The audacity. They criticized Barack Obama is not patriotic which is another way of saying that he is second class citizen and does not consider him an American.<BR/><BR/>If I am going to walk around with a symbol, it should be the Constitution as it is the foundation of the country, but flags are just so much better to wave and it does not require reading. I am with the late George Carlin when he said that Americans are stupid. It's a sad commentary, but it is true. Despite the modern technology available to get information, and people still do not make use of it. However, the continue with the mantra we are the best country in the world, but I am with the opinion of Bill Maher when he said that "we are not on a build to the 21st century, we are on a bus to Atlantic City with a roll of quarters.<BR/><BR/>We paid more attention to trifling details such boycotting a Batman film when it used mechanical penguins and step over a homeless person on the way to the boycott. We pay attention to flag burning and not notice that our civil liberties are deteriorating.<BR/><BR/>Field, unfortunately, you have to speak to addled and feeble-minded Americans in the simple terms they can comprehend, treat as if they are in kindergarten (and that's insult really to the to the little ones), and supply them with visual aid so you do not taxed their brains with even hint of critical thinking.

David Petraeus. ...he is dealing with a whisper campaign that he is not really American, that he a manchurian candidate.... </I><BR/><BR/>In my view, that statement also comes from a real part of his actual political perspective. I don't have it in front of me now, but I am pretty sure that he discusses this thing about the 60s in the book he wrote that was published in 2005, Audacity of Hope.<BR/><BR/>To my eyes, that statement reflects a particular kind of subtlety in his analysis -- a subtlety that seems to evade the perception of progressives and other leftists who can't take in new information if it's in categories outside the existing worldview.<BR/><BR/>So many people, right AND left, seem to be looking at Senator Obama through their own pre-set filters rather than looking at what he actually says, does and is about. <BR/><BR/>(Jody, this is not specifically about you! Just got sparked by your comment)<BR/><BR/>And speaking of your comments, Jody,. I love what you said here: <I>In using consensus, we seek ALL perspectives, we listen to all concerns and we try to include all folks input into what needs to be done.<BR/><BR/>Seems to me, that is what Obama is doing right now. He is seeking to reach out to those whom I may not agree with on everything, but he is right in that we ALL have common concerns.... we ALL want a cleaner environment, we all want a quality education for our children, safety in our homes and communities, health care available when we are sick or injured. And, I think most Americans recognize that the infrastructure of this country needs serious repair and priority for sustainable, renewable energy.<BR/><BR/>So, while it makes me uncomfortable to see him reaching out to constituencies that have different beliefs than me.... I also know that if he is to accomplish what he says he wants to... that is required.</I><BR/><BR/>I see this focus on bringing things in for consensus in what he does and have noticed it for quite some time now. This approach is well outside of the good guys/bad guys worldview animating much of the left in this country, which IMO is sad. <BR/><BR/>But then, I think that some people don't want to actually deal with the fact that they are part of a nation that includes people who don't agree with them except to the extent that they should educate those other people to see "the truth" that they in their superior vision can see better.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23428832.post-16494710488012543922008-07-01T13:49:00.000-04:002008-07-01T13:49:00.000-04:00That's too bad Chris, defiantly a disappointment.That's too bad Chris, defiantly a disappointment.?https://www.blogger.com/profile/16834812675776638645noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23428832.post-81617450680059042862008-07-01T13:14:00.000-04:002008-07-01T13:14:00.000-04:00Do you like George Bush's faith-based initiatives?...Do you like George Bush's faith-based initiatives?<BR/><BR/>So does Barack Obama.<BR/><BR/>Bush’s controversial program of steering Federal dollars to faith-based social service programs and religious groups has earned him the ire of many who say the program is a violation of the ‘Separation of Church and State’ doctrine.<BR/><BR/>But in a move to appeal to Bible-thumping, evangelical voters, Democratic presidential candidate Barack Obama is announcing plans that would expand Bush’s faith-based program to get religious charities more involved in anti-poverty programs, food banks, and youth ministries.<BR/><BR/>Obama will make today at Eastside Community Ministry in Zanesville, Ohio:<BR/><BR/><B>“The challenges we face today, from putting people back to work to improving our schools, from saving our planet to combating HIV/AIDS to ending genocide, are simply too big for government to solve alone. We need all hands on deck.”</B><BR/><BR/>Ostensibly, the difference between Bush and Obama’s appproaches to faith-based initiatives is in Obama’s case, Obama does not support requiring religious tests for aid recipients nor using Federal money to proselytize.
