Oh, and A Girl…I don’t exactly refer to organizations that blatantly espouse anti-Semitic ideals over theology as churches, and if you think your messiah is a Christian, click on the article from my previous post on the thread.

What’s the difference between Symbiotic and Parasitic?

It is the Senators contention that saving the life of a baby already born as the result of a botched abortions is not near as important as the sanctity of Roe vs. Wade. The fact that this is a human being does not seem to occur to the Senator. It is the same kind of attitude that enabled generations to this day in some parts of the world, to buy and sell their fellow men. In fact, it is worse. People can be freed from slavery or indentured servitude, people can not be brought back from the dead. At least not by anyone presently residing on this planet.

Why would you question his patriotism? He has NO moral compass what so ever. There is no patriotism or morality to question.

What we should be asking is why a man and woman ( Barry and Michelie) who obviously hate this country want to be at the head of it. Kind of makes you say hummmmmmmmmm.

Y’all jest ain’t gettin it.

It actually wouldn’t surprise me, but your source for this is what?

“Can you not be a patriot yet at the same time refuse to salute those idols?”

He’s not worshiping and slaughtering animals in sacrifice to the thing. He’s demonstrating a lack of basic respect.

Can you do that and still be a patriot?

I guess . . .

Is it a decent sign you have some issues in this regard?

Yeah.

I’m actually willing to chock it up to just basic political opportunism (for some reason, not saluting the flag seemed to gain him more respect on your side) rather than anti-Americanism. If you saw a guy at a regular venue, though, who had a problem with saluting the flag – exactly what more would you need? Does he actually have to say “I hate America?” Spit on the Constitution? What?

Dude, sorry, but I disagree with that one.

One of the most glaring things from all the trolls coming over here is just how many basic facts about history and politics they don’t know. (see above Re: Ayers and the Weathermen)

It’s kind of cute to see them coming around and actually trying to engage the other side in a debate now when you know the good majority of them avoided that as much as possible in college, grad school, etc. They want to feel smart and show their mettle and yet they have no idea how unprepared they are or how little they know about what they’re delving into.

They are decadent, self-indulgent, spoiled brats who have been taught to condemn our government while demanding that government meet their every personal need.

The answer is, as soldiers we understood duty and respect. Whether or not the other guy shows respect never excuss you from doing what is right.

I’ve had the privilege of leading funeral details and passing a perfectly folded flag from a fellow warriors coffin to that warrior’s loved ones. That flag may be just a symbol (and a hated one at that) to many folks. To others it is silly. To some it represents Evil Amerika. Let me tell you, it is a symbol of all the great things America stands for, and a symbol of all the great sacrifices that have been made to ensure America stands for those things.

To this day I will gently remind those around me to place hand over heart during the Anthem at ball games or other functions I attend. I remind those near me stand as the flag and its honor guard go by at a parade. I understand folks have the right to free speech, and I choose to execise my right to the same in that way. I never get into a pissing contest with some one who refuses, but I will make it clear that they are wrong (IMAO).

Prayer is not just for desperate last chances. Pray now. Pray always. And then get busy! There’s work to do!

“For it is God who works in you to will and to act according to his good purpose.”
- Philippians 2:12

As for me, I never felt the need to question his patriotism. I’ve pretty much known all along where it stood.

I have also read the Ayers has much influence on the teachers unions and influences curriculum in our public school systems.

I would question their intelligence first.

Now I am wondering how her and her husband Ayers are not only free, sponging a living off faux-academia, and are closely associated with a presidential candidate. I realize what they did happened when Obama was a kid, but by that logic shouldn’t Obama then be friends with Sirhan Sirhan and Charles Manson? They were horrific criminals when Obama was a kid. Why are they even still in jail if being a criminal when Obama was a kid is a whitewash of past bad deeds? DId they not contribute Marxist raised dollars to him?

So we have a presidential candidate who ‘repudiates’ their actions, but defends them as professors who live in his neighborhood serving the community.

Here is the bottom line on patriotism – If you love America you defend her from all enemies foreign and domestic, not defend all enemies foreign and domestic who are against her. How hard is that? Now tell me who is the patriot in this particular election.

Really – please elaborate. How?
