The Left’s Outrage over Giuliani Rings False

Whenever a conservative says something that infuriates the liberals, we hear about it for weeks and the Giuliani comments are a perfect example. Rudy hit a major nerve with his comments about odumbo and the story goes on for................?

Note to libs: Get over it!

[I want the USA back]

The left is full of fake outrage whenever a normal person breaks through the PC curtain and says a forbidden truth.

As to whether Barack Obama loves his country, I think Rudy is spot-on; my wife (no liberal, she) gives the president the benefit of the doubt.

The problem with this statement is that Obama DOES love his country. The fact is that the United States is NOT Obama's country.

But the question of who is right is unimportant, because, as we both agree, President Obama is doing great harm to the United States.

Totally true.

His support for “a woman’s right to choose,” buried him here and he’s a practicing Roman Catholic.

And his ugly divorce. And his living with a gay couple/political donors while mayor.

“The problem with this statement is that Obama DOES love his country. The fact is that the United States is NOT Obama’s country.”

The observable facts certainly seem to support your statement, the question is what country IS his?

[Billthedrill]

Progressives don't love America, at least not the one they see before them: too oppressive, too white, too wealthy, too influential, too American. Recall that "America, love it or leave it" was answered by "America, change it or lose it". It never did do to question exactly what it was the sloganeer felt would be "lost". And in these days of increased polarization a true answer is "nothing".

Progressives want to see America diminished and its citizens humbled because they feel themselves above both. The phony outrage is merely that they've been called on it.
