Remember When…

…dissent was the highest form of patriotism?

Either does Massachusetts governor Deval Patrick, who compares the opposition he receives as head of a lobotomized blue state with what happens in Washington:

“It seems like child’s play compared to what is going on in Washington, where it is almost at the level of sedition, it feels to like me,” Patrick said.

Merriam-Webster.com, the dictionary site, defines sedition as “incitement of resistance to or insurrection against lawful authority.”

But for goodness’ sake, don’t question his patriotism!

After the forum, Patrick explained his remarks.

“I think that the number of people in the Grand Old Party who seem to be absolutely committed to saying ‘no,’ whenever he says ‘yes,’ no matter what it is, even if it’s an idea that they came up with, is just extraordinary,” the governor told reporters after the forum.

If everything he says and does wrong (and everything he takes from us is used to soften things up for something equally loathsome), then why should we say “yes”?  For the sake of Deval Patrick?

But did the opposition really border on sedition?

“That was a rhetorical flourish,” Patrick said.

Deval Patrick’s mother swims after troop ships.

That’s a rhetorical flourish.

  1. I guess Clown makes a fair comparison inasmuch as neither Patrick nor Coulter can govern their tongues. I might suggest the words of a sitting governor have a little more import than the words of a political commentator, though.

    You expect discernment from a guy whose definition of gun rights is not taxing the toy weapons which shoot out a flag that says “bang”?

  3. You mention a mother swimming after troop ships and up pops AssClown after an extended absence.

    Coincidence? I think not.

    Expect this forced recollection of his twisted upbringing to elicit a weeks worth of mindless drivel from AC as he battles his childhood demons.

  4. I’m curious what Deval Patrick believes are “idea that they came up with” that Obama is supporting and GOPers are saying No! too…

    My guess is he’s talking stimulus and tarp things started by Bush.
