This thread is the perfect example of partisan politics:
"You're a traitor because you disagree"
"No, you're a traitor because you disagree that I disagree"
Only traitors around here are those who are against people calling out their own government. Those are the worse kind.

both patriots and traitors
easy answer..they are obomaniacs!
I need to get a US flag lapel pin.
"obomaniacs"
Being against dubya, McFlop, and Repugs doesn't mean being maniacally pro-Obama.
At very least, Obama is ABM, anything but McSenile. Maybe even at very best, but that's still a great deal. ABM!
I really don't have real high hopes for Obama's effectivesness since he will be handed some horribly toxic poison pills by dubya.
That's sort of like complaining about a shoulder injury right before you start 18 holes of golf.
always on the side of the terrorists... posting trash from al-jazeera... have never said one positive thing about the u.s.a...
and you people vote them closer to being patriots??? reminds me nazi germany... you guys are blinded!
People voted. That would be closer to a democracy. Talk about blinded.
You paint with a broad brush <small minded of you> ; this thread was initiated by 1 person who's embroiled in an on-going war of words with another poster or two.
Nothing more, nothing less.
I don't see them as traitors; dan seems to be a big-time paronoia, and boutons is big-time hater of Bush and Co. Fair enough.
As for being Patriots? Here's the M-W definition;
Main Entry: pa·tri·ot
: one who loves his or her country and supports its authority and interests
dan voted himself into this category, and bouts recently said something along the lines of viewing America as an "exceptional Country". I appreciate dan putting himself into the Patriot category and bouton's description of the Country.
Its the current government that is bringing us closer to nazi germany, not the spurstalk.com political forum.
I think you lib s are getting it all wrong in defending Dan and Bouton's, well maybe not Dan in this case.
The question was "Are dan and boutons closer to being traitors or patriots?"
Key word... CLOSER!
Not if they are.
So ask yourself this. Do their words inspire those who would tend towards patriotism, or inspire those who tend towards treason.
I say the latter. You can argue all you want about it being patriotic to question the government, officials, etc. The manner in which it is done is what matters.
Bouton's in that regard is clearly closer to a traitor than a patriot. Traitors will rally around such words and a patriot despise him. I'd say Dan is about half way between. Hard to pinpoint which side he's closer to. The two clearly average out to being closer to a traitor than a patriot.
Both terms are too extreme for them. I don't see them as the reincarnation of Benedict Arnold, but otoh, they certainly don't conjure up images of Patrick Henry.
You may have garnered more support if the Poll had asked;
1. Do you look forward to reading what they have to say?
2. Do you often scroll through their posts, or not even bother to open a thread they have started.
Could have voted a #2 on that one.
Classic Stout!
