Rudy is doubling down.
Former mayor Rudy Giuliani acknowledged his speech criticizing President Obama’s patriotism last week “hit a nerve” but went even further Sunday denouncing the president’s foreign policy agenda.
“I said it maybe 30 times before but somehow this time it hit a nerve, maybe because the president is on such defense for his unwillingness to face Islamic terrorism,” Giuliani told John Catsimatidis on 970 AM The Answer.
“We need a American president more like Ronald Reagan who gave us a sense of optimism,” said Giuliani. “There’s something about his unwillingness to talk about Islamic extremist Muslims that is not only wrong, it is becoming very dangerous.”
Giuliani said Wednesday that he did not believe President Obama “loves America.”

Get the popcorn.
LOL. The Obama gang loves “in your face” politics except when it’s their faces. Giuliani is a true New Yorker and can play that game with the best of them. Go Giuliani!
Finally a high profile leader says the truth.
Finally someone had the guts to come out and say what everyone knows —> Obama is a slime ball of immense proportions.
Meanwhile, it must be very frustrating for leftists everywhere to know they don’t love America but not have enough confidence in their beliefs to be able to admit it.
Those familiar with the story of Ali Baba and the Forty Thieves will recall the scene where the chief of the thieves attempts to murder Ali Baba by posing as his friend. However, he gives himself away by telling Ali Baba that he cannot eat salt. Because to eat salt with another man was a sign of friendship, his request piques the suspicion of his slave girl, who stabs him before he can kill Ali Baba. Let those who understand take heed.
Only with the quisling GOP. I'm betting the Democrats aren't as outraged as they let on.
Triple down, Rudy, if need be..
:):):)
When you get the most flak, you are directly over the target.............
He hit a nerve alright, they’re having a hissy fit because he’s right and most people with two brain cells know it.
Naw.
I'm saving my limited supply for when Obama announces his deal/surrender to Iran.
We have 3 or 4 Flag officers, Rudy and many others (Bibi) who have been excoriating this POTUS for his traitorous actions and allegiances.
It'll be a well-tuned chorus once that announcement is made.
Even potential POTUS candidates will be calling Obama's "deal" a Dead Letter.
Not worth the ink and paper it's written on.
He'll be the NUMBER ONE LAUGHING STOCK of all US Presidents.
You say that like he's not there already.
pound Rudy pound.
When you are taking flak, you are over the target.
Rudy seen more danger in 24 hours 13 years ago than this dweeb seen his whole life.
He isnt afraid of some homos called “reporters”.
New York tak’in it to the Windy City (blowhards)! I love it! Someone, finally, who won’t back down. Ups the ante if you will. Go get’em Giuliani!
One of the sad things I’m noticing over the last four years or so is that so many in the US seem to live on different planets. I don’t know if that was always the case, but it certainly is now, and its not very good.
As an example, I don’t even think what Giuliani said was controversial. I think it is obviously true, so I can’t see why everyone’s getting so upset over it. Please let me explain.
What Giuliani said was that Obama didn’t love our country the same way as, for example, George Bush. Not only don’t I think this is controversial, but I think that Obama would agree, and so would his supporters. His supporters would say, “Of course Obama doesn’t love the country like George Bush did. George Bush was a flag waving, xenophobic, racist, sexist, homophobic idiot, while Obama is intellectual, nuanced and brilliant. Bush’s is a stupid love, while Obama’s is much more mature.”
Now, as to what I think.
First, its obvious (though slightly off point) that Michelle Obama doesn’t love the country. Why? Because she said that the first time she felt proud of our country was when her husband was elected. So, maybe she loves our country now that her husband is president, but she didn’t love it before. That is, unless you can be embarrassed about your country and still love it. (A bit self-referencing and narcissistic, don’t you think?
As to the president, he said he wants to “fundamentally transform” the country. If I tell you that I love my wife but I want to “fundamentally transform her”, do you see the contradiction? He doesn’t love the country “as is” (which is the definition of love), but he may or may not love it after he remakes it in his image. (Like his wife, Obama is a self-referencing narcissist.) Loving something or somebody and at the same time believing that it has to be fundamentally transformed is not compatible.
For my next point, let’s do a thought experiment. Let’s say that you had a daughter named Sara, and you heard me say “Not God bless Sara Smith, but G-d damn Sara Smith!” Would you still be my friend? Would you call me your mentor? Of course, that’s what Reverend Wright said.
Finally, let’s say that I have a son named Jason. If I went around to everyone apologizing for Jason’s behavior and virtually never said anything nice about Jason, would you see this as a manifestation of love, or something else?
When you love someone or something, you leap to their defense, not attack them. For example, the people who love Obama, leap to his defense at any slight. I don’t love Obama, so I don’t. Love vs. not love.
I think its obvious. Of course Obama doesn’t love America like George Bush loves America or even how I love America. I don’t want to fundamentally transform it, I wouldn’t be friends with someone who thought that God should damn it, I don’t go around apologizing for it, and I have lots of nice things to say about it. All this, in opposition to how Obama acts.
What’s the controversy?
I,d call it “sticking to his guns”......
[He’ll be the NUMBER ONE LAUGHING STOCK of all US Presidents.]
Pride comes before the fall.
