Scofflaws and Sophistry

Obama proclaimed last night in an interview with Cynthia McFadden that "we are all patriots-we all love this country". Can the junior Senator from Illinois really be this naive? Do university professors who instruct their charges that America was stolen from first peoples (native Americans or Indians to the uninitiated), built on the backs and blood of Africans (slaves), and maintained by the machinations of colonialist and imperialist white capitalists love this nation? Do streetgang members, Crips and Bloods, MS-13 members, adore the USA? Do Klansmen and white separatists hum "God Bless America" while sorting their laundry? Did the Lackawanna plotters get a warm feeling every time they passed the Stars and Stripes at the post office? Can the American electorate be gulled into putting into the highest office a man who shares the views of Marxist college instructors, who confessed cocaine use in one of his two autobiographies, and who couldn't pass an FBI background check required for any job with a security clearance? Tragically, si se puede.
