British army officers are told soldiers calling themselves 'patriots' could be extremist

The beginning of the death of civic pride.

Liberalism is a mental disorder. No doubt about it.

I'm a patriot. I believe, despite her flaws, Canada is the greatest nation. We've gone astray a bit, but seriously, we're a great nation.

I'll probably draw the ire of the resident snowflake patrol, but I don't really care.

You must be a dangerous right wing extremist if you love your country.

Maybe if I wasn't so lazy. I'm pretty extreme from my couch.

Lucky you!

Wow right wing spin machine is set to High today.

Conservatives want you to believe this guide is telling officers anyone who considers themselves a patriot is XRW.

But clearly even a passing reading shows that’s not what it say.

The Daily Fail doing its usual tabloid garbage

If you check the image in the article you'll see that the article is quite accurate.

I politely, yet firmly, disagree entirely. What we've become isn't all that good, and it only happened thanks to the luxury of being protected by the nuclear umbrella of the United States for over sixty years. IMO most of Canada's "greatness" is an illusion. This is one of the most lop-sided and two-faced countries on the entire planet.

FFS

It doesn’t say ANYONE who has EVEN ONE of the symptoms like considering themselves a patriot is automatically XRW.

Headaches is a commonly published symptom of HIV that doesn’t mean doctors are saying anyone with a headache has HIV. But if you have constant headaches and and a dozen other symptoms on the HIV list then maybe you do have it.

Lots of people might say they consider themselves a patriot if asked directly, but XRW are obsessed with the idea that they are patriots and everyone else is a traitor and they use those terms constantly in everything they say and do.

Do you understand now?

Can't fault the guy for loving his country and I can't fault you for having a stark grasp of the way it is.

IMHO you are both right.

Actually, that's what it says.



Just of those qualifications is then enough to get a troop labeled as Extreme Right Wing.

What's ironic is that many of those qualifications will apply to a large number of active duty Muslims.

Being a realist with a natural inclination to see through the lies and not fall for the bullshit, no matter which side the crap is coming from, isn't a lot of fun to endure every day. It's not something that makes someone happy, seeing what a total crock things really are. I'll steal this one from the wretched MRA idiots (that they stole anyway from The Matrix movies), just to piss them off - I'd much rather take the blue pill and be stupidly and blissfully happy than ever have taken the red one that made me see how things really are. It's, like, pure misery knowing all this shit, man.
