Ashamed of America?

Some say Obama's critics have taken their eye off the ball in focusing on his associations with the Rev. Jeremiah Wright and William Ayers, thus giving his far-left policies a pass. But that's a false choice.

Those criticisms would have more validity but for the fact that Obama's associations and his approach to policy are inextricably intertwined, flowing from a particular -- and consistent -- mindset.

It's no accident that Obama sat for 20 years and had his children baptized in a church whose pastor revved up his congregation by denouncing America with expletives, that he had a working relationship with a professor who expressed pride in his past anti-American terrorism, or even that his wife admitted a first-time pride in the United States with the advent of her husband's electoral success.

Repeated references to Obama's close connections with these people and others are not drive-by attacks designed to incriminate Obama merely by association. Their purpose is to shine a spotlight on Obama to help determine whether he embraces or is sympathetic to the same negative views about America as his soul mates.

Obama acknowledged in his book that Wright was a major inspiration. If you look at Obama’s positions many are derived from Wright’s sermons. For example, Obama came out for talking to our enemies because Wright has been preaching for years how wrong it was that we isolated those regimes. Likewise, Obama’s desire to unilaterally dismantle our nuclear programs is derived from Wright’s teachings about our “evil” atom bombings of Japan.

The Limbaugh brothers, good genes and good upbringing shines through. They are not ashamed of America.

If the Muslim Magic Negro is ashamed of America, why does he want to be President?
