Time Out
The President wasn't the first to say "love it or leave". I even remember the bumper sticker : will the last American leaving Florida please bring the flag.
From the Miami Times June 11, 2010.
"Uh oh. Here we go again. Gov. Charlie Crist signed into law the state's first Hispanic license plate this week. People are already taking sides. Some say it's good, others bad, and still others are convinced it will bring out the racists among us.
The plate reads "UNI-DOS" (UNITED) with a Santa Maria-type ship in the middle of the word. At the bottom, it states "Hispanic Achievers," and in even smaller type, "Since 1513 Helping Communities Prosper," which is as confusing as it is asinine. We had to look it up, but that was the year when Ponce de Leon's expedition first visited Florida. How he helped the community prosper is less certain."
I remember the draft during the Viet Nam War. Some left for Canada to avoid the draft.
And so it is with us. Some think the President is right on and others can't wait to vote him out of office. Wedges issues related to immigration, religion and changing demographics don't need more gasoline to spread the fire.
