I simply have enough to worry about trying to love this bumpy country we made over HERE, and I never saw the appeal in getting all starry-eyed over those people whose asses we kicked at Yorktown. *g*
Sing it!
You know, I have been hit with a sudden WAVE of love for America lately, and it somehow seems tied to how BAD and AWFUL and TERRIBLE and EMBARRASSING it is to be an American now. But I love this country like an ugly dog - I'm not fond of the bad breath and the tumors and the fucked up eye - but...that's a goddam good dog. This is a good country, with good people in it, and we're going to OVERCOME, and I believe it now, even though I wake up every day and think things couldn't get worse.
