How DARE Rumsfeld try to define "patriotism"!
The human slime uses the somber occasion to play politics and continue to push his war.

:grr: :mad:

There are a few choice words I'D like to use right now, but I'll bite my tongue.

1. Rumslime
He is not a patriot, he is a poor excuse of a human. A Chickenhawk is his name.

2. Shameful
Yep, a patriot is a person who's willing to die for his or her country. That's what I got out of it (besides "patriot patriot patriot patriot patriot patriot patriot patriot patriot patriot patriot patriot patriot patriot patriot patriot patriot patriot patriot patriot patriot patriot patriot patriot patriot patriot patriot patriot patriot patriot ...."). Notice who didn't give this speech and where it wasn't given. And how no one outside the administration ever calls it Patriot Day.

3. Patriotism does not involve death
My dictionary defines patriot as "one who loves his or her country and supports its authority and interests." By that definition, it's impossible to be a patriot in 2003.

4. Rum's form of patriotism
Is the favored currency of withered oligarchs everywhere.
