Let me be clear that I feel quite fortunate to be an American first and am quite proud to be one (though I refuse to sing that Lee Greenwood song that the Repubs adopted as their anthem.) However, my entire political career, from running around the house as a 4-year-old chanting "Humphrey, Humphrey, he's our man! Nixon belongs in the garbage can!" to watching Kerry get Swift-boated in 2004, I've spent too many elections being disappointed. And always, I hear my mother's words, and her father's words before her, "You're an American first...."

Follow me below the fold for the rest of the story. It's not "game-changing" and certainly not "breaking" but I think it's a good read...
