Patriotism is an individual's heart expression.
Published on May 7, 2008 By jesseledesma In Politics

I plan to write two simple profiles and then ask a question.

Ms. Hillary Clinton is a woman married to a "cheater" who has on occassion defended her husband for sake of politics.  In addition, she has no real values and just tows the democrat philosophical line because thats what you do when you are a democrat.  Moreover, she has no several occasions stretched the truth.

Mr. Borak Obama is a person associated with a 1970's radical and a black radical minister who has had made some very vile comments about America.  Moreover, Obama considers wearing the American flag pin and holding his hand over his heart as a form of vain patriotism.  Mr. Obama himself has been free with the lies.

Now, if you were to ask me "who would you choose a person who lies, has some troublesome politics,  has a troubled private life, and who lies on occasion or a person who hangs out with anti-american radicals, who refuses to show any "traditional patriotism", has troublsome politics, and tries to hide his truths with lies", I would of course choose the person who is not blatant about his or her "anti-americanism".

See, Mr. Obama holding your hand over you heart and/or wearing the Flag pin is only an empty gesture is there isn't anything in your heart.  No matter what others do, patriotism is an indiviudal expression measured by what lies in the human heart.

Individuals put their hands over their hearts and wear Flag pins to show their love for their country, not to be accepted by the group.

Individuals also become citizens of the country they're residing in to show patriotism too.

Not to mention the black liberation theology Mr. Obama has been listening to for 20 years is based on Marxist principles stemming from Latin America. I could maybe listen to something (casually, research excluded) I disagree with for 20 min. before having enough of it. There is something there when a person will keep coming back time and time again to listen. This man will either be an ineffectual president or take this country in a direction similar to Chirac's France or places like Venezuela. If, of course that sounds good to you, put your check mark next to D this Nov.

Mr. Borak Obama


You can't even get his name right and you are supposed to have credibility?

As opposed to the "non political" reasons that republicans have fallen all themselves these last seven years to justify every criminal action of the Bush junta?

And John McCain is a person who was "glad to have" the endorsement of someone who called the Catholic church "the great whore."

Comments being vile doesn't make them untrue.

Oh gee and nobody on the Republican side is known to have "stretched" the truth.

Quite the contrary, feeling the desperate desire to criticize those for not doing so while you don't wear a pin yourself demonstrates just how empty your heart truly is.

Mmm...simple profiles for simple minds...

Shut up, Jesse, before the immigration officials come after you.

I don't have lapels; ergo no pin and definitely no patriotic tattoos.
