QUOTE 1. "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."
RESPONSE: What is in your heart Obama? Why have you surrounded yourself with people that do not represent the heart of America? Why communists and terrorists if you love your Country?
QUOTE 2. "Patriotism is supporting your country all the time."
RESPONSE: These are “just words” he lifted the phrase from Mark Twain: “Patriotism is supporting your country all the time, and your government when it deserves it.”
QUOTE 3 “The use of patriotism as a political sword or a political shield is as old as the Republic," Obama said. "Still, what is striking about today's patriotism debate is the degree to which it remains rooted in the culture wars of the 1960s -- in arguments that go back 40 years or more. In the early years of the civil rights movement unpatriotic."
RESPONSE: Here we go again referring to the civil rights movements and the history of culture wars- this is a principal rooted in black theology. This seems to be a pattern he is establishing.
QUOTE 4: “by burning flags, by blaming America for all that was wrong with the world, and perhaps most tragically, by failing to honor those veterans coming home from Vietnam, something that remains a national shame to this day”
RESPONSE: Burning flags. That is what Bill Ayres and his bunch did. They were born out of the protesting of the Vietnam War period. What is he referring to? Is he attempting to throw Ayres under the bus now?
QUOTE 5: Democrat Barack Obama vowed never to use patriotism as a wedge issue in his contest for the White House, saying attacks on him were a result both of his own "carelessness" but more often the work of those trying to distort his background and record.
RESPONSE: Sorry Obama just because you claim people are trying to distort your background and record doesn’t mean you are speaking the truth. How come you could not manage your own Senate District in the State of Illonois? Why did you help secure those land development deals for your buddy convicted felon Tony Rezko? Why haven’t you been held accountable? How is this distorting these facts?
QUOTE 6 "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.
RESPONSE: Obama it is your “just Words” and The Party you represent stealing Clinton votes, and changing the rules to win. Taking votes cast for others goes against every principal of America.
We wrote letters, we held protests. We tried toexplain to the Democratic Party why we could not accept you for the nominee. They did not listen. So now we have united on American Principal, American Values, American Theology, American Rights and will not cast our vote for you. You divided the party. There is absolutely nothing you can say or do to persuade any PUMAS to break your way. United We Stand in Principal and Honor to defeat a man who is questionable at best.
