Hillary: 'I am Sick and Tired' of Patriotic Critics

New York Sen. Hillary Clinton opened up both barrels on supporters of President Bush Monday night, saying she's "sick and tired" of the way the patriotism of Bush's critics has been questioned.

"I am sick and tired of people who say that if you debate and you disagree with this administration somehow you're not patriotic," a shrill-sounding Clinton shouted during her address to Connecticut's Jefferson Jackson Bailey dinner.

"We should stand up and say we are Americans and we have a right to debate and disagree with any administration," she shrieked.

The non-presidential candidate, who's miles ahead of every other Democratic presidential hopeful in every poll that includes her name, zeroed in on the economy, saying that Bush had given the nation the worst economic policies since the Great Depression.

"In just two years, the country again faces hefty budget deficits," she said. "We are, unfortunately, reaping the bad consequences of a wrong economic policy. They have the most wrong-headed economic policies that we've seen since Herbert Hoover."

In an attempt to explain why the country wasn't saddled with the bread lines and street-corner apple salesmen of the Hoover era, Clinton said, "People know better than what they hear and what they see

all that's missing is the pounding on the podium!

Haven't seen or heard her speak. Does she use those grand, theatrical arm gestures like her speech coach, Reichs Chancellor Hitler? It would be amusing to see her try.

Hannity has been replaying a portion of Hillary's spewl on his radio show.

Her spewl reminds me of the speech Ted Kennedy made when B Clinton was seeking re-election and Kennedy's voice faded into some indecipherable muddle--"...as we reelect the unn??electable ?????? ?????? ??????"

[Rush frequently replays that portion of the Kennedy speech for kicks and giggles.]

Rather than complaining about being labeled unpatriotic, liberals should evince some intellectual curiousity as to why they are earning such criticism. First, they need to jettison that adage: dissent is patriotism. That equation is simplistic and incomplete. To be patriotic is to serve the interests of your country and countrymen - one aspect (amongst many) of this is to ask questions. It does not mean making snide remarks calling into question the motives of your country to score points with international audiences. Critics have a burden of offering reasoned opinion not anti-american demagougery, especially when we are at war. In the same sense that there are Americans to whom America is never wrong, there are countless liberals to whom America is never right. These people are labeled unpatriotic, and rightly so. Further, liberals need to understand that "responsibility" is the other side of the same coin of patriotism. Liberals talk endlessly about their entitlements as citizens (ie: freedom of speech) but little about the responsibilities that go along with it. Yes, it's your right to make ill-informed, highly politicized remarks attacking our commander-in-chief during war. Such remarks are putting party over country, they are not constructive criticism. And when liberals ignore the responsibility that is tied to freedom, they warrant being called unpatriotic.

I heard the clips and I am shocked at how desperate and shrill Hillary sounds in these clips. She sounds just horrible - she could have made her case a lot better if she toned down the hysterics. She didn't.

There's a major catfight going on over at 'the other site' on this topic. The title is, oddly enough:

I wonder if her airbrusher for her book's cover-photo is getting a percentage of the book sales?

Someone who is qualified really should attempt a psychological profile via an analysis of Hillary's handwriting.

It was Bill and Hillary Clinton during their first Democrat joint nomination convention who said they were sick and tired of "family values." Something like that, I don't have the exact text, but somebody might remember.

"I am sick and tired of people who say that if you debate and you disagree with this administration somehow you're not patriotic,"

I have a neighbor who started flying the American Flag during GWI. She quit flying it, after OKC, during the Clinton administration, because she was afraid she would bcome a target of investigation. She's about as middle of the road and mainstream as one can get, and not a right wing or left wing loonie of any type. I don't see where Hillary has any right to complain about just having her patriotism questioned.

I have no problems with debating ideas with the leftists.
The problem is they don't want to debate but dictated their view point and not listen to a counter opinion.
