And I’m fine with the “people like you” comment. He’s not setting you aside because of your race or religion. He’s just saying “people who think like you”. Which I understand. I am scared of all the democrats that backed Obama in the first place. I really am.

Your post indicates your own racist tendencies and it illustrates some serious intellectual deficiencies.

I mean, really, dude, did you just try to interject the ‘Hussein’ factor?

Ugh… You’re an idiot.

“Senator Obama, do you think Reverend Wright loves this country as much as you do?”

I wonder how much money, productivity, and brain cells, overall, were wasted with that one… Once again, bravo, ABC!!!

Speakin’ of Slick Willy, this guy thinks he’s Slick Willy’s Second Coming!

See, I guess we can all get along

It is blind patriotism and complacency which are harmful to America, not critique.

On that, we 100% agree.

No, no, no, no. I think that the foundation of this nation and the people of this country are, indeed, the best in the world. I do think, though, that we, as a country, need to improve the way we treat each other and the way we conduct ourselves in the international arena. That’s part of what being a liberal is all about. I think that, regardless of how advanced we think we are and no matter the grand illusions we maintain of ourselves, we can always do better. It is blind patriotism and complacency which are harmful to America, not critique.

It’s amazing the amount of people who think that life is all flowers and sunshine. Two people can barely live together in a house in most instances without fighting and arguing. Just look to your own life, and you’ll see it, people that you can’t deal with, people that you argue with. It’s human nature. Nations just do it on a grander scale, and should we really expect anything different?

Once you can get along with every single person you meet, you can explain it to the rest of us and find a way for us to all adhere to your guidlines. Then once all of the US can get along, we can try to explain it to other countries. Maybe then we’ll have the pretty little world that the hippies all talked about.

Hell, we can’t even park around the holidays without getting into fistfights. As much as I respect John Lennon, he was wrong… all you need is not love, because love couldn’t keep the Beatles together. In a decade of peace and love, of which they were premier proponents, they didn’t even make it out of the sixties. That should tell you something right there.

Reality check, most hippies sold out once they realize that their vision was immature and impractical.

Sure we do crappy things. If you’re so against it, go and run for office. Make a difference that way. Change the world. But by living here and not respecting the country, you’re just as much to blame as Obama is for stickin’ around his church. If you really think there is a better country out there, then you should be living there. If you recognize that though we may not be perfect, we are indeed as good as it gets, then fine stick around.

Sorry if I offend you at all, but people risk their lives to protect this country. They do so because they want to. They volunteer for it so we can continue to live in this great country. If you really feel this country doesn’t deserve respect then why are you here?

Sure, we do a lot of crappy things, but hey, so has every one of us as individuals. Sure, a lot of moments in American history leave me feeling ashamed, but do you think there is a country out there that has even a fairly clean slate in their history? Maybe, possibly Israel. Start learning Hebrew.

Viva la revolucion!
