A little politics

It's an election year, so I figure it's appropriate to talk a bit about politics.  I won't go into the flap over Obama's pastor, I think his "sermons" speak for themselves.  I won't talk about Hillary trying to pad her resume a bit, it's boring.  What I do want to talk about is the political left's true colors.  There are a couple of links in the next paragraph, follow them if you want the full story.

The left spends a great deal of time bad-mouthing America, the military, conservatives, and Christians, then with a quick "We support the troops and we're the real patriots", we're not supposed to question their patriotism or loyalty to this country.  Well, just today I found an interesting story coming from Portland, Oregon.  These protesters in Portland feel that it's appropriate for soldiers to shoot their officers.  They also burned soldiers in effigy along with some other wonderful bits of good clean American fun.

In the past, liberal politicians and their supporters understood that they needed to slide towards the center politically in order to get elected.  They know that if their true feelings and intentions were known, they would never get elected.  This year, however, they feel that their hold on the White House is guaranteed and they're not afraid to show their true colors.  Can we now question their patriotism, their support of the military, their commitment to this country?  I think so.
