1. Patriotism is the last refute of a scoundrel, guns are his tool or crutch

[Aristus]

2. Whoever originally said "Patriotism is the last refuge of scoundrels",

I think he was low-balling it. Sometimes, I think patriotism is the only refuge of scoundrels.

3. I see my typo now, i think I will leave it, gives a whole new meaning to the phrase

I was just on one of the rightwing boards, they call Obama the N word, refuse to acknowledge the overwhelming success he has had with the economy and jobs.

They want a war where they shoot and kill us.

they assure me they want that war and that they will win...

[Aristus]

4. Oh no they won't.

There are more of us than there are of them. Throughout history, right-wing extremist movements have been put down by people who care about their fellow human beings. No matter how violent they may have been, no matter how extreme, well-led, motivated, embedded in the fabric of society, etc. They have always been defeated by love and compassion.
