Ayers: "On this July 4, we would do well to renounce nationalism and all its symbols: its flags, its pledges of allegiance, its anthems, its insistence in song that God must single out America to be blessed. Is not nationalism — that devotion to a flag, an anthem, a boundary so fierce it engenders mass murder — one of the great evils of our time, along with racism, along with religious hatred?"
I think you can pretty well get the idea what Ayers thinks of America. Fine. He can think that if he wants.
Here's what I want to know: What kind of politician would a guy like this choose to support — not only support, but host a fundraiser for in his home? Ayers hosted this event for Obama in 1995. It was a time when Obama was looking to emerge on the scene in Chicago politics, and Ayers was sufficiently enthusiastic about Obama to go to the trouble of inviting friends, neighbors and colleagues to meet him and contribute money.
Read Ayers's blog. Look around. Do you get the impression that this is a guy who will just go out of his way to get behind any politician without first ascertaining that they shared the same agenda?
Bill Ayers saw something in Barack Obama that made him very enthusiastic about supporting him. He didn't just put up a yard sign for him. He hosted the fundraiser that introduced him onto the political scene. This man — who thinks America is the primary terrorist in the world, and whose disdain for love of country is so deep that he wants to abolish our flag and national anthem — was convinced he had found a kindred spirit in Barack Obama.
Why?
Why indeed.
