I disagree with many of the president's policies, but I believe he is a patriot sincerely intent on using his time in office to advance our country's cause. I reject accusations that his policies and beliefs make him unworthy to lead America or opposed to its founding ideals. And I reject accusations that Americans who vigorously oppose his policies are less intelligent, compassionate or just than those who support them.
McCain went on to praise Obama's speech at the memorial of the Tuscon, Arizona shooting. McCain agree with Obama's message that blame for Jared Loughner should not be cast on the Left or Right. This sent Judson Phillips of the Tea Party Nation into a shit fit.
"If Obama were simply incompetent, we might expect that he would occasionally get something right. What we see from Obama is not an incompetent fool. He knows exactly what he is doing. From being raised by a mother who hated America, to associating with America hating communists in his youth, he gravitated to communist, America hating professors in College and associated with America hating political groups until it looked like he might actually go somewhere in his political career.
"Obama is no patriot and neither is McCain. McCain’s supporters always point to the years he spent as a POW in Viet Nam. He did serve this country in ways most of us cannot imagine. But that does not give him a free pass for the rest of his life."
Phillips is attacking the President and a Vietnam POW. Yet Phillips somehow believes he is the true patriot. Apparently, Phillips didn't get the memo about the new tone. The more likely scenario is Phillips got the memo and tossed it in the trash bin.
