You are correct and no lapel pin, etc!  Seems doesn't like to show any signs of love for USA!

Yeah, I know.

It's just that these obnoxious Obama cultists are beginning to wear on my last nerve.

These people are beginning to remind me of the Hare Krishna's of the 1970's. I'm about ready for them to all be rounded up and herded off to be de-programmed or something.

For their own good.

Ah. We have another example to add to our liberal dictionary of meaningless buzz words: culture. Used in a sentence: "You exhibit your xenophobia when you refuse to understand the culture of others."

I am Queen Mum and I approved this message.

What you refer to as hatred, I refer too as truth. Funny how so many of the leftist persuasion in this country are incapable of differentiating between the two. Then again, to those on the left, anything put forth by anyone with which they do not agree is promptly labeled as hate speech. Beats the hell out of actually debating the point, does it not?

...name calling and attempts at character assasination.

Name calling? Wow, some impact that accusation packs coming from someone who came on this site yesterday and accused one of the most respected contributors here of being a bigot.

As for your alleged "character assassination," you have essentially accomplished that all by yourself. What is more, I will always reserve the right to question the character of anyone who will blindly defend, and apparently support, someone as clearly dishonest and fraudulent as Barack Obama.

There was not one attack on this country in my post or in the oratory of Mr. Obama.

So, I take it that, "One reason other nations find the USA not to be admired." was improperly interpreted on my end, as you apparently meant it as a ringing endorsement of the U.S.A. Right.

As to your contention that Barack Obama refrained from attacking this country, that is demonstrably false. The bulk of his speech was nothing but an attack on this country.

For one of many examples I could cite, Barack Obama stood before us yesterday and essentially accused all who voted for Ronald Reagan to have done so for what were either directly, or indirectly, racial reasons.

Given the high percentage of Americans who voted for Mr. Reagan in 1980 and 1984, his attack was aimed at a huge majority of Americans. This, in my mind, constituted an attack on the American people, and as such, this country. This man did not just play the race card, he hurled the entire deck our way.

Lambasting/negating other cultures, without the experience of being
there, is the same as making judgements about a life in this USA you
have not lived. A culture you have not taken the opportunity to learn
about.

First of all, I am not a cultural relativist. I consider Western, and particularly American, culture as the current superior model. That opinion was not formed out of ignorance, but from first hand knowledge and extensive study.

I have traveled all over Europe and North America, and I have family members who have worked as missionaries in Africa, South America and Europe.

I have, since my earliest middle school years, read volumes of World, European and American history, far more than probably 97% of the population of this country. I hardly consider myself to be uninformed. Not even close.

You present hatred and anger and fear in your post which is exactly
what contributes to the continuing schism of racial strife in this
country.

I expressed neither hatred, anger, nor fear. I did, however, express my disdain for a form of government that is the most murderous and oppressive the world has yet seen. Marxism, or its freedom-destroying derivatives, was directly or indirectly responsible for the deaths of well over 100 million people in the century just past.

As a devout libertarian, I believe steadfastly in the primacy of the individual over that of any government. Socialism and ultimate freedom are the oil and vinegar of the political spectrum. They do not mix, even in the minutest of amounts.

As for your contention that my attitude, and others like mine, are what is contributing to the "continuing schism of racial strife" in this country, I say nonsense. Unlike liberals such as yourself, I view people as individuals, not as members of groups.

The liberals have been dividing people into groups based on race, gender, sexuality, geography and what have you, for well over four decades now. They derive their power from affording more "rights" to some groups than to others. They then kick back and wait for the carnage to unfold, then, once the howls of discontent have acquired a sufficient volume, they step in and redistribute the "rights," then start the process all over again.

Thankfully, many of their selected groups are beginning to catch on to this little game, especially now that many black Americans are starting to rightfully sense that the liberals are about to throw them to the lions in favor of our invaders currently swarming over our southern border.

It appears the liberal democrat's 40 year-plus mass deception is about to turn around and bite them squarely in the ass.

This is going to be great fun to watch.

As for your reluctance to address the balance of my comments, I can only assume that my assertions were right on the mark.

But Obama's not engaging in "reverse racism".  It's just racism. 

He made donations to the cause of Rev. Wright.  Call it support if you like, but it an act of agreement with Rev. Wright.

Obama took his young girls to the same church.  Very clearly a show of support for Rev. Wright's message.

But it's not me you need to convince, it's the voters who now flee Obama in droves, rejecting his ludicrously contrived "post racial" candidacy.

If you give him a pass for failing to stand up like a man for his beliefs when doing so might make a difference, you'll give him a pass on any number of issues.

Can't take that chance with the next President.  Our current President spent like a drunken sailor, and most of us trusted he wouldn't. 

And while you're at it, how dare you equate homosexual behavior with being Black.  Shows your deep understanding, I guess.

Pathetic, juvenile and race-baiting garbage. Did you cut and paste this juvenilia, or did the voice in your head dictate it?

And seeing you know so much about...

Bush and Cheney and McCain can huddle with their spirtual advisors, the worst excess of white evangelism,

Do tell, what is the name of this person who rants this in the Presidents ear? C'mon know-all, who is it? Name names.

And why do you hate Obama so much?

Vote 4 change. Vote 4 anything. See Jack & Mr Shy's first campaign ad for the ONLY viable 3rd party candidate.
