Anything to move the topic away from Obama's relationship with Ayers and ACORN. I may have mis-wrote. Upon reflection, "deserve" would have been a better word than "earn." Not that you should mind the opportunity for further deflection from the discussion of Obama's past. To answer your childish "gotch!" question, I believe we have a responsibilitiy to defend -- earn -- all of our rights. Every day, if necessary. Some do it with sweat and blood. Other blowhards like you and me do it from the comfort of our computer stations.
