And who is saying that now, stupid? The entire conservative herd, that's who. Nice. I've never seen a bunch of faux patriots compare to the likes of "YOU people."
Disagreeing with the president and disliking his policies is not unAmerican. However, calling people who disagree with the president unAmerican IS unAmerican.
Were you one of those who rejoiced when AMERICA lost the Olympic bid? Have you been rejoicing this morning over all the criticism of an AMERICAN President winning the Nobel Peace Prize? That attitude has NOTHING to do with his "policies," my friend. It has EVERYTHING to do with the fact that you love America only when it abides by your own personal principles.
What do you suppose the framers of the Constitution meant by "We The People"?? Only those currently in power? Only a select segment of society? Perhaps they should have added a postscript to the Preamble that said something like "...but no fighting" which might have made partisanship illegal.
What are the criteria by which people are awarded the Nobel Peace Prize? I don't know the exact wording, but I think it has something to do with promoting fraternity among nations and international peace, etc. What power does a president have to affect these things? His/Her policies. As for the Olympics, I think that the president going to Denmark on behalf of Dick Daly was absurd. It had nothing to do with policy, but no president should be wasting their time on something like this. It was more than enough for the first lady and Oprah to be there. You're right about my particular reason for opposing the trip to Copenhagen (which cost the taxpayers millions btw) was not policy related. I don't rejoice that the president failed, but I would rejoice if that failure discourage such pointless distractions in the future.
