"Un-American Dissent; Where did it go?"

Nancy Pelosi and Steny Hoyer wrote an op-ed in USA Today titled "Un-American Dissent". Here's an excerpt if you don't want to read all of it:

These disruptions are occurring because opponents are afraid not just of differing views — but of the facts themselves. Drowning out opposing views is simply un-American. Drowning out the facts is how we failed at this task for decades.

Since when is it an "un-American" to attack pending public policy?

The words "American" and "dissent", should be synonymous and interchangeable. To be "American" is to "dissent" from the majority. It means having a natural inclination in being a stern skeptic of every memo and report that the Federal government proposes, and of every single policy the politician claims will benefit his or her constituents; every use of judicial, legislative and executive excercise is met with It means retaining a substantial degree of individual liberty, and adhering to moral virtue of responsibility to oneself, family and community. America was conceived in liberty, in dissent to lack of political representation, endless taxation, expropriatoin of land and home. The tyrannicalisms of British Crown and the inflation of the Royal Bank of England, were all foreign mishaps on the free peoples of the thirteen colonies.

America was the first legitimate experiment because for the first time, it was founded on the crux of a new principle: liberty. Liberty is the natural state of man to be free, dissenting from toxic ideas, and moving towards healthier ones. War, inflation, slavery, taxation, business cycles and regulation, are all products of the State, not of free people, free minds and free markets. Patriotism should be defined not as heraldry to the American government, but as a perpetual opposition to any variety of Statist expansion into the lives of free peoples. Government has not changed, but the people have. Where is the anti-war movement now? Where did it go? Did it pass underneath the phalanxes of "hope" and "change"? What is change? The voices of the fallen have been drowned out by the sheepish blabber of "hope" and "change".

It was not un-American to attack the prior executive administration and Congress, and it isn't un-American to attack this one. In fact, it would be un-American to abstain from doing so. When Nancy Pelosi and Steny Hoyer write that to dissent is "un-American", send them and the rest of the crony parasites leeching off the American people and on the payroll of the elitist corporofascist scumbags, to St. Petersburg, or San Francisco.

Stay free America, more than just the world is watching.
