Frederick
Your economic policy has failed, costing America in homes and jobs.
Your foreign policy has failed, costing America in lives and trade.
Your president has failed, costing America in prestige and standing.
Your congress has failed, costing in America its reserves and infrastructure.
Your supreme court has failed, your senate has failed, your religion has failed where have you succeeded?
It is time to start listening to those who were right in the first place. It is time to cut the "patriotic" crap.
That is what scares cowards about Obama's preacher. That America is not perfect, that its behaviour is not always above board and that there is real injustice in America's actions implies the need to fix those imperfections.
It is much easier to wave a flag and say "America uber alles" than to actually knuckle down and do the work needed to run the damn place.
That is what Obama offers by not being a "patriot". By not wearing the flag pin, by marrying a not-particularly proud American, Obama offers America a president who won't waste its fucking time with flags and reminders of just which country you come from.
