  • Hey Schulz family…skip the graduation if it is so disturbing for you. Problem solved.

  • I suffer “irreparable harm” every time Chris Matthews opens his moth…Get my attorney on the phone!

  • and some idiots want to put the government in charge of healthcare…..go figure.

  • The only decision Obama has made that I have agreed with was his “Kill not capture order on Osama”. Now, it turns out that he didn’t even do that…figures.

  • America has been a champion of this-an-that, but….”. It’s the ”but” that always stands out with him.

    The result of this is not just that he doesn’t wear “red, white and blue” all the time, but that I fear that his agenda does not place America first and foremost, that he makes decisions based on his focus on our failings rather than our true nature. His first reaction is to doubt us rather than to count on us.

  • President Obama is not American

    That statement has nothing to do with where he was born. Regardless of place of birth, you can be an American. President Obama may have been born in Hawaii (I don’t know), but he grew up abroad. His father wasn’t an American citizen and his mother married two non-citizens while spending her life outside this country. In his early years, he grew up in foreign lands, was educated in schools and countries that have significant radical elements that despise America as the “Great Satan” and with parents and family that held less than positive views of our nation.

    In the most formative years of early youth and adolescence, he did not grow up in American schools learning American history, or celebrating George Washington Day or President Lincoln Day, saying the Pledge of Allegiance, or being exposed to any of the other millions of day to day influences that shape a child of America in those precious years. Not until fifth grade or later did he come to America. Now, that does not prevent a person from becoming American. Our great nation has millions of naturalized citizens that came here for the opportunity, the freedom, the “ideals” of America. Those wonderful citizens are some of the most ardent Americans, because “who we are” and the dream and promise of America is what brought them here. But that is not what brought him back or his family back. He was shipped back to live with his grandparents, while his mother and step father chose to live in Africa and Indonesia.

    Those primary feelings of “pride and love” for this country seem to be missing in President Obama. He doesn’t show the natural confidence or love of this nation in his reactions or speeches that would indicate a core pride and belief that we are exceptional. He doesn’t seem to have that innate love and pride in our country that most of us have. We all know that our great nation has made mistakes and has shameful periods in our history. We also all KNOW, in our core, that we have been the greatest provider of freedom and opportunity and charity and liberty that the world has ever seen. After listening and watching President Obama for the past three years, I don’t think he was chanting “U-S-A…U-S-A…U-S-A…” when the US Olympic Hockey Team beat the Russians in the Lake Placid Olympics. Do you? President Obama’s speeches that talk about America always seem to be about what he “wants us to become” after recounting our past failings. His orations seem to be either without any acknowledgement of what we have accomplished and given to the world so far or to downplay those achievements and characteristics. In fact, he appears almost unable to speak positively about America without immediately talking about our mistakes and shortcomings in the very same sentence. In listening and reviewing his speeches, I can’t tell you the number of times his comments start with “…America has been a champion of this-an-that, bu

  • NOW….Rosie….Maddow….Behar….Pelosi…they don’t have time to condemn the treatment of women in the Islamic world…they’re too busy condemning Palin and Bachmann.

  • What a shocker…not.

    She will get more air time in MSM than Ryan. Does Massachusetts have the worst electorate in the nation? Kennedy, Brown, Collins, Frank…give me a break. Can we just let Mass, California, NY, Washington state, Oregon and DC form their own damn socialist country and be done with it!

  • She is a walking advertisement for gerrymandering that district OUT of existence!
