Puerile nonsense
How does patriotism come into it? You have not established a connection between peoples' legitimate concern about a raving mad religious as a cause and patriotism as a cause. I think most people are just thinking that in dangerous times, however it is we got here, here we are and people are legitimately concerned that Obama's close and spiritual association with a nutjob like Wright is an issue. Why is that concern ridiculous? I mean all of the left has been so worried about religion in politics and now we have a bona fide connection between the leading Democratic candidate and a religious hate monger, so where are your criticisms now? It's the fact that Obama has everyone fooled that concerns me.
So why is patriotism, a legitimate love of one's nation (and not necessarily policies) somehow worse that black liberation theology of a conspiratorial nature? As a professor, I'd say this paper demonstrates the true nature of the word "sophomoric".
