What can be said, Senator? If you sleep with the dogs you will get up with a few fleas:

Quoting the Senator:

''Patriotism can never be defined as loyalty to any particular leader or government or policy,' Obama said. 'When our laws, our leaders or our government are out of alignment with our ideals, then the dissent of ordinary Americans may prove to be one of the truest.''

Which government are you loyal to, Senator? You did take an oath to uphold and defend the Constitution, did you not? Been reading up on Rexford Guy Tugwell, have you? Are you planning to do away with our Constitution, Senator?

You people are so brainwashed. If you all had been around back in 1776, you would be turning our founding fathers over to the British. Apparently we all have to go along with our government no matter what mess they get us into. Go ahead and don't vote for Obama, he is going to win anyways and leave this country in much better shape than he found it. If he is lame I will be the first one to hold him accountable.

RE:'You people are so brainwashed. If you all had been around back in 1776, you would be turning our founding fathers over to the British.'

Actually, no, I think that would Obama's dirty trick. Again, which government does Senator Obama claim to be loyal to? The government we have now or the totalitarian regime he is dreaming of establishing? Fairness doctrine, anyone?
