How McCain & Obama Define Patriotism Tells Us Everything
By Debbie Schlussel
As we get ready to celebrate America’s Independence Day, tomorrow, Parade Magazine asked both John McCain and Barack Obama how they define “patriotism.”
Their answers are telling. Although both wrote essays in response, I think the headlines tell you everything:
* John McCain defines patriotism as “Putting the Country First.”
* Barack Obama claims “patriotism” means “Faith In One Another as Americans.”
HUH?! Sorry, Barack, but while that makes a great Ben & Jerry’s Ice Cream slogan, a lofty feeling at the ashram, or even a description of a sex orgy, that’s not what patriotism means. It means exactly what John McCain says it does–putting America first, sacrificing for it.
But, now we know that if Obama is elected, he will think the nebulous, hippie feeling of “faith in one another” is America’s priority, when it should actually be what John McCain thinks it is–putting our country first.
So Barack Hussein Obama now wants to redefine American Patriotism? How about just sticking to the facts, of “Treason, Being the New Democrats Patriotism.” Or “Democrats = Surrender Monkeys.”
Get it straight BHO, no matter how much lipstick you try to put on that treasonous Democrat Pig, it’s still a PIG!
