Proud to be an American
Thursday, November 6th, 2008
For the first time in a decade, I’m proud to be an American.
For a long time it seemed that Americans were fundamentally broken at some level. Inexplicably, we gave our full support to an infantile, aggressive, simpleton. Finally we’ve backed someone who talks about striving for peace or the absence of violence over “fighting for freedom”. Rather than an angry, little man, our president comes across as a kind, gentle man. He may be overly idealistic to accomplish everything he’s set out to do, but the main thing I’m looking for in my president is someone that is fundamentally good at heart. Given that, others things fall into place.
