“Is She Prepared To Be Comander In Chief?”, this ugly question has been put on the table by liberal media shortly after Sarah Palin’s nomination for republican vicepresident. Liberals (I prefer the to call them “socialists” althought this is not typical for America) suggested that it was reasonable to ask this question because Senator Mccain was 72 year old. I think it is a lack of good manners to speculate with any possible issues with the health of the next president of United States without having a medical expertise.

It is also disgusting to listen how liberals try to disparage the republican vice presidential nominee Mrs Palin. They ask does she have political experience? Sure, and it is much better than all the speeches Senator Obama gave in his remarkable career as junior Senator in Congress.

I must admit that I didn’t expected the vice presidential nominee Sarah Palin to look so prepared to enter the White House. Her understanding on what Obama and Biden represent, she expressed on Republican National Convention was probably the most accurate one I’ve heard until now.

“Government is to big. He wants to grow it” said Mrs Palin about Sen. Obama. She also said “There is much to like and admire about our opponents… but this is a man who offfered two larger memoirs, but not a single major law or even a reform… not even in the State Senate”. And also “This is a man of can give entire speech about the wars America is fightinh and never use the word victory except when he is talking about his own campaign”!

But let me finish here. Just see Sarah Palin’s speech and make your own judgement about how prepared is she to become vice president of the United States.

Do you find something wrong with Michelle Obama’s words “for the first time in my adult lifetime, I am really proud of my country”? I think I do… at least from conservative point of view. These words dishonor at least one of the meanings of the American patriotism - the one that refers to the past and to the history of a great nation. But they also show a lack of understanding what America is.

They also question all the achievements of Mr. Obama until this presidential campaign and also the past history of the african-american human right activists and politicians. Because Obama is not a isolated example for black politician who achieved something big in U.S. politics. He is just good politician, at least from Democratic point of view.

I understand the liberal point of view that patriotism is a choice, not a just a reverence to the past. It is a choice for those who belong to the fist generation in families that never wrote a success story. But at the same time the world didn’t begin yesterday or in the day someone was born. The social and political tradition of any society determines its present and future. This makes means that liberal view of patriotism is authentic but not exceptional. There’s no choice today for a society which never made choices in the past.

That’s why I really think that Obamas’ understanding of patriotism is wrong or just politically incorrect. It dishonors the American tradition of freedom.
