What do leftists do on memorial day?

Leftists hate America. We are told everyday how racist, transphobic, sexist, and rigged for white supremacy the USA is. They hate fly overs at games because it militarizes sports. They kneel during the national anthem at sporting events to protest the evils perpetuated by the USA. The flag is now a symbol to rally against. The USA is so bad Obama and Biden became POTUS with a message to Fundamentally Transform the USA from what it was to something better. They view the USA as colonizing empire. They want to defund the military. They view working people, and for sure the lowly enlisted ranks of the military, as subordinate to them - not as good as them. These are the soldiers, sailors, airmen, and marines that make up most of our fallen. Men charged Omaha Beach knowing full well they were likely to be shot and killed, but they went anyway. It is the values of these men, the greatest generation, that has been rejected by the left. Family, freedom, God, integrity, work ethic, commitment, and individual responsibility all rejected.
I ask, what do these leftists do during Memorial Day? Do they pretend to show some respect and appreciation for the people that died so they can whine? the people that died so they can sip a $6 latte in their Birkenstocks while pontificating on all their virtues?

I’m not sure what they do but this holiday is special to people who love this country , understand it’s the greatest country in world history, a land where anyone with ambition can succeed regardless of race or gender, and appreciate the sacrifices that have been made.
You mentioned the flag issues. Last week I attended the Clemson /UNC baseball game. Clemson players were standing still and respectful down the first baseline. UNC players stood with left arms behind the back , cap over heart with the right hand , perfectly still and in unity. 99% of the fans stood at attention, some even saluting the flag. It gave me renewed hope. There are enough America loving patriots left if we just speak up and do our duty.

I know most are. They just don’t understand what made America great and what it will take to keep it great. Most are just innocently naive. The leftist leadership is not naive. They want to “fundamentally change America” as Barry said.

Not much to LOL about.
America’s think-they-are-cool lefties just don’t understand how their comfortable lifestyles are dependent upon the skills and work ethos of those that they perceive to be their social inferiors.
Today’s lefties have never known a world in which they did not feel justified as being entitled to all of the material pleasures on earth.
Nor have today’s lefties ever known a world in which they feel shame for being angry about NOT having everything that THEY want, with that anger being directed towards those (in the lefties’ minds) social inferiors that just happen to have those things that the lefties ‘deserve’ … but don’t possess.
Memorial Day is to honor those people who gave up their lives so that every American … including the lefties … can enjoy the equal opportunities to which all Americans are blessed to freely pursue.
Today’s lefties will never know what hit them when ‘their side’ achieves full authoritarian power and then throws them away like a used diaper.
Take a minute to reflect on Memorial Day, and don’t be deceived by the superficial social benefits of becoming a lefty.

Here's Obama's full quote...

[ in reply to Re: Weird, it’s like lEfTiStS are Americans too.*** ] |

"Now, Mizzou, I just have two words for you tonight: five days. Five days. After decades of broken politics in Washington, and eight years of failed policies from George W. Bush, and 21 months of a campaign that's taken us from the rocky coast of Maine to the sunshine of California, we are five days away from fundamentally transforming the United States of America.
"In five days, you can turn the page on policies that put greed and irresponsibility on Wall Street before the hard work and sacrifice of folks on Main Street. In five days, you can choose policies that invest in our middle class, and create new jobs, and grow this economy, so that everyone has a chance to succeed, not just the CEO, but the secretary and janitor, not just the factory owner, but the men and women on the factory floor."
Based on the logic shown in this dumb thread, this is the part where I claim that since you present yourself as opposed to Obama's "fundamentally change America" stance, that means you are against rewarding the hard work and sacrifice of folks on Main Street. You are against the idea that everyone has a chance to succeed as long as they work hard and persevere. That you're against the American Dream. But I don't think you believe that, and I think deep down you guys don't really believe this nonsense about liberals/leftists/democrats that you are throwing out on the board and using a solemn holiday like Memorial Day to advance.

Obama gave great speeches, but his actions (via policies) were bad for America.
Green energy speech: Obama announced that America would be a center for the manufacturing of green energy equipment, which in turn would create good new jobs. The government would nurture along this nascent green energy industry via ‘assistance’ programs. Sounded great, huh? Those green energy manufacturing plants (& jobs) never materialized. Solyndra was the signature achievement of Obama’s green energy vision.
Responsible and effective foreign policy. No more of those G.W.Bush esque neocon wars. Dunno about you, but that sounded good to me. Actions … he got bin Laden(very good!). Other than that, he was a dismal failure re: Muslim Brotherhood rise to power in Egypt (thanks to diplomatic pressure from Obama); the rise of the ISIS “JV team”; the laissez faire approach to Russia (Obama rebuked Romney about Russia, chiding Romney that ‘the Cold War ended 20 years ago’) followed 2 years later by Putin invading Ukraine and seizing The Crimea. Yep, Obama gives good speech but is then useless.
Xxxxxxx
I have very liberal family members, dear friends, and highly valued work + ‘clients’ who are dear to me. I believe that I understand what drove them to embrace liberalism (since in most cases they told me why they took the left hand turn). Despite what you may perceive of me via TNet postings, neither my wife nor I ever attempt to either initiate or insert political topics into conversations. These liberals who are dear to me have either been told, or have figured out by the way in which my wife and I live, that I am a true ‘equal justice under the law’ conservative that considers merit as being the predominant factor in making a decision.
Despite numerous philosophy of life differences, I am happy that they get the extra vacation day. That my friend the philosophy professor shows the respect to display the American flag on both Memorial Day and Independence Day gives me hope that there are also other liberals out there who are not lost causes.
Have a good weekend.

So, he probably voted for Kennedy which is not exactly the same type of democrat we see today.
But, nevertheless, hats off to your uncle for risking his life on our behalf!

And I don't like it when people talk about political parties when it comes to people who have given their life for our great country. Lots of Dems and Pubs are in that category. They are all honored this weekend.

Did I get it correctly that your dad is still with us?
If so, then please let him know that some stranger on TNet wants to to convey his (my) deepest appreciation for his service.
Have a fine Memorial weekend.

Absolutely I do and the only reason I point out that probably 98%, or more, of combat deaths were white men is to stick in your face that it's white people that DIED to preserve the freedom of the world and these are the same white people you classify as white supremacists.
1000s of black veterans served with honor and they deserve the same respect as everyone else. Unfortunately for you bozos, you probably give them more respect and discount the others because of the color of their skin and the warped ideas you get from your phone.
More white people died to preserve your freedom since WWI than black slaves were brought to the USA. And, don't mistake my comparisons to be anti-black - it's anti-left. I'm sure you got enough "I found a bigot today" stickers for your car already.

Your information is false with respect to combat deaths since 1980, where blacks disproportionately died (17% of deaths but only 12% of the population).

They drive around in their Subarus sipping their $10 coffees and organic kombucha juice listening to npr and wishing that Biden would name Bernie Sanders as his running mate all the while oblivious to the the fact that millions of Americans gave their life to defend the country they are dead set destroying by putting its citizens interests behind other nations
Or something like that…

I'll think about the values that make the country great. Our freedoms, our privilege to be here. I'll also think about how we should be vigilant to defend those rights for everyone.
While Tnet crazies like the original poster and other right-wingers will worry more about symbols that - the flag, the anthem, and beer cans.
Is there anyone more rage-filled than the original poster?
