I saw it. Nothing said about love of country.

???? He asked if that was elitist....I answered. Not elitist but at the same time I don't know why one would look down on someone for displaying their flag in support of their country. Then I supported with an example.

I thought I was pretty clear there.

Damn straight we did. Washington beat the crap out of those Brits. We owe him our gratitude and the soldiers in helping set America on the course to freedom from tyranny.

unfortunately.... quite a handful of "patriotic" Americans do not know much about it. That's why it's very easy to fear-monger those kind of people.

I wouldn't call that elitist....but I would say it is possible to love your country and it's freedom without knowing The Monroe Doctrine or The Federalist papers

oh I don't care about that fine-tooth details. I'm talking about the very basic elementary school-level American history stuff that makes up America and its Democracy.

I mean dude.... have you seen Jay Leno's "Jaywalking" segment? It's where he walks around and pick a random person to ask a basic history question. It's...... appalling. I'm a Korean immigrant who just recently became American citizen few years ago (but I lived here for over 25 years) and I know the American history better than probably 80% of Americans.

Here are some outrageous answers from his segment
1. Abraham Lincoln is American's first president
2. Some people thought we were at war with France (not Iraq)
3. Some people do not know how many stars we have on our American flag :roll:
4. Handful of them do not know what our American flag means (stars & stripes)
4. Handful of them did not know Al Gore was our VP
5. Handful of them were not able to identify the picture of politicians like Hillary Clinton

and..... Rush Limbaugh's fans are those type :roll:

please... if you're gonna proudly sing Star Spangle song and hang American flag at front of your house - please know a thing or two about it :roll:

Conservatism occurs on a continuum. Rush definately falls into the ultra end of the spectrum.

Don't get all defensive. No one is attacking you. Unless you are confused about where your identity ends and Rush's begins.

Yup, agreed and it is very little cute for someone to defend Rush. :lol:

Yes, you were clear. Just off track. Display of a flag doesn't necessarily equate to love of country. And love of country does not equate to knowledge of history.

Yep... then Quebec kicked your ass in War of 1812. ;) Kidding! I know 1812 is disputed upon; and is irrelevant to the founding of America.

There was a war in 1812??? :ugh2:

But yeah... Jiro was referring to those American citizens who only want to see one kind of government (all-conservative or all-liberal) and claim they're patriotic for not questioning their party platform.

Ah ok

I have an opinion and think for myself.

an opinion that you frequently backed it up with Limbaugh's view. Let's not forget how you jump in front of Rush when ADers started dissing him.

methinks Limbaugh thinks for you :hmm:
 
Rush isn't patriotic to America, IMO.

A conservative view, like all the others. Not just Rush. There are many other personalities I read and listen to.

well.... I wouldn't say that. I believe Rush is patriotic to America and he really cares about America.

but...... his view is extreme and misguided. the worst part is his spinning.

That's your opinion. He has donated millions to the Marine Corps-Law Enforcement Foundation. He's rather a patriotic and fun guy, imho. And has no desire to move out of the U.S.

but.... in my opinion, anyone who is extreme and misguided isn't patriotic to America. :D

Just thorough to say but oh well.

You missed "IMO" that I put at end of post.

IMO means in my opinion.

Don't care about donation but he got alot of support from right wing losers.
