YOU CAN'T HATE YOUR COUNTRY AND THEN WONDER WHY NO ONE THINKS YOU'RE A PATRIOT:
Reasons to Temper Our Pessimism (Richard Halloran, 7/06/08, Real Clear Politics)
The young woman, an editor, said in a private conversation that "there's not much going on in our country today that makes me proud to be an American."Posted by Orrin Judd at July 6, 2008 11:09 AMShe sympathized with Michelle Obama, wife of the presumptive Democratic candidate for president, Senator Barack Obama, for the flak she took after being widely quoted: "For the first time in my adult lifetime, I'm really proud of my country." Ms. Obama is 44 and thus suggested that she had not been proud of America for two decades.
Neither the editor nor Ms. Obama, however, seemed to be so pessimistic as a couple who said in personal correspondence: "Our country is dying." Nor did they go so far as the Rev. Jeremiah Wright, the Chicago preacher who was even more widely quoted as calling on God to damn America.
Let us recall that Effendi Obama and all the peace-creeps have been four-square behind the position that its had been better, from their point of view, that the other Hussein, Saddam, had been left to go on cycling people from the rape-rooms to the log-chipper.

Some idiot poster at RCP thinks Obambi will put in a "sensible" policy like when Ronnie met Gorby.
I asked if that was before or after he put the missiles in Germany.
