BE SURE TO PASS OUR ARTICLES ON TO KIN, FRIENDS AND COLLEAGUES
Meghan McCain: Still crying over her father, a war criminal, but also the man who made her a celebrity. It's an inevitable fact of life that in most cases the kin of criminals will have glowing opinions of them, hence their opinions have to be filtered with extra caution. Not to mention this woman was acculturated in a rich family of longstanding rightwing/imperialist affiliations, deepening the exceptionalist brainwash afflicting most Americans.
[dropcap]O[/dropcap]n Saturday, January 26th, the famous daughter of the deceased U.S. Senator and Republican Presidential nominee in 2008 John McCain, said:
“As an American, I hate this country without him in it. I know that sounds awful. I don’t hate America, but I just hate it without his leadership. I’m very — I’m sad all the time.”
Here is the context, as provided at a website “Grabien” (along with a garbled video-clip from CNN’s “Van Jones Show,” where she said this (but which program doesn’t yet post the video):
McCAIN: “The first thing I have to say is that I’m surrounded with support. I try not to feel bad for myself. I just don’t — I think he would be terribly pissed if I walked around that way. I learned that grief is a taboo. It makes people uncomfortable. Almost five months out since he I’m sad every single day. I don’t think there’s anything wrong with sharing that. I have moments where I think that I just can’t do anything anymore without him. It’s a weird place to be in in so many different ways. As a daughter I’m grieving and as an American, I hate this country without him in it. I know that sounds awful. I don’t hate America but I hate it without his leadership. I’m very — I’m sad all the time. I’m struggling with that sadness. I miss him in ways that I never could have fathomed. I try to say what would my dad say and he’d say we are McCains. We don’t feel sorry for ourselves. We’re blessed, and get up and keep fighting (applause).”

I was born in Ukraine, my grand mother, uncles, aunts and cousins still live in Chernovtsi which is in the West of Ukraine (and is also where Mila Kunis is from) and I can tell you from experience as I have visited there many times that people there also mostly speak Russian, the people who speak Ukrainian are the poor farm people or red neck like. These Ukrainians who are pushing for the Ukrainian language to be the only language in Ukraine are the Banderas, they are anti semitic, Anti Russian neo nazis, literally they are skin heads and I feel sad my country (America) is supporting these idiots, I was talking to my Uncle in Ukraine on Skype 2 days ago and he said they are calling up all the young men for war and they are going on a suicide mission against Russia only because Obama is giving these nazis money and supplies so they traded in their swastika arm bands for suits to look more official but they are still skin head ass wholes. Obama is making bad moves, first he supported a terrorist organization called the Muslim Brotherhood in Egypt and now this, WTF America? Why can't we stop this Idiot shit for brains Obama? He is involving us in a greater conflict with Russia that anyone can even imagine and we just sit quietly at home.
What will it take to bring America to live according to its own self image?
