Since the 1960's, the left has always been vilified as "unAmerican", "unpatriotic" or "traitors". In fact, many times over the years we've heard them say,"America, Love it or Leave it." Well, the time is now to turn the tables! I am tired of those in the radical right who question our presidents citizenship and religion. We are now hearing rants of hate from preachers against our president. Radical parents are saying they do not want their children to hear the President of The United States at school! Can you imagine if those on the left had made these declarations about George W. Bush ? We would of been branded "unAmerican," and "traitors." Yes, many of us marched and yelled about the policies of President Bush, but only a few kooks would say "I hate Bush" or "I will not let my child hear and watch the president."
The radical right has gone over the deep end, and instead of being the "nice" or "passive" left we need to stand up and get angry about the lies, misinformation, and hate against our president. How do we do this? By calling it out for what it is! Governor Perry of Texas has been advocating succession- Is this patriotic? or pro-American? No, he is a traitor! and unpatriotic and we need to say that loud and clear!
Glenn Beck and Rush need to be called out. They are not pro-American and patriotic! Let's tell them to "Love America or leave it!" Our spokespeople and organizations of the middle and left must use these words loud and clear. The FOX network is not the all-American network, it needs to be branded as unpatriotic. Sean Hannity and the whole bunch need to be labeled as not the loyal opposition but as traitors to our country and our President!
Now, I know this diary is going to rile up the "kumbaya," crowd as too "aggressive" or not "polite" or we should reach out and talk with the right to "find common ground." We are way beyond that point people! Those who want to be "nice" leftys are laughed at and justifiably labeled as weak by the radical right. It is time to ACT UP!
FIGHT BACK!
