They want to “own” patriotism: I am reclaiming and redefining it. They want to “own” our country: I will not allow them to do so. They want to be able to claim that liberals and progressive are not “real Americans,” I’m not going to let them make that claim. They want to be able to say that liberals and progressives do not love this country: I am going to prove every day that I do love this country, and that is why I am fighting and standing up for liberty and Justice FOR ALL. All means all. [/quote]

You are probably one of those who flies a U.S. flag right out in front of your house, aren’t you.[/quote]

I own a flag, and yes, we sometimes display it outside. It was draped on my grandfather’s coffin, I’m proud of his service, and I am not ashamed of owning a flag. I guess you can say I am “one of those” who votes Democrat, marches for Black Lives Matter and for Pride, and loves this country and works to make it a better place by taking actual action and doesn’t just shoot my mouth off on DCUM. Yeah, I guess you could call me one of those. And I guess I’m also one of those who doesn’t give a fig what you think or say about me. [/quote]

PP, I am standing right there beside you, arm in arm.  Well said!    Happy 4th of July![/quote]

Coming east on Rt. 66 from Loudoun Parkway,  I noticed that American flags were hung on the overpasses until the road reached Arlington.  Ukranian flags  were hung on the Arlington  overpasses.  Yesterday, my kids and I bought American flags  and hung them from all of the Arlington overpasses. [/quote]

Love this!  Proudly displaying American flags as well. Wish everyone understood the SC decision returned a healthcare issue back to states purview vs outlawing abortion but unfortunately when folks rely on mainstream media versus constitutional analysis…..[/quote]

But sweetie the states are outlawing it. Even in cases of rape and incest. The states that are now free to Gerrymander as much as they want due to a previous SC ruling. But go off and tell me I don't know what I'm talking about.[/quote]

People like the PP don’t care about this stuff. That embryo matters way more to them than the raped 4th grader who will be forced to carry it to term.[/quote]

I sort of care about it, but honestly

- I don’t need access to abortion.  I never will.  So not a big deal to me, personally.[/quote]

Hey, great. And I’ll never get prostate cancer, but I still think people who do should have access to healthcare. I’m able to feel empathy for them because I’m not a sociopath.

People who see a little kid who’s been raped and will be forced to give birth, and just shrug their shoulders, are f-ing sick.[/quote]

DP. Just curious, what are you doing about it exactly?  Elections have consequences. I can’t go back and convince everyone who wouldn’t vote for Clinton that their votes would have extreme consequences for women’s rights, I can’t convince Ginsberg to step down under Obama, I can’t convince the idiots in Missouri to vote for democrats.

So what exactly are you doing today to change things? Not going to a BBQ on the 4th of July doesn’t seem profound to me. [/quote]

What am I doing today? Well, right now I’m having coffee and reminding people on DCUM that the people who are fine with forcing a raped 10-year-old to give birth are truly sick mf-ers. Then I’ll probably have some breakfast, and start researching which organizations I’ll donate to that can help provide access to abortions for the most vulnerable girls and women in the states where it’s being restricted. And tomorrow I’ll be grilling out and taking my kids to see the fireworks.

What will you be doing to help?[/quote]

So if you are doing a whole lot of nothing (sorry rambling on dcum doesn’t count), why are you chastising others for the same?  You are also shrugging your shoulders and giving up. So I guess you are also “f-ing sick” by your standards. [/quote]

Yeah, so touched a nerve I guess? Presumably you’re one of the people who think it’s fine to force a child to give birth.

How about this: why don’t you outline exactly what the individuals on this thread could and should be doing to help. Give us explicit instructions. Thanks![/quote]

Ugh you people are so stupid. This thread is about cancelling 4th of July plans. Which has no demonstrable impact on Supreme Court decisions.  Not what you can do to fight for abortion rights. Get over yourself. You are doing absolutely nothing. [/quote]

Are you the PP who was demanding to know what people are doing today to protect abortion rights?[/quote]
