It's a good thing Republicans have been questioning President Obama's patriotism -- finally! -- because it turns out they're just saying what we've all been thinking: Obama probably doesn't love America. A new Huffington Post/YouGov poll found that less than half -- 47 percent -- of our fellow USians believe the president loves this country. The rest are damned sure he doesn't or at least think it's in doubt. You will be shocked (no you won't, that's sarcasm) to learn this is a highly partisan question: 85 percent of Democrats believe yes he does, 69 percent of Republicans know for a fact he does not, and 113 percent of Fox viewers still can't find Hawaii on a map. (That wasn't actually part of the poll; we're just guessing.)
Specifically, only the United States east of the Rockies is the globe in their view. The west coast apparently doesn't exist, even though this non-existent place is constantly denounced by wingnuts.
What this country needs what every country needs occasionally is a good hard bloody war to revive the vice of patriotism on which its existence as a nation depends. - Ambrose Bierce
Patriotism. Combustible rubbish ready to the torch of any one ambitious to illuminate his name. - Ambrose Bierce
If Obama called a press conference and stated only "I'm black." then walked off, in subsequent polls 69% of Republicans would deny that he is black or question it just because they don't want to appear to agree with him.
It's Obama's own fault. He should have named his book "Dreams of My Father, who wished he was a real American like me and loved America as much as I do".
Yeah, but of course there needs to be a BIG asterisk, in that they are polling people who will actually talk to pollsters. Wonder what % of the American public that comes to?
Dear Founding Fathers:Sorry that we let the whole "more perfect Union" to "promote the general Welfare" thing that you worked so hard to put together go all to shit.

Fox News would spend an entire day tearing down that statement because Obama is only half black.
To destroy us, of course.

Destroy us with healthcare and prosperity...that evil, crafty Muslin.
If Obama loved America, he would fuck it like Dubya did.
Sometimes I find it really, really hard to like my fellow Americans.
100% of people chose Barabbas.

So it's like being "Christian," except you substitute "CUNTRY" for "JEESUS."

Barbara Boxer for at least Vice President please.
He couldn't even cease to exist right.Unless maybe he used his time machine to prevent his own birth...

Your Descendants.
Sad to say that was THE highlight of McCain's campaign.
