Throughout the campaign there has been many accusations thrown around between the two campaigns. The ones that are the most pathetic are the ones that question UNITED STATES senator Barack Obama's patriotism. First, we all remember the great debate of our time-flag lapel pins. People were very distubred that Obama did not wear one. What could this mean? He hates his country? He is a secret muslim terrorist? Four words- Give...Me...A...Break. As a United States senator, who is running for president, do you really think he does not love this country? Since when have we cared about what people wear as what defines them instead of what they have accomplished in their life. Barack Obama spent the last 12 years devoted to making this country better. The second great issue of our time-putting your hand over your heart during star spangeld banner or the pledge. This is just another NON issue, that people focus on. Some how people think these two thing make him Muslim. When I first saw that people actually though he was a muslim I thought it was a joke. Surely no one could believe this, considering you would just need a newspaper, the internet, or common sense to know that it was completely false. Yet to my suprise many people seriously believe this garbage. For the people who are unwilling to research truth, I will spell it out for you. No, Obama was not sworn in on the Quran. No, Obama did not attend a muslim school growing up. No, Obama has never been muslim. Its like, was there not a giant controversy when Obama's pastor said some controversial things about America? Once again common sense here people, a pastor is a head of a christian church.
A combination of these things are a desperate attempt for the Mccain camp to instill fear in the minds of Americans. For what we dont know, we tend to fear. These things are trivial and a distraction from issues that really matter. We are at a turning point with very important decisions that are to be made once the new president is elected. Are you gonna vote for someone because they wear a lapel pin and yet dont offer any policies that are gonna fix our country. Or are you gonna put the trivial stuff aside and vote for someone who represents and will bring about change.
P.S.
Ummm....where is Mccain's flag pin? Im getting a little worried.
