The firestorm of denunciation of former New York mayor Rudolph Giuliani, for having said that he did not think Barack Obama loved America, is in one sense out of all proportion to that remark especially at a time when there are much bigger issues, including wars raging, terrorist atrocities and a nuclear Iran on the horizon.
Against that background of strife and dangers on the world stage, it may seem as if Barack Obama's feelings, or Rudolph Giuliani's opinion about those feelings, should not matter so much, especially when it is hard to know with certainty how anyone feels. Yet when someone is the leader of a great nation at a historic juncture, it is more than idle curiosity to know what drives him.
It is not clear what the basis was for so much outrage at Mayor Giuliani's opinion about President Obama. Was it that what Giuliani said was demonstrably false? Was it that Barack Obama is supposed to be considered innocent until proven guilty?
Anyone who simply looks at the factual evidence as to whether Obama loves America, or does not, will find remarkably little to suggest love and a large amount of evidence, over a long period of years, showing his constant close association with people fiercely hostile to this country. Jeremiah Wright was just one in a long series of such people.
Barack Obama's campaign promise to "fundamentally change the United States of America" hardly suggests love. Nor did his international speaking tour in 2009, telling foreign audiences that America was to blame for problems on the world stage.

” There is little that can be done about President Obama now, no matter what he does. Impeachment, even if it succeeded, would mean Joe Biden as president and riots across the country. It is hard to know which would be worse.”
Not for me. Between illegal amnesty, and trying to give Iran the bomb, I’ll take removal from office. I understand the point Tom is making, of course. We get HELL to pay, either way!
Geez, Sowell, what the heck do facts have to do with anything? It’s all about poor wittle Obama’s feelings, not what he has actually said or done.
Bottom line? Someone finally said publicly what many, many Americans have been saying and thinking and the left got EXPOSED and are now fighting like cornered rats.
I agree with you. Biden is definitely not presidential material but he does not hate America as does 0bama.
“firestorm of denunciation”? You need to talk with regular people, we’re cheering Giuliani! Someone prominent has finally said what we all know!
The media is going into conniption fits because Guiliani insulted their boyfriend.
At this risk of sounding Clintonesque, at this point impeachment really doesn’t matter that much. By the time we got to a trial and verdict, his two years of continued destruction would be about up.
In the meantime, what would be done to redress the real problem, which is: What do we do with millions of American voters stupid enough, lazy enough or greedy enough to vote twice for this moslem-sympathizing communist?
Long after 0bama rides off into the sunset in the golf cart with Reggie Love, those millions of Americans will still be there, and they will still be stupid, lazy and greedy. And there will be more of them.
>>I understand the point Tom is making, of course. We get HELL to pay, either way!<<
As Rush has said so many times: “Elections have consequences.”
Thanks, LIV America. How is that hopey-changey thing working for ya?
” What do we do with millions of American voters stupid enough, lazy enough or greedy enough to vote twice for this moslem-sympathizing communist?”
Don’t offer them pitiful alternatives like McCain & Romney.
“The media is going into conniption fits because Guiliani insulted their boyfriend.”
The worshippers’ loudest most vigorous defense of their god I’ve seen so far seems to be, “Oh yeah?! He ABSOLUTELY loves our country because HE said so, so THERE!”
There is a great article written by Jason Riley in the Imprimis this month. The Imprimis is a publication that is mailed monthly from Hillsdale College. The article states that the failure of the Great Society program.
“The media is going into conniption fits because Guiliani insulted their boyfriend.”
Precisely.
“Whoever is president has the lives of hundreds of millions of Americans, and the fate of a nation, in his hands. It is those millions of people and that nation who deserve the benefit of the doubt. We need to err on the side of safety for the people and the country. Squeamish politeness to an individual cannot outweigh that.”
Note to Scott Walker: see final sentence above.
“We need to keep that in mind for the next president, and for all future presidents. We might have been better off if the question of Obama’s patriotism had been raised before he was first elected. Never should we ignore so many red flag warnings again.”
I will read it, and thanks for info. Imprimis is a great mag.
Note the uniparty's crucifixion of Scott Walker. He's not in the script. They want Jeb Bush to lose to Liawatha.
Jeb will be gone after the first whistle stop .
