Sen. John McCain on Monday slammed what he described as "spurious, half-baked nationalism" rising in the United States and elsewhere.
Many took the remarks as veiled jabs at President Donald Trump and one of his former key White House advisers, Breitbart publisher Steve Bannon. McCain made the remarks as he accepted the National Constitution Center's Liberty Medal in Philadelphia. Former Vice President Joe Biden presented McCain with the medal.
"To fear the world we have organized and led for three-quarters of a century, to abandon the ideals we have advanced around the globe, to refuse the obligations of international leadership and our duty to remain 'the last best hope of earth' for the sake of some half-baked, spurious nationalism cooked up by people who would rather find scapegoats than solve problems is as unpatriotic as an attachment to any other tired dogma of the past that Americans consigned to the ash heap of history," McCain said.
McCain's words were interrupted by loud cheers and applause.
"We live in a land made of ideals, not blood and soil," he continued. "We are the custodians of those ideals at home, and their champion abroad. We have done great good in the world. That leadership has had its costs, but we have become incomparably powerful and wealthy as we did. We have a moral obligation to continue in our just cause, and we would bring more than shame on ourselves if we don't. We will not thrive in a world where our leadership and ideals are absent. We wouldn't deserve to."

Its becoming more clear that McCain and much of his staff have been spying for the RATS since 911.
We suspected this was the case as the RATS had advance knowledge of just about every plan GWB had in mind.
They also seemed to know exactly who could be flipped on a critical vote.
John and Joe, two peas in a pod. I needn’t say more.
The one world/no borders free migration globalists are seeking the cultural destruction of the American nation. It is vitally important for the American people to know who they are as individuals and their evil intent.
What does this mean? We live in a land today that is a reality, not built on a pipe of dream of “Hope and Change.”
McCain was trying to hang a Nazi slogan on the "half-baked nationalism". Just like the rest of the Democrats do.
The Constitution group who hand out these medals actually had a good beginning the the early 80s. The first recipient was Lech Walesca. And then George Bush was asked to be on the board and then he asked Bill Clinton to be on the board. Now they only hand out medals to people who they deem as worthy those who espouse their version of liberty. Which is crap.
Half-brain, full ahole.
I know he is “brain dead”, but why isn’t he actually dead yet?
so what’s he going to say about THIS story?
there are those who think he was in the thick of it..
Doesn’t anyone ever just die anymore?
Yeah, Biden. Nationalism...you wouldn’t want a sovereign, strong and independent United States. You’re nothing more than a turd and groping traitor.
McCain; Corker; McConnell; Di-Fi; Piglosi; Schumer; Clintons, Obamas; Bushes...
Every so often the soil gets weak, can't grow the produce and trees, so the birds have food, the bees can't make honey...
It's time for fresh fertilizer...
“Which is crap.”
And a joke.
Globalist’s/swamp creatures secret of longevity...baby parts.
He has contradicted himself so many times. The left always kept him around as a pet monkey so he could fling his feces at the Republicans. McCain always obliged them. Except when he ran, then he was Joe Right Wing.
I am sick of this windbag.
Speech was not even making sense.
His brain tumor has accelerated his ability to think just like the mentally ill loons on the Left.
McPain is a small, petty, pitiful man. Time for him to be put out to pasture is beyond its expiration date.
It’s about time the Dems gave McCain a medal.
>It’s about time the Dems gave McCain a medal.
Communist Uber Allies of the Year award?
John McCain has long perpetrated a fraud on the American people by claiming to be something he is definitely not: a conservative acting for the good of the American people. I guess as he approaches death, he is defiantly confessing his guilt before the people he defrauded for so many years. Instead of getting an award from a Democrat, he should be resigning in utter shame and humiliation.
That's not America's job! And these AH's like McCain were attempting to prop up, "The World" that on the backs of the American taxpayers. What a globalist stooge McCain is.
Spit*
He really has deteriorated mentally. I don’t wish him any ill will, but he is doing damage to the country by still being in office in his condition.
