Hussein ‘Talks’ Patriotism … But Doesn’t Practice It
I really am beyond making fun of this bullshit …
I am down right sick and tired of it.
One of Hussein’s supporters, handlers, butt-kissers goes out and says something nasty about someone or something or Sen. McCain … We get a quick, “Oh, that wasn’t very nice to say” from his camp, and then they throw the fucking bus into reverse and carry on as IF McCain or the GOP has said this shit about him (Hussein)! What the fucking hell?!?! No! No! No!!!
The truth is, John McCain and his people have been extremely careful and non-confrontational with this petty shit. The whole ‘race’ thing is constantly brought up by the Obambamites … NOT McCain or the GOP. And I have REALLY yet to hear McCain running on his “war record/service” … the way John Kerry did.
The Hussein machine is trying it’s damnedest to bait McCain into getting mad and nasty … Just defending himself is seen as an attack on the bastard Hussein.
Anyhow, I have heard all day, as I am sure you have, Hussein’s ‘defining’ of Patriotism … How nice we have this man to define racism, religion, the Bible, and now Patriotism to us lowly folks … But actually READING the shit this guy says, in words, really shows how fake and opportunistic he is. What a shit-shoveller (sp???)!
BTW, I find it hard to believe his mother actually read the first lines of the Declaration of Independence to him while living abroad … More likely she read cover to cover The Communist Manifesto to him.

Sen. Barack Obama provided his definition of patriotism today, while also seeking to inoculate himself from Republican attacks regarding his lack of military service, complex biography and past incidents that have generated questions about his national devotion.
“It’s worth considering the meaning of patriotism because the question of who is - or is not - a patriot all too often poisons our political debates, in ways that divide us rather than bringing us together,” Obama said in a speech at the Truman Memorial Building in Independence, Mo.
“Throughout my life, I have always taken my deep and abiding love for this country as a given. It was how I was raised; it is what propelled me into public service; it is why I am running for President,” he said. “Yet, at certain times over the last 16 months, I have found, for the first time, my patriotism challenged - at times as a result of my own carelessness, more often as a result of the desire by some to score political points and raise fears and doubts about who I am and what I stand for.”
It was a topic explored in a story in Monday’s Tribune, setting up a week where Obama is expected to continue on a theme of patriotism in advance of Friday’s 4th of July holiday.
As part of his speech, Obama pledged to “never question the patriotism of others in this campaign” and that he will “not stand idly by when I hear others question mine.”
The Illinois Democrat then offered several of his life experiences that he said defined feelings of patriotism for him.
“One of my earliest memories is of sitting on my grandfather’s shoulders and watching the astronauts come to shore in Hawaii. I remember the cheers and small flags that people waved, and my grandfather explaining how we Americans could do anything we set our minds to do. That’s my idea of America,” he said.
“I remember listening to my grandmother telling stories about her work on a bomber assembly-line during World War II. I remember my grandfather handing me his dog tags from his time in Patton’s Army, and understanding that his defense of this country marked one of his greatest sources of pride. That’s my idea of America,” he said.
“I remember, when living for four years in Indonesia as a child, I listened to my mother reading me the first lines of the Declaration of Independence - “We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal. That they’re endowed by their creator with certain unalienable rights, among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness.” I remember her explaining how this declaration applied to every American, black and white and brown alike; how those words, and words of the United States Constitution, protected us from the injustices that we witnessed other people suffering during those years abroad. That’s my idea of America,” he said.
As he grew older, Obama said he gain a greater awareness for the “nation’s imperfections,” but that he came to believe that what makes the nation remarkable is its belief that it can constantly be made better.
“For a young man like me of mixed race, without firm anchor in any particular community, without even a father’s steadying hand, it is this essential American idea - that we are not constrained by the accident of birth but can make of our lives what we will - that has defined my life, just as it has defined the life of so many other Americans,” he said.
Obama cited Mark Twain, a “proud son of Missouri,” in making his point that challenging the government can be an act of devotion to the country. “Patriotism is supporting your country all the time, and your government when it deserves it,” he said, quoting the writer.
“The young preacher from Georgia, Martin Luther King, Jr., who led a movement to help America confront our tragic history of racial injustice and live up to the meaning of our creed - he was a patriot,” Obama said. “The young soldier who first spoke about the prisoner abuse at Abu Ghraib - he is a patriot.”
Obama also called for greater public service as a mark of patriotism, something he said has been a failure of the current administration.
“For the rest of us - for those of us not in uniform or without loved ones in the military - the call to sacrifice for the country’s greater good remains an imperative of citizenship,” he said. “Sadly, in recent years, in the midst of war on two fronts, this call to service never came. After 9/11, we were asked to shop. The wealthiest among us saw their tax obligations decline…even as the costs of war continued to mount. Rather than work together to reduce our dependence on foreign oil, and thereby lessen our vulnerability to a volatile region, our energy policy remained unchanged, and our oil dependence only grew.”
Ultimately, though, Obama said patriotism must come from the heart.
“We must remember, though, that true patriotism cannot be forced or legislated with a mere set of government programs,” he said. “Instead, it must reside in the hearts of our people, and cultivated in the heart of our culture, and nurtured in the hearts of our children.”

Works for me. Or maybe I’m the only one getting the ‘error’ on the vid … My computer has been dicking with me all day.

June 30th, 2008 at 8:50 pmI caught a bit of Rush’s show…a quote…
“…Let’s be honest, folks. Patriotism is equated with supporting the military when the US is at war. Which political party the last three years has done its best to secure defeat of its country and the US military at war? Democrat Party. One party has a track record that deserves to be examined when it comes to patriotism, and they know it.”

Drillanwr, Your computer problem is probably due to an Obamadevotee who has taken offense to your posts about the messiah. Its the vast left wing conspiracy that no one talks about.
June 30th, 2008 at 8:59 pm“Throughout my life, I have always taken my deep and abiding love for this country as a given.”
Hussein, do you honesty think that America has forgotten the phrases “God damn America” and “U.S. of KKK-A” that your pastor polluted your mind with for 20+ years? You have never had a deep and abiding love for this country. You only have a deep and abiding love for power, and will clearly say anything to obtain it. You have no integrity, no shame, and no respect for our way of life. Fuck off hussein.
June 30th, 2008 at 9:07 pmHe’s trying to redefine patriotism, because that is one of McCain’s slam dunk advantages.
I’m seriously pissed off with the DNC, but the Hussein clique, in particular. They are in my estimation, serving all interests but those the United States. Fuck all of them.
June 30th, 2008 at 9:15 pm“As he grew older, Obama said he gain a greater awareness for the “nation’s imperfections,” but that he came to believe that what makes the nation remarkable is its belief that it can constantly be made better.”
This is lib-speak for “America sucks now, but we, with our supreme intelligence, cultural awareness and civility will make it better.”
Liberals like the Obamination are patriotic about what they think they can make America, not about what it is now, or what it is under a Republican president. They are patriotic on their terms, not on the terms that most normal Americans understand as patriotic.
This was well-illustrated by the Obaminatrix, when she said that she was only proud of America once her great husband might be at the helm.
Patriotism does come from the heart - not some idealist mentality in your head about what you can make the country when you are in charge.
Whenever these scum talk about patriotism, understand that it has nothing to do with what we understand as patriotism.

It’s updated once or twice per day, depending on whether or not hackers are probing the the software and or how many times.

June 30th, 2008 at 11:27 pmThere’s no way I would accept Barry Dunham’s definition of patriotism, even with the endearing metaphors of the typical white people in his life. Coming from him it’s all just words.

Are you freaking kidding me?!?!?! This coming from the Party (da comrade, the people’s democratic party) that is so in the pocket of radical environmentalist groups that we can’t even use the resources that our country owns!!!
Oh, silly me, he MUST be referring to Alternative Energy. Of course let’s not admit to the fact in order to produce an equivalent amount of energy from an alternative source, you are leaving a LARGER carbon footprint!
What a freaking tool. I have to stop now before I get much more riled up.
July 1st, 2008 at 3:08 amthats why we have the second amendment..when the idiots are out of control, we have the right to take America back
July 1st, 2008 at 3:24 amNobama is no patriot. This guy is an empty suit…just words…just speeches…empty rhetoric from a the mouth of an empty soul. His word on anything isn’t worth a bucket of stale piss.
July 1st, 2008 at 3:41 amThoughts from afar: the obamamessiah has the MSM is his hand as they WANT a left wing president who will “negotiate” with the terrorists and dictators of the ME and beyond” with no preconditions” ie: talks to the Iranian mullahs,no preconditions, would say ‘ you guys are a bunch of C**ts but we need your oil: what can we do to help you’.Thats not the way the US of A should negotiate. Dont ever give in, dont threaten, just beat the shit out of them when they transgress.They have transgressed plenty. What are you,collectivly waiting for?A president with balls who is not afraid of saying’the islamists are the threat to the world today’ instrad of the platitude of “islam is the religion of peace” Puke, The peace is the peace of the grave.
July 1st, 2008 at 4:19 amWhat we have here is the Obama: doyen of the Left wing
doyen of the communist academia(last stronghold)
doyen of the peace at any cost crowd.(appeasers)
doyen of the anti US crowd.\
I cannot believe how many US citizens are so anti US.
I also believe that there are are millions of people across the globe who believe in the US and what it REALLY stands for. These are perhaps the real patriots.They want, nay, need the freedoms that the US confers apon its citizens without restrictions.
Sadly not many countries rise to this lofty Ideal.
By the way: the Obama has at least really good speechwriters: the lofty ideals, the retoric, buzz words, cliches are tailor made to impress, specially the misinformed and the ‘really dont wanna know crowd.’
From where I stand in down under Aussie, knowing Americans first hand from visits and from websites like these I cannot see that the wool has been completely pulled over the collective american public(and patriotic) eyes. If you cannot see a marxist and a bully to go with it look o :roll:ut!
BHO is a creation of the extreme LEFT. He is total BS and is being pushed hugely by the MSM. I pray he loses 49 states to 1.
July 1st, 2008 at 5:34 amPractice what you Preach! Thats what my Father use to say to me. Now you have certain politicians who forgot to “Led by Example” and now do “Do as I say, not what I do!”
