“So if I show up to your next party in my kilt, are pictures of me dressed in the garb of my ancestral home going to make you nervous about my loyalties to America? ”

Guess that depends on what sort of colorful native garb you’re decked out in. Show up to that party in a Waffen SS costume and that might raise a few eyebrows.

That the photo is being used as a supposed negative speaks volumes about the desperation of the Clinton campaign.

It really is a silly picture. As usual, Rebecca is right in her assessment.

The picture doesn’t bother me much, except that it is kind of silly. Politicians are always dressing up in local garb when they travel. It’s the same thing as kissing babies and shaking hands until your skin bleeds. No, I have other, far more substantial reasons for not voting for Mr. Obama.

Kipling is widely misunderstood, period. And that’s a pity, because he is so forthright in his writings.

Of course, these days, when you get hit with the racism charge, true or not, a lot of people blindly accept it, and the stigma is carried for life.

Myself, I don’t see Obama as Gunga Din; I see him as an opportunistic politician, pandering to the masses for the power that he craves.
