Is a True Patriot

One who agrees with everything the President does and says, whoever he or she may be, or questions everything they do or say?
I agree with what Trump said when he talked about the lives and trillions of dollars wasted on a failed foreign policy that has accomplished nothing.
But I cannot say that I agree with the latest foreign policy decisions because I don't know enough to make a judgement. None of us really know if it was a good move or not. The current administration just says, trust us, it was the right thing to do. If it means saving blood and treasure, and getting out of the quagmire of the ME faster, than it's a good move.
What I don't understand is this cult of personality many on this board have with Trump. It's like he can say or do no wrong. And anyone who disagrees with him, on anything, is wrong and an idiot.
This absolutism lacks any real critical thinking. It is that of a sheep, and is no better then those on the "other side" of the political spectrum.

A man who is responsible for hundreds of dead servicemen and destabilizing the region is dead and was in charge of the worlds biggest terrorist organization. That’s a net plus for humanity.

Well, I trust Trump more than any other administration so as long as Trump says trust them I will.

Trump could walk out on the debate stage buck necked and still be preferable to the lunacy that is common in that bunch.

All you need to know is +90% of the DimMedia and nearly all the Dim members of Congress are on the record being against Trump taking out Big Salami. I think I’m going to side with the POTUS on this strategic terrorist mitigation decision.

I can't agree more with this statement.

Actually...Trump is criticized for any and everything he does or says. People here recognize that Trump is in it for the people. It is those that refuse to see reality beyond what the MSM propaganda machine constantly spews. Trump isn't perfect...he makes mistakes....but he does what he says...and he is on the side of America. I think you have it backwards....

I don't like anyone of the Dems, or the MSM, I do think Trump is the best out of all the current candidates. But, c'mon people, it's sad that this country, with all it's engineers, scientists, etc, that a better stock of candidate cannot be produced. To me it's an indication of a truly flawed, corrupt, and chewed up political system that the US government has morphed into. And it sure as hell didn't happen overnight.
I just observe this blind Faith for the man and wonder about it.

Do you get bothered by the blind hatred of the MSM and Lefties? Their incessant criticism and refusal to give him credit for anything?
Posted on 1/6/20 at 8:06 pm to Friedbrie
What policies would a "better candidate" support?
Posted on 1/6/20 at 8:08 pm to Friedbrie
Constitutional fealty. It's as simple as that. Constitution over government, party, or anything else past family.

Were you this concerned about the Obama cult we had to live with for 8 years? Both sides do it, politics is a team sport like it or not

That is intellectually honest. Thank you. I DO agree with it, just for the record and in the interest of civil discourse. I have traveled all over this world, both as an Army Officer and post Army, as a person working for private and government interests, including the Middle East. Also, just to qualify, I was a Poli-Sci major (undergrad) at LSU under Doctor Wayne Parent, and specialized (aging myself) in Soviet Foreign Policy.

President Trump, as profane and vulgar as he can be sometimes, is as transparent and honest as they come. He actually hides very little. The "cult of personality" as you say, is because he has built himself into a Billionaire magnate who still can resonate with the blue collar middle class hard working Americans. Also, people who have discounted his intelligence and ability for strategic thinking have been proven wrong on nearly every occasion thus far.

I could not disagree with you more, respectfully. This "absolutism," as you say, on this board and across MOST of this country outside of the coastal enclaves of large city liberal cult-like group think, is merely reactionary counter punches and disgust at the daily myriad attacks that the President endures every single moment by the deeply entrenched "establishment," which mainly includes much of the main stream media parroting word for word the same centralized talking points all the time. I honestly see the democrat opposition as contrarian obstructionists, and nearly traitorous in their disgusting behavior towards OUR (that includes YOUR) President. Try to be a little more objective maybe. This President is doing a fantastic job, from the economy, foreign policy and national security perspective.
The only "sheep" are the sheep who hate their President, and REFUSE to recognize all of the great things he has accomplished. He has erased a horrible 8 year legacy of decline, self loathing, appeasement to enemies and despair by his predecessor. Try to be a bit more objective.
