That’s right, Osama Obama, don’t want to let your islamic brotherhood to know.

Here's his new one:

"I decided I won't wear that pin on my chest," he said in the interview. "Instead, I'm going to try to tell the American people what I believe will make this country great, and hopefully that will be a testament to my patriotism."

Someone needs to tell Hussein Obama that this ALREADY IS a great country!

[ArmyTeach]

Nice guy, maybe. Shallow, callow, inexperienced and living in a liberal fantasy, definitely. I'm not concerned about his not wearing that pin. I find it most telling that he finds it inappropriate to wear the pin.

I’ve found that the people who expend great amounts of energy proclaiming themselves to so Christian are often the same people who don’t seem to get it at all. It’s as if they’ve forgotten the story of the man who fasts, and declares to everyone that he’s fasting, versus the man who fasts in silence. They’re also often the same people who pass harsh judgements of others (particularly homosexuals), again missing a key tenant of their proclaimed faith. You can wear a giant cross on your neck or drive around with a fish on your car - it doesn’t mean you’ve grasped the religion at all.

The WWJD bracelets weren’t really symbolic, though, were they? What did they symbolize? They were perhaps simple reminders, but a symbol is more powerful than that.

I’m actually quite the fan of symbolism, particularly that used by the Catholic Church. It requires the viewer reflect upon a subject, personalize it, deal with it, revitalize it. It’s something I think we Protestants miss out on at times.

Take off your partisan glasses. Face it, if a Republican candidate had given the same answer, you'd be calling it brilliant...

Wrong...it's a terrible answer and it perfectly displays the difference between conservatives and liberals. Conservatives think this IS a great country...was well founded and is worth fighting for. Liberals think they need to fight to make this country great...with socialized medicine, entitlement programs, overtaxed upper class, open borders, public school indoctrination centers and the implementation of a radical anti-christian social agenda.

Anytime a dim says that where I am I will say, “Said like a true traitor and an anti-American POS”!

[LibLieSlayer]

Will you take your Cross off and hide it when osama comes after you? IF hildebeast or osamabama gets elected... his boys will come.

[LibLieSlayer]

100% right on target.

“Presidio” as in Tucson, not SF, but I’m back in NYC these days.

[presidio9]

What was it about my post (not to you) that compelled you to respond to it?

[SGCOS]

I really don't see why this is getting so much attention.

He doesn't wear a lapel flag pin.

So what? Neither do I. (But I do have one on my office nameplate at work)

In my opinion, this is such a non-issue.

[alloysteel]

There is a certain degree of intellectual honesty at work here.

But so far as I know, there is no pin for the Worldwide Caliphate. I am not even sure if there is a flag representing the Caliphate. But if there is, it should be widely publicized, and appropriate lapel jewelry should be designed especially for Barack (Saddam) Hussein (Osama) Obama, a crypto-Muslim raised as a citizen of the world.

I am NOT commenting on the Christian aspect of your observation, but there was a very good little book called "Winning Through Intimidation". (How many knew the author is Tom Cruise's father?)

Anyway, he says everyone is out to get what you have, but RUN from the guy in the big white hat who tells you he is the most honest man in the world and you can trust him as opposed to everyone else - that is the one who will really screw you.

Obama actually does fit that mold, because he is proclaiming himself a "true patriot" in fact such a true patriot he doesn't need to wear a flag, support the war, etc - IOW it's a cover for his being a weak patriot, at best.

[steamroller]

what’s up with these a**holes that want to run our country-are they ashamed of the flag?politicians don’t own the flag-we do-it is not a political statement-it is one of appreciation of our nation-i always flew the flag in front of my house-after 9/11 all my neighbors did-now there are just three of us who do-so now it’s easy to give directions-just look for the flag

[ConservatismNow]

Of course they are ashamed of the flag. The flag represents values they do not hold. The flag to a Dem is like a cross to a vampire. I fly my flag everyday as well. Thankfully I’m not the only one.

[AmusedBystander]

Just like Kramer getting assaulted for not wearing the AIDS ribbon while he was marching in the parade?
