So McCain says that Americans are cynical and we are only interested in coffee

[Cali_Democrat]

Imagine if Obama said this...

Asked by Imus what his father and grandfather, who were both admirals, would have thought of his Naval Academy tenure, McCain said it would not have mattered.

"Neither of them were accorded any special honors upon their graduation," he said.

Turning to the future, McCain said Americans are cynical about their country and their idea of liberty is "the right to choose among competing brands of designer coffee."

Where's the outrage? Where's the backlash? Of course there will be no outrage because McCain is a white man. If Obama said this he would be roasted by the corporate media. Hillary supporters and Republicans would bash him like crazy. Just look at how much heat Obama took for some of the things his wife said, they didn't even have to come out of his own mouth.

Crazy white Republican preacher that blames gays for 9/11? No problem.

Crazy black Democrat preacher that blames US foreign policy for 9/11? Shame on you Barack Obama!!!!

It's funny because Wright is right about 9/11.

2. Freedom of Choice

In ancient rome there was a poem about a dog who found two bones
He picked at one. He licked the other. He went in circles. He dropped dead.

Freedom of choice is what you got. Freedom from choice is what you want.

4. I can actually see the point McCain is trying to make

But imagine if these words came out of Obama's mouth.

5. I'm not sure of what group of Americans McCain is talking about

My idea of liberty is for president's to keep their hands off the constitution. And I also believe chickenhawks are free to join the military and go to Iraq. Today!

I truly love a good cuppa coffee. Relevance to liberty? I guess ya have to have conservative values to understand the old coot.
