patriotism

The patriotism on Veterans Day was colorful in Downtown Austin.

If this is all they’ve got, I truly feel sorry for them.

From The Page comes this direct quote:

There’s been a lot of interest in what I read lately.

Well, I was reading my copy of today’s New York Times and I was really interested to read about Barack’s friends from Chicago.

It represented one of the most shameful of stories. Yet as is always the case with shameful stories, it soon made its way across America.

Apparently an 11-year-old boy in Colorado was suspended from school for failing to remove a t-shirt that school officials had deemed a disruption to the school’s learning environment.

According to MyFOXColorado.com, on a day that students had been asked to show their patriotism by wearing red, white and blue, Dax Dalton wore a home-made shirt that read, “Obama is a terrorist’s best friend.”

I thought this was another great speech by the Illinois senator, not only because it frames patriotism in a way that I think a majority of Americans can relate to, but also because it speaks to the idea of dissent being patriotic.

Take a look…
