Our Awful Situation

McCain’s “greater cause”

Posted by patriot on April 2nd, 2008

This just in: John McCain thinks that American should get off their butts and do something greater than themselves. This coming from the man who has supported a plethora of horrible legislation, and has lived on the taxpayer’s dime for his entire life.

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.”

McCain, who would be the oldest person ever elected to a first presidential term, said Americans need to take up a cause greater than themselves — join the military, help feed the hungry, seek public office.

“If you find faults with our country, make it a better one,” he said.

McCain said some are cynical because they have suffered economic dislocations while others profit as never before, and in part, it is a “reaction to government’s mistakes and incompetence and to the selfishness of some public figures.”

He came close to calling some Americans spoiled, saying they are cynical because their wealth and opportunity have “led them to the mistaken conclusion that America, and the liberties its system of government is intended to protect, just aren’t important to the quality of their lives.”

Yes, Mr. McCain, I find one fault with our country. That is, that a man like you can even be considered worthy of the office of President.
