I suppose my interest was, what or how he could tell or define what patriotism was to me?....I certainly was struck by his eloquence and public speaking ability. I have to admit I agreed with him on just about every point. What I didn't agree on is the things he did not say. Just like his "Race" speech when the controversy about his Pastor came to light, it was not what he said but rather what he did not say.......He did this when he said that dissent to a country's policies is not unpatriotic, and thats true, but where is the line drawn between legitimate dissent and illegitimate. Burning the flag? disrupting a hearing on capitol Hill?, Chaining yourself to a Marine Corps recruiting station? Spitting on a soldiers uniform? or maybe calling the President an SOB or a stupid MF.....Senator you said "I believe those who attack America's flaws without acknowledging the singular greatness of our ideals, and their proven capacity to inspire a better world, do not truly understand America." Name names Senator let us hear as examples just who you are talking about.......Anyway it was a good speech and I liked it just wish he could have said more...... | |
