I’m a patriot! During the short time that Obama is President, I want the country to succeed, but I do NOT want his Liberalism to succeed. I’m a patriot!

You are right, patriotism has nothing to do with the person of the President, it pertains only to the country. Patriotism not require blind allegiance to a man. There was plenty of opposition to John Adams, while he was the elected President.

Obama is a cult personality, I don’t have to drink the Kool-Aid to support my country. As a matter of fact, opposing the acts of this man is an act of pure patriotism.

It is Obama, who is lacking in Patriotism, because he hates the institutions that define this country, and wants to CHANGE them.

Dissent against Republicans and anything pro-American, and well-wishes for socialists and praise for anything anti-American. That’s patriotic - American-style.

I thought dissent was a patriotic act?

That's only when non-Democrats are in power. Silly you!

Redefining “patriotism” in an Orwellian 180 degree opposite, to cover for the Chicago and Clinton Machines looting the trillion dollar completely unsupervised bailout money.

It isn’t Orwellian. It is Stalinist. It is lies, deceit, and propaganda.

Orwellian was writing about Stalinism.

I want Obama to suffer complete and total epic failure of his anti Constitution, anti life, anti capitalism, anti American agenda.

I want the same, plus bankruptcy, for the enemedia.

I want him to succeed in reversing his Marxist, racist nature.

I want to be completely wrong in my assessment of his character.

I don’t think I’m going to get what I want.

Well, I reckon that depends on what he is trying to do.

I'll let God, the Constitution, and my concience be my guide.

I don't need some danged liberal trying to tell me how to think. (They sure do a lot of that, though.)

Ahh, the old “two wrongs make a right” logic we get from so many Freepers.

What do you propose? That we play nice? That doesn't work on the left. If we play nice they'll just run us over, like they did the past 8 years. I would've thought the conservative movement had learned this lesson by now.

Of course, everybody wants the government to succeed. The question is whether you believe it will succeed…

My advice for Obama:

"If at first you don't succeed, try, try again. Then quit. There's no use being a damn fool about it." - W.C. Fields

Now they're lecturing us cynics on the meaning of "patriotism?" That's not what we heard for the past four years when the Left worked relentlessly to destroy President Bush. I have no intention - and no interest - in helping Obama become "a success." In fact, just the opposite. It will be my sublime pleasure to see him go down hard. As a patriot, I remember the words, "pride goeth before a fall." So will it be for Obama.

"Show me just what Mohammed brought that was new, and there you will find things only evil and inhuman, such as his command to spread by the sword the faith he preached." - Manuel II Palelologus

Hmmm, that should read, The Idiotorial Board. If a president has goals and values that are inimical to the health and history of the United States, the true patriot will hope that he fails in a spectacularly humiliating fashion.

If you are a real Patriot you hope he fails. It’s clear what his plan is.

Obama's core beliefs is a controlling oligarch rooted in Marxism with him as the leader, which the media and he have hidden from the public.

No American Patriot believes the same as Obama.
