I Love the Baseball Fans in St Louis - part 1

These comments are from the St. Louis Post-Dispatch newspaper announcing that All-Star first baseman Albert Pujols will catch the ceremonial first pitch at the Al Star game from President Obama. Pujols will be surrounded, not by Secret Service, but by the six living Cardinals Hall-of-Famers - Stan Musial, Red Schoendiest, Bob Gibson, Lou Brock, Bruce Sutter, and Ozzie Smith. Again, they show the incredible insight of Cardinals fans ... well, all except the first one.

Albert Pujols has done so much for Down Syndrome children and he is a shining example of Christian virtues so I can only wonder is he really knows what sort of individual Barack Husein Obama really is. Obama’s Tonight Show insult to special needs children, his advocacy of partial-birth abortion and his declaration that America is no longer a Christian nation should be enough to keep Albert in the dugout in protest. On a larger note, after 43 years of waiting St. Louis finally is hosting the All-Star Game and now it will be ruined by having the man who is committed to destroying everything that made our nation great throw out the first pitch. Resist NOW, say NO to Obama!

Stay classy, Phil. I know The President of the United States probably isn’t as good of Christian as say, Mark Sanford, John Ensign, Newt Gingrich, David Vitter and Larry Craig, Dick Cheney or George Bush. But use you overflowing Christian charity to pray for President Obama, rather than condemn him. P.S. I think you’ll be safe in your bunker in Lincoln County.

I hope and pray that Stan has a wonderful night and that the whole world honors a great man and great Cardinal, better late than never. And to any idiot that would boo the President, you are not a patriot. The man has the worst job in the world, he was given an impossible situation with which to deal and is making an honest effort to try to right the ship, I don’t agree with everything he does but he is my President and I’m glad he’ll be in St. Louis. I’m a conservative, but you far right wing, intolerant, hate mongers do not and never will speak for me.

The President of The United States will be in our town to celebrate something we all love, BASEBALL. Get over your petty politics and savor the moment. Unless of course you are a traitor to the U.S. and the constitution. In which case, please stay at home and do not embarrass the rest of us civilized patriots and REAL baseball fans. Go National League!

“Show that you care about America! Boo Obama!”

Yeah, that’s the ticket. Show the world that St. Louis is full of angry wingnuts who can’t show respect for the President of the United States at a non-political event.

That’s exactly the right way to play this … NOT!

I can’t wait to have the honor of our president, and first black president that is, throwing the first pitch at the All-Star game here in St. Louis. To the first three commenters…why can’t we go one article without someone insulting Obama. To go along with cardsandcats, he was put into a situation that no president would like to deal with, and was the result of a horrible administration before him. Don’t ruin this great moment for our city with your far right wing ignorant comments. GO CARDS!
