The Perfect Obot

From the NRO Corner, in response to the debate:

Was anybody else appalled by Barack Obama's approving invocation last night of his mother's having been on food stamps at one point in his childhood? Obama's mother was not a poor, uneducated sharecropper in Mississippi, the sort of person for whom the food stamp program was designed. She was a hippie dippy grad student bumming around the world, reportedly discovering the superiority of other cultures (i.e., the ones that weren't providing her with food stamps) to that of her native land. She did, in a way, foreshadow the perfect Obama voter: the callow grad student, critical of the U.S. but nevertheless unashamed to enjoy its beneficence. 

I thought this was worth passing along for the last sentence.  I believe this stereotype is accurate.  I have always found it ironic and disappointing how so many people who follow the Democrat Left simultaneously bash and trash this country while milking the benefits of it for all they're worth.  If this place is so horrendous, why don't they just leave?  No one is stopping them.  The reality is that this is the greatest place on earth to be living, and now is the best time to be living here.  Even those who hate America and bash it at every opportunity know that.

Actions speak louder than words, and in this case, these people's actions cry hypocrite much louder than any words they may actually say.

There's my two cents.
