Dissent is patriotic

By East of Eden

Filed Under Congress, Healthcare on Aug 5 

Sen Dick Drubin of Illionois shares with us his views on people who attend town hall meetings on healtcare reform.

First, I have to say, how arrogant to think that the people taking time to attend these meetings are insurance company shills.

Second, how arrogant of you, to think that because people are starting to disagree with you, Harry Reid, Nancy Pelosi and Barak Obama, they are some how less than genuine in their opinions. Newsflash: not everyone voted for your guy Barry, and not everyone is a believer in hope and change….and that’s ok.

Third, how sad that you dismiss people who take the time to call in and express their opioins on the telephone. Are they shilling for the insurance companies too?

Fourth, you do have an honest and fair way for opinons to be expressed when you hold these town halls. People come and tell you what they think. What do you expect? A donut social?

People like Dick Durbin, are the reason the system is broken and the reason the country is on the edge. It’s time you remember you do answer to regular people, some of which might disagree with you. When they do disgagree with you, don’t dismiss them, listen and learn. Dissent is patriotic, at least that’s what everyone kept saying when Bush was in office.

    C’mon! Dissent was only patriotic when they weren’t in office. Now everyone must fall in line.

    Either Durbin is smoking crack or he’s smoking crack. Tell me Dick, what poll says that the American people want this reform?

    To dismiss the voice of the people like this is so arrogant. An MSNBC correspondent (surprise, surprise) claimed that “the people don’t know what’s good for them.” Wow. Elitism? Do they really think the American people are that stupid?

    I had the same thought as Kristen. It wasn’t too long ago when the left claimed their patriotic duty was to voice their dissent.

      My inspiration, besides the doltish musings of Dick Durbin was this one car I see in the grocery store parking lot everytime I go there. “Dissent is Patrotic”. It’s not about the dissent, it’s about who is at the helm, apparenly raping and pillaging of the country is ok if it’s Barak Obama at the head.

      Oh, and we all need to report ourselves now for dissenting too…come on, it’s patriotic! :)

    I agree with everyone on this blog..get those **** out of office. Their kind is the reason this great country is on the brink. It is our duty as pure Americans to get these people out of our country..BY ANY MEANS NECESSARY!..Pretty soon they’ll try to shut down sites like this where all of us PURE Americans can gather and voice our opinion!!

    Durbin will be surprised when that dissent votes his butt out of office.
