American "Exceptionalism"?

Bullshit!!! That was a lousy article.

God, guns, and guts made America great!!! Being at the right place at the right time didn't hurt anything either.

I'd rather be lucky as good any day!!!

Americans are a lot like everyone else. We put our pants on one leg at a time, we shit between our legs...and it don't smell like roses.

For what it's worth, I won't wrap myself in the flag, but I won't burn it either.

But I will contend, America has been a positive influence on the world. Most of the time.

I am proud to be an American. I just think that we don't have to spend all that much time patting ourselves on the back. I was always taught that if you're good enough at something you don't have to talk about it, but you let your success speak for you. I think there was enough arrogance in our foreign policy during the previous eight years that it's now a good idea to take a more diplomatic tone.

There is a time to talk, and a time to fight.

While you may disagree, I think what Shrub did was right for the time, much as what Obummer is doing is also right for the time.

Being critical of one's opponents is far too easy. For the most part, they are really no different than you or I.

They simply do the best that they can, given the circumstances.
