Yes, we can.

I am proud to be an American.

I do not like everything our government does.

I am proud of my son. I am not proud that it is a constant battle to get him to study his spelling words until 8pm on the night before his spelling test.

I don't carewhat the rest of the world thinks about us. Most of the world is ruled by thugs, dictators, or socialists. I doubt the French really care what we think of France. I doubt the Saudis really care about what we think of Saudi Arabia. I doubt the Chinese really care about what we think about China. Why do we care? But if we do, it sure looks as if Africa loves Bush and America right now. Does that change anyone's opinion of Bush? I doubt it.

I am fortunate to have been born here in the U.S. of A. I am proud to be a part of the processes that keep our country free and strong.

And I'd mojo Kevy if I could. But I can't. So major freakin' visible mojo for him.

Maybe not, but they sure are interested in our election. They love to talk politics. Also, I think it's far more important to have a good foreign policy than saying he/she will fix the economy. In this age of global markets, there's not a lot a president can do to change things, but a bad foreign policy can do a lot of damage. Witness the past 8 years...

Not giving a crap about the rest of the world is an ignorant way to go about life.

I agree, JW- they are sounding a bit desperate. I hope things don't get too down and dirty; we really don't need any more mud-wallowing in this country. I keep hoping Obama doesn't rise to the bait and runs as clean a campaign as he can. Might be naive of me, but that's what I hope.

I join you in your naive hopes!

But if it comes down to Obama vs. McCain (which was my prediction a while back), I predict some ugly mudslinging from the extremist cons.

I'll second your naive hopes and raise you a milkshake.
