Wow, the Democratic Convention starts..

[gunsup0331]

I have done a bit(not a lot) of snooping on Obama and every time i hear him talk i get the feeling that he has naive and radical ideas for this country, he really thinks that He is The solution. The REAL WORLD tends to kick people like this in the ass.  Saying McCain is the lesser of "two evils" is laughable, he has been in my states government for a LONG time and his record has been impeccable as well as his character. LOL i had to write a letter to a Senator when i was an Eagle Scout and he was the only one who personally replied.
  In my plain and simple Grunt mindset, Obama isnt an American, he wont wear the flag, so he can go F*ck himself.  McCain is a patriot with no selfish ambition, what more could you ask for?

Gosh Mike,

To me Patriotism is standing for the Constitution of these United States, and Proudly saluting the Flag, Old Glory ! Now I'm Old and feeble minded, but that is how I feel!

I don't defend The Government, when it tries to remove or Freedoms from us, or agree when they do stupid, or clever policies or laws. But I do LOVE AMERICA, and MY FLAG !!!!! I'll Die to Protect OUR Constitution, and MY FLAG !

So if placing your hand over your heart, isn't your forte, when the National Anthem is played, and You do not feel it is Right to wear a pin of our nation, the American Flag, I believe you should look for a country that suits you, a country who's flag makes you feel proud, to a country that when there National Anthem is played, you snap tall, and place you hand over your heart, because you are proud of her, and love her. You sure as heck shouldn't be running for the Presidency of MY Country !

From what I see Osama Obama and his wife, they are false Americans, not patriots, And he will not even show us his birth certificate, WHY Everything I see in Obama, is JUST WORDS. BULL POOP, just WORDS ! CHANGE just WORDS !

PROUD TO BE AN AMERICAN, just WORDS ! Talk is CHEEP, Politicians are even CHEEPER !

Tell me, How Do You Like the "CHANGE" FOUR YEARS OF THE DEMOCRATIC PARTY, controlling the Senate and the Congress have given YOU The Housing Crash, Gas Prices, Unemployment, Bank Failures ! is that enough ? There's More. Companies moving Off Shore !

If you want CHANGE, see you bank teller, you'll have a better chance of seeing change there. WORDS !!!

With all the shortcomings the USA is the BEST COUNTRY in the world.

As usual, Big Bill hit the nail on the head. I've said before, Bill,...your a great American. Just to add to Bill's post I have posted a pic below. It speaks for itself. This is not a "doctored"picture. I also have more dirt on Senater Obama if anybody wishes to opine. BTW,...in my mind a candidate for the President of these United States should have a great deal of experience in all aspects of running the greatest country on earth. Obama has been a Senator for less than one year. Will I vote for an extreme far left liberal elitist who speaks well but nothing comes out of his inexperienced mouth? I think not!

Senator Barack Obama, Governor Bill Richardson, Senator Hillary Clinton and Ruth Harkin stand during the national anthem.
Barack Hussein Obama's photo (that is his real name).....the article said he REFUSED TO NOT ONLY PUT HIS HAND ON HIS HEART DURING THE PLEDGE OF ALLEGIANCE, BUT REFUSED TO SAY THE PLEDGE....how the heckl can a man like this expect to be our next Commander-in-Chief?!

Myworryis, how much longer before 'we the sheeple' are fleeced to the pointthat earned income is no longer sufficient to feed ourselves? How close to that are we?

Really close, I fear.

Won't matter what a great country, when food becomes 'unobtainium' for the average working class.

Gunsup0331 I can't believe you posted 'McCain has no selfish ambition'. He threw away his first wife for a multimillion dollar heiress. He was part of the Keating Five. We do not know what other points as far as unselfishness he has but I'm sure more will come out. I wonder how many lobbyists he really has in his back pocket.  How many elections can we vote for the lesser of two evils before we ourselves are classified as evil.  Do not take this as personal, it is just to challenge your point.  Jeep98

Keating 5........Senators John Glenn and John McCain were cleared of having acted improperly but were criticized for having exercised "poor judgment"....(wikipedia)
 IMHO ill take criticism over a charge any day.
And who he marries is not my business.
Jeep98 I cant profess to be 'uber-knowledgeable' about these things, my post was strictly my opinion.  I respect your zealous interest in the Social and political climate, its refreshing to see opinions other than mainstream.

SIRNOMAD: A society is not its government. Care for eldery, sick, etc. should fall on the community, preferably the church (too bad these guys are getting more corrupt by the second...)  The more power and money (responsibilities) get placed at the feet of the government the more control they will have over the governed.   If you start expecting your "dad" to take care of you he will expect you to abide by his rules under HIS roof.  An Independent nation needs to remember that they are independent, and it takes effort to stay that way.

Short and simple…

I am not voting for an “Obama-nation.”
