Barack Obama didn't celebrate the 4th of July 2008

[fitz207]

Flag Pins? Can we get anymore shallow? The news media keeps dragging this crap out. John McCain's/Bush's policies are totally wrong for this country.

Look at the economy. There is no way in hell I could vote for another republican.

Democrats forever!

Some thoughts on patriotism http://www.counterpunch.org/blum07062008.html

great article, i especially liked these 2 quotes contained within it:

• I was once asked after a talk: "Do you love America?" I answered: "No". After pausing for a few seconds to let that sink in amidst several nervous giggles in the audience, I continued with: "I don't love any country. I'm a citizen of the world. I love certain principles, like human rights, civil liberties, democracy, an economy which puts people before profits."
  
  Alexis de Tocqueville, the mid-19th century French historian, commented about his long stay in the United States: "It is impossible to conceive a more troublesome or more garrulous patriotism; it wearies even those who are disposed to respect it."

Pretty sure in that picture it's the national anthem or star spangled banner playing, not the pledge of allegiance. Congratulations on being a tool who regurgitates 24 hour news spin though Inhouston.

Oh my God InHouston!! You've opened up my eyes. I had no idea. This guy was actually campaigning while the hero John McCain was celebrating the birth or our independence? The nerve of some people. To actually mention that it was his daughters birthday on such a day. He should be executed by firing squad for that abomination.

Plus in looking at the pictures you know he had to be dying inside with his daughters holding our flag that he hates...lol Serves him right playing with us pretending to love this country.

We know that he hates this country. The only thing I haven't been able to figure out at this point is why he's running for president. The only rational thing that I've come up with is that it's the ultimate inside-job. What better way for these Islamic extremist to get us other than have one of their own rise to the top of our ranks. That way he can give them all of our secrets so they can kill us all. I'm sure there are dozens of terrorist cells waiting for Obama (who's real name is Dwayne Carter) to get into office so he can give them the word to attack. People, listen to the Republicans. We cannot afford to let a terrorist leader into the white house. Not only will he give the word for the cells to strike but he also will make sure that the oil prices will go up because he and his "True" nation will benefit. Oh my God I'm terrified. Someone please get me some Republican judgment and protection so I can calm down!!

I just got my new flag pin today. Been wearing one everyday for the past 11 years. I can tell that you're the type like me that wears one faithfully. I look at my co-workers every day coming into work without theirs and it just makes me sick. It seems like nobody loves this country anymore.

Well I'll keep wearing mine and I know you'll be wearing yours and maybe the two of us together along with John McCain can restore this great nation to its prominence.

Long Live the Donkey!!

well said dafame.

Listen to yourself, InHouston. In November we all have to get together and pick a president. It is our patriotic duty to take our votes seriously and consider our individual choices with logic and clarity. You're urging us to decide on the basis of a flag pin, hand placement during the Pledge of Allegiance and whether or not he walked in a parade based on the advice of the Secret Service. You should be ashamed of yourself.

and you too trish, very valid point. why people try to obfuscate the real issues is obvious, they have little else to say.

InHouston here are a few pics and links for you:

so what is obama doing in these two pics, scratching his chest? reaching for a pen? possibly it is a code sign of the Illuminati...hmmm, suspicious behavior no doubt.





links that debunk most of what you are probably thinking:

what with all the problems we face in today's world, and the 2 choices that we are being fed, i'll take obama everytime.

and if you decide to go off on that bs about obama being a flip flopper, may i preempt you with this:

I would like to debate you on what our "patriotic" President has done for the nation he was put in charge of...

Two pieces of advice for you:

1. PLEEEEEASE don't mention the name of this pathetic, incompetent embicile that is called "President"!

2. Never argue with a fool, he'll first drag you down to the gutter then beat you there by experience.

Shit, Houston.

You must have the smallest microdick in all of Texas or something.

Republicans looking for all kinds of excuses...give it up y'all ain't got nothing. Mccain can't argue the issues, he is weak, u and i know it and this is a clear example of them being desperate.

Find ways to fix gas prices, the economy and the war in Iraq, instead of this other non-sense

out

Then I'd respectfully suggest to keep out of the Obama/McCain debate at this moment. Guide your hate toward something in your part of the world,
