Sometimes they spill things the U.S media won’t. LOL

I agree!!
Thanks for the ‘barfer’ alert!
Sometimes I think the English want America to go down.
They never did get over that ass kicking we gave them!
All I can say is anyone who has to ‘explain’ what patriotism is, probably doesn’t have any.
People know when one has it.
Obama’s firmly embedded in the hate America crowd.
After all that he’s achieved as an American, he wants to destroy the goose that laid the golden egg.
To be frank, the Marxist sock-puppet probably doesn’t know any better — He was groomed to be what he is.
So what’s Mc-Globalist excuse?

“If you need to explain your patriotism to others, you’re no patriot.”
Indeed.
I didn’t see your post when I did mine!

(That's right! It was revealed than Kerry served in VN.)
Hasn't the clown employee of the newspaper seen those photos of Kerry with the Viet Minh and Viet Cong in Paris? Then the video of Kerry arguing for the Viet Communists -- and doing it before a Senate subcommittee among other places!
Patriotism is the last refuge of the scoundrel; in the US it is the first resort of the Republicans come election time. . . My country, by definition, can do no wrong." Less respectful of the past, the liberal version [of patriotism] looks to the future.
Yes, in the 1960s the liberals' bumper sticker proclaimed, "America: fix it or forget it." Nothing's changed.
Also the same, liberal blacks are free to wrap themselves in chains just as "scoundrels wrap themselves in the Flag" and everyone is required to respect their feeeeeeeeeelings and claims of being former slaves.
Dismay?? They know Obama is the Grand Wallah of flim flam. He's an Isflamist. What he says is flam. Nothing substantive has changed -- he's still aiming for "liberation." Remember? He's going to make America great.
Interesting article. So his dad died in a car accident, just like Slick Willie’s? Guess that the way it is with these “Black Presidents”.
Interesting - one of the comments below that article already says hey, don’t judge the son by the sins of the father. Of course none of us are responsible for anyone else’s sins, BUT Obama has clearly created a mythical father figure to replace the truly contemptible biological father who abandoned him and his mother..... a “father” who turned out to be drunk, lecher, wife-beater.
No one forced Barack, Jr. to write a book about his long-lost father, but given that he chose to do so it is his (dis)honesty that must be judged now. Sounds like Barack, Jr. has substituted racialist (racist) politics for an accurate assessment of his (absent) “father” whose failings were so severe that no decent person can respect that man.
How can the nation trust a man so completely incapable of acknowledging fact and reality?
This ugly truth, say friends, has made Mr Obama ruthlessly determined to use every weapon that he has to succeed, including the glossily edited version of his father’s story.
“At the end of the day Barack wants the story to help his political cause, so perhaps he couldn’t afford to be too honest,” said Ochieng.
His babydaddy was not a slave nor were his ancestors. In fact, that particular tribe in what is now Kenya made its living selling slaves.
Makes him pretty closely related to Senator McConnel AND Bill Clinton in fact.
