“Loyalty to the country always. Loyalty to the government when it deserves it.” -Mark Twain

“My loyalty to my party ends where my loyalty to the country begins.” -Manuel L. Quezon

“A man’s country is not a certain area of land, of mountains, rivers, and woods, but it is a principle; and patriotism is loyalty to that principle.” -George William Curtis

“… the Constitution allows for many things, but what it does not allow is the most revealing. The so-called Founders did not allow for economic freedom. While political freedom is supposedly a cornerstone of the document, the distribution of wealth is not even mentioned. While many believed that the new Constitution gave them liberty, it instead fitted them with the shackles of hypocrisy.”

-Barack Obama

Oh but that was his college years right? 

Then there is this in 2001:

From another thread:

HG:
What pisses me off about this award is the ‘affirmative action’ element of the award. Forget that he hasn’t accomplished anything resembling peace and just give the guy the award for being the first black president to be elected who eloquently speaks of peace. There are plenty of black Americans who have actual accomplishments worthy of celebration and public notariaty. This award is slap in the face. We are Americans, all of us, whether black, brown, yellow, or white. We accomplish whatever we set our hands and mind to and there are plenty of examples to point to without resorting to this sort of pathetic political patronizing.

Hannitized:
“Glad to see you agree affirmative action is racism.”

HG, i said racial, not racism.

But what is it that causes you to assume a Black man can not achieve things with out it being tied to affirmative action?

Answer: Racism.

You can’t even keep up man.

HG:
H,

You’re clueless, boy. Given my comments on this thread it is clear that I am of the persuasion that anyone can accomplish anything regardless of skin color. Try and keep up H.

Hannitized:
Hahaha. HG, using the word boy doesn’t make your racism any less obvious, trust me.

You said this award was based on affirmative action, and that is saying Obama couldn’t have achieved this without being black and with merit.

That’s racism friend.

HG:
That’s ridiculous, but that’s Hannitized.

He didn’t achieve it H, that’s the point. Whether or not Obama could have isn’t even in the context of this award.

Hannitized:
Saying he didn’t achieve it is one thing. Saying he achieved it because he is black…..well…..that’s another.

HG:
I’m trying to help you out here H.

Obama didn’t achieve the Nobel prize, he was awarded it without merit. I am of the opinion that his historic election as the first black president played a role in the decision to award him this prize. I don’t think it a stretch in the least to say Obama’s race played a role in this decision.

When a black college student gains admission to a college in the place of a higher achieving student of a different race, that’s affirmative action. That’s racism.

Pointing out racism isn’t racist, nor does it mean that I think black Americans cannot achieve what Americans of a different race can.

Hannitized:
…
Claiming Obama didn’t get the award for his accomplishment of setting a new US foreign policy tone, that is opposite of George Bush’s, because of his skin color…...is essentially you saying that he isn’t good enough to deserve it, and he only got it because he is inferior and need a leg up on the white man, who is superior…....is racist.…

HG:
H, you’re a mess, boy. You have grossly mischaracterized my words by ignoring much of what I said and the context in which I said it. But everyone reading my comments, other than yourself, can see that.

On another thread:

Hannitized:

And racial discrimination is not a sign of racism, unless the is based upon a person believing one race is superior to the other. Sort of like when HG claimed Obama wasn’t good enough to have earned a prize, and that only whites who are superior awarded him the prize out of guilt of being superior, to get a leg up on the whites.

Arrest warrants have been issued in Miami for 11 people suspected of falsifying information on hundreds of voter registration cards—including registering the name of the late actor Paul Newman—the Florida state attorney told FOXNews.com.

The FBI and state authorities took seven people into custody Wednesday as it issued 11 arrest warrants for voter registration fraud in Homestead, Fla., in June 2008.

Florida state attorney Katherine Fernandez-Rundle said 11 workers hired to register voters by the Association of Community Organizations for Reform Now—or ACORN—submitted 888 fraudulent names.  She said the names included people who were already registered voters, fictitious names, and the name of the late actor Paul Newman, who died in Sept. 2008.
