Barack Obama keynote at '04 DNC Convention (part 2)

This speech lowered my opinion of Obama.
"Absolute faith" of any kind is a vice, not a virtue. Love of and commitment to political ideals should be stated as such, not in the language of unconditional attachment to one's country. No one is born with a moral duty to support the government of their place of birth. Patriotism is overrated and parochial; it's just another form of in-group morality and nepotism. Division is a necessary and inevitable prerequisite and product of freedom. Politicians who deride division are fascists at heart. Doubt is good and necessary. Only fools and liars say they have no doubt. He seems to feel pride too easily and incorrectly proclaim the moral supremacy of America. His life story could happen in most member countries of the European Union.
