More on Rudy's View

Lucianne.com links to a Mediaite article which references a HuffPost/YouGov poll asking people if they believe Obama loves America. Unsurprisingly, 85% of Democrats said yes and roughly 70% of Republicans said no. Independents split basically evenly, 42% yes vs. 38% no.

Lumping all three groups together, less than half (47%) see clear evidence Obama loves America. Some 35% believe he doesn't, and 18% have no opinion or refuse to answer.

In addition to the question about Obama's feelings, respondents were asked about their own personal love of country, or lack thereof. The poll's most interesting finding is that 15% of respondents under 30 say they do not love America. Given the large number of unemployed or underemployed Millennials still living with parents, we shouldn't be surprised.

As you would guess, liberals are more likely (13%) to say they don't love America compared with moderates (5%) or conservatives (4%). Fortunately for our country, large majorities of all parties and groups do love America, even liberals and the young.

Lucianne.com also links to a Breitbart Big Government story which references a post on the Facebook page of Rev. Franklin Graham, son of and successor to Rev. Billy Graham. Graham writes concerning whether Obama doesn't love America:
I don't know if that's true or not, but I do know that the president defends Islam and chastises Christians, rebukes our allies and befriends our enemies, and fully supports gay marriages and abortion but denies the religious freedoms of those who don't agree.
In other words, Obama's behavior is that of a person who does not much love America.
