OBAMA: ‘I AM TOO PATRIOTIC!”

Jump to Comments

The old Shakespeare line “Methinks thou dost protesteth too much” comes to mind.

Barack Hussein Obama is trying to insist he really is patriotic.

BUTTE, Mont. (al-AP) — Barack Obama wants to make something clear: He loves America.

After a series of incidents that prompted questions about his patriotism, the Democratic presidential candidate is peppering speeches with explicit statements on his love of country.

“I love this country not because it’s perfect but because we’ve always been able to move it closer to perfection,” he told an audience in North Dakota.

And in Montana: “It’s a country where … I’ve seen ordinary Americans find justice, where I’ve seen progress made for working families who need leaders who are willing to stand up and fight for them. That is the country I love.”

One shouldn’t have to continue to insist he or she is patriotic. But when you openly refuse to wear something as simple as a flag pin on your lapel, refuse to put your hand over your heart for the Pledge of Allegiance and the National Anthem, are associated with vile, anti-American scum like the racist Jeremiah Wright and domestic terrorist William Ayers — a man who feels no remorse for participating in bombings in the 1960s — and make little effort to condemn their words and actions, you may have, as Ricky Ricardo might say, “some ’splainin’ to do.”
