Yes, of course he can say his views. And also in America we have the freedom also to question anyones patriotism or anything else for that matter. However, I am sick and tired of the people who act like they despise our country and its foundations etc-quick to pick it apart yet they stay here to live-maybe even trying there utmost to willy out of taxes and civic duties. I say in my mind to those: maybe they should go live in Iraq or where ever else if it is so much better than here. We will see what happens when we are under attack or our allies are and they want our governments help or protection.

McCain didn't say it, but one on his campaign said America has become a nation of whiners. People did not like that very much-but it is true! I say, Well said! America stops being great when America stops being good...and united. He should have also mentioned a few other things.
