There’s an old expression, “Birds of a feather, flock
together,” it means that people of a like mind will seek out, find each other
and join together (Townhall is an example of that). If Obama rejected the words, deeds and philosophies of these
two vile persons (Ayers and Wright) he would not have associated with them, or, if he were brave, he would have
challenged them before it was politically expedient.
There are really only two reasons that Obama would have
continued his relationships with either of these America-hating liars;
cowardice or agreement. (The
claims of ignorance by Obama are preposterous.) So, he either agrees with them, or he is a coward, it really
is that simple. This matters.
I wrote after the first debate:
As I was watching the debate, I was struck by the contrast
on stage.
John McCain’s a hero who stood up for his country and
comrades in the face of torture. John McCain demonstrably loves his country and
truly puts it first by challenging his party when he thinks it’s wrong. John
McCain is a man brave enough to boldly state the greatness of America, even in
places that position is not popular.
Senator McCain stood up to the politics of division when he denounced a
radio host for mocking Barack Obama’s (actual) middle name.
Barack Obama’s a coward, who does not even have the courage
to stand up and leave when his country is attacked from a pulpit in the church
that he voluntarily and regularly attends. Barack Obama, a man so unmistakably
craven that hehas never challenges his party, in fact he does not he even have
the courage to make many tough votes; instead he votes “present.” Barack Obama
attacks the outgoing President so that he does not have to face the hero
Senator. Barack Obama, a man who demeans his country to millions oversees just
to get their adulation. Barack
Obama incited racial division by (falsely) associating Rush Limbaugh and
Senator McCain in a commercial where Limbaugh’s statements were taken out of
context and twisted so that they were filled with hate.
Barack Obama is not ready to lead. He does not have the
courage.
