He should go and take Hanoi Jane out for dinner after she recanted her earlier wishy-washy apology and now says she’s glad she went to North Vietnam.

He said: ‘We live in a land made of ideals, not blood and soil.’

Well duh! That is where Americans derive our nationalism, you old coot.

And it’s really hard when your “good buddies” on the left eradicate the symbols, memorials, ideas, and national lore that is the DNA of our national identity!

This is McCain serving his globalist masters just like he was bought and paid to do.

I did not really know about him until after 2008.

He’s an absolute scum bag.

Keep in mind that he virtue signaled and attacked the most pro American president since Reagan while literally accepting a medal from a leftist

His family hates him and he hates them. It’s a family of convenience. Why would he want to spend his last days with them when he could be twisting the knife in the back of America?

The same reason Pelosi is in office. The same reason McConnell is still in office. The same reason Baghdad Bob stayed in office so long.

Constituents voting their wallets.

“Once an America hero”

Does getting captured make one a hero. Sure, he didn’t want to be captured...but he was. I feel sorry he suffered at the hands of a brutal regime in Vietnam but that doesn’t make one a hero.

Most of the heroes are dead and buried... and those alive don’t act like John McLame.

“He said: ‘We live in a land made of ideals, not blood and soil.”

Ignorance. Yes, we have some ideals, but were some other set of ideals ruling this land, and we and our ideals on some minor piece of geography, our ideals would have had much less impact on the whole, and we would have had a lot different history, a history that would have “made” us whatever we became.

Geography cannot be ignored as a fact of life that can hinder or help you, whatever ideals you think you are advancing.

But once a set of ideals are achieved and advanced it is that soil and the blood shed for the Liberty provided on that soil that this nation gets “made” by those efforts.

John McCain probably would have gotten all cosy with the corrupt characters depicted in the movie “Brubaker”.

Translated, his complaint actually says he’s infuriated that the conservatives and patriots are still here.

‘We live in a land made of ideals, not blood and soil.’

Said by the man who never met a war he didn’t like.

I watched Joe Biden brimming with glee at the screed of John McCain. The Senator from Arizona plays his useful idiot role for the Left well.

Trump warns McCain: ‘At some point I fight back, and it won’t be pretty’

http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/3595776/posts

Now both posts are on the same screen, goes nicely, wouldn’t you say?

“Sen. John McCain warned against the US turning toward ‘half-baked, spurious nationalism’...”

As opposed to the ‘fully-baked’ variety that the senator-who-never-saw-a-military-intervention-he-didnt-like peddles?

Oh shut up, McStain, you never miss a chance to spit your petty bitter venom at President Trump!!! Just shut the h*ll up!!!

There is GREAT cosmic justice in the fact that you are actively dying from stage 4 brain cancer.

Rooting for the tumor, rooting for the tumor.........

McCain has never had a patriotic day in his treason filled life. A grifter, always for sale. A whore. Betraying everyone who ever trusted him.
