I sure felt a lot different yesterday as I watched the President speak before the United Nations than I felt when the former President of the US spoke. Damn, this time I was all proud and everything. Not once did I want to cover my face due to embarrassment. What a change a few months can make.
Hiya PoP!! I hear you. At long last I can listen to the national anthem without feeling shame.
ReplyDeleteback in 2005, on [appropriately enough] April Fool's Day, a day of mourning was proclaimed.
ReplyDeleteI wore a brown armband to commemorate the US that was and to proclaim my shame at being an American.
Last January 20, I burned that armband. Hoooooooraaaaayyyy!
