Java was sorta disappointed that there were no responses from those ‘patriotic’ bloggers to our most recent post on trying to get a patriotic point of view and wondered if they hadn’t seen or read the post or, if they had, whether they were in a quandary with regard to how to react. For sure none of them are reticent to air their views on their own blogs on how they react to views that oppose establishment policies, but as there was no attempt to answer any of the questions posed in the post referred to above, we took it to mean (in the event they had read the post) that they are just too chickenshit to cop to their true views. And if that were to be the case, then could it be possible that these folk are a bunch of cowardly ‘patriot-imposters’ who are afraid to commit themselves for fear of exposure of their true nature?
We’re sure that most the kottu regulars know who these ‘patriotic’ bloggers are, so there you are – like the man said “what you see is what you get”. So in future, pay no heed to the meaningless platitudes and tiresome claptrap put out by these ‘patriots’, it is painfully obvious where they are at.

A patriotic blogger
You are sad. You’ve had to stoop to this level of begging for comments. Oh please.. come on Java, you can do better nah?

APB – never sad man – just disappointed that there were no responses from any so-called patriots. How about you? How do you respond to the questions?
And I ain’t begging…

tbh, I never expected them to respond… I mean, how can they possibly justify their views on how a patriot turned traitor overnight, just because of his political leanings? 😉

Chavie – I didn’t either – it was to test the levels of their hypocrisy! And you can see from the response from ‘APB’ (above) that their views are unlikely to be ‘exposed’…
What does tbh mean???

Frak! I was really looking forward to the potential “patriotic” comments to this post. Kept checking back every hour or so… but what a disappointing performance by the guardian of patriotism.

Sean – like we said ‘what you see is what you get’… you know what Samuel Johnson said about ‘patriotism being the last refuge…’ right?
Right!

yawn.
no wonder nobody but your ‘friends’ notice and read your blog nowadays .
—
first , since i hardly ever use the word ‘patriot’ to argue my case one way or other, i hope i am not what you call a ‘patriot blogger’? do enlighten me if i am wrong!
===
i am posting this comment on both “Trying to get a ‘patriotic’ point of view…”on 11/30/09 and “Chickenshit” on12/03/09 since it covers both
—
maybe you are the one chickening out in not naming who you mean by ‘”patriot” bloggers’,
bc your implication that they are,
1/ covering up wrong doings of government under the cover of ‘patriotism’
2/ attacking ppl as ‘unpatriotic’ just bc those so attacked are merely opponents of government ,
would have required you to say where and when they have done that .
and it seems you can’t name and point for some reason. ( perhaps no blogger has done what you say/imply they did ? )
so you take cover behind generalities without names
am i wrong ? 🙂
–
after all, if you imply that someone did something , and you don’t name him/her or point to evidence of their doing it, and ask those unnamed ppl to comment about actions they perhaps did not commit, they won’t comment. .
in that case you are the ‘chickenshit ‘
🙂
–
i believe it is not only cowardly but hypocritical to not to name ppl when attacking them, and dishonest not to point to evidence,
(btw i for one always do name names and point to evidence.)
–
so you should name and point , these ‘”patriot” bloggers’ ( and your reasons why you include them under that category, with quotes and links backing those reasons ) + where their covered up for government’s wrong doings etc ( again with links and quotes) under ‘patriotism’ or attacked ppl as ‘unpatriotic’ merely for being opponents of government .
after all, if “most the kottu regulars know who these ‘patriotic’ bloggers are” that should not be hard thing for you to do
–
otherwise you deserve a name that implies cowardice, hypocrisy, and dishonesty, together.
since your english is better than mine, please let me know a word that cover all three, if you reply without naming and pointing with links and quotes .
🙂

btw i for one have not seen any regular blogger in kottu feed ,
1/ covering up wrong doings of government under the cover of ‘patriotism’
2/ attacking ppl as ‘unpatriotic’ just bc those so attacked are merely opponents of government ,
so would be glad to see your links and quotes from named bloggers doing those two things.

Sittingnut – My response to yours on ‘Trying to get a patriotic point of view” was posted in that one and went as follows: Oh dear! Another convoluted diatribe from you, when all it would have taken was to answer the questions posed above “..if you are a patriot”, and then the final one at the end of the post – “if you disagree with the GOSL’s present policies would that make you ‘unpatriotic’ or a ‘traitor’?”
All I’m trying to get is “a patriotic point of view”, so take it from there if the cap fits.
And with regard to your ‘challenge’ in your response to ‘Chickenshit’, all I can say is “if the cap fits…”. Your righteous indignation does smack of a ‘defensive’ mindset, but if you are not a ‘patriotic blogger’, no need to get all bent out of shape and pissed off. Just leave the patriotic bloggers to respond – as many of them already have – if you noticed the comments to the posts.

oh boy dishonest, chickenshit , hypocrite java jones tries to evade yet again, so very true to form
–
he was asked to provide links and quotes to any regular blogger in kottu feed who
1/ cover up wrong doings of government under the cover of ‘patriotism’
2/ attack ppl as ‘unpatriotic’ just bc those so attacked are merely opponents of government ,
as he implies unnamed (what he calls) “patriotic bloggers ‘, do.
instead he runs away like a filthy bitch from a raised stick
lol
if you are unable to name ppl you are attacking, you are indeed chickenshit
if you can’t point to their posts and quote them saying what you imply they said, you are a hypocrite and a liar
–
all he bring out –
“if the cap fits” argument . lol
in other words he implies that i put myself in that category of bloggers he attacks (so far without names or support ) merely bc i asked him to name names and point to evidence. fact that i never did any of what he says and hardly ever use the word “patriot” in any context doesn’t matter .
ask him questions, i am guilty .
logic of a chikenshit hypocrite indeed
–
btw i will keep on asking questions from cowards like you to expose their dishonesty and hypocrisy . i enjoy that.
so do post more
nothing like seeing a filthy bitch running away

Sittingnut – Your hysterical reply speaks volumes regarding your character, so I don’t need to dignify them with a response, as I’m sure that any readers who may have followed this can make up their own minds about my post and your response. One thing I will say is that I have neither the time nor the inclination to research past posts of other bloggers to provide you the negative energy you thrive on or for any other reason. You are welcome to your opinion.
By the way you still haven’t answered any of the questions in the post, which was all that was needed.
And please note that any further abusive responses by you will be ignored, as I just don’t have the time to deal with nut-cases going off the deep end.

lol
chickenshit bitch java jones cannot provide what i asked for (in original comment which was very civil to him), which are ,
links and quotes to any regular blogger in kottu feed who
1/ cover up wrong doings of government under the cover of ‘patriotism’
2/ attack ppl as ‘unpatriotic’ just bc those so attacked are merely opponents of government ,
as he implies unnamed (what he calls) “patriotic bloggers ‘, do.
–
and now he objects to my describing him according to dictionary definitions; cowardly , dishonest, hypocrite, a filthy chikenshit bitch .
lol

Java – You inspired me to think about things. I’ve been thinking about this idea of patriotism ever since I read your first post.

Electra – I read it just before seeing your (this) comment and am glad to hear how it was catalyzed. I also saw the comment from your most ardent ‘follower’ – more bullshit from the master of convolution, hate-commentary and pretentious pap. Needless to say I agreed with the sentiments you expressed in the post. Nice one!
