Suddenly, it may be cool to be an American again
VIENNA, Austria – She was a stranger, and she kissed me. Just for being an American.
It happened on the bus on my way to work Wednesday morning, a few hours after compatriots clamoring for change swept Barack Obama to his historic victory. I was on the phone, and the 20-something Austrian woman seated in front of me overheard me speaking English.
Without a word, she turned, pecked me on the cheek and stepped off at the next stop.
Nothing was said, but the message was clear: Today, we are all Americans.
This is how the children on the left think. When the opposition wins, they all threaten to move to Canada. When their side wins, suddenly the country is ok again.
For some of us, being an American never stopped being cool. Because some of us aren’t in desperate, constant need of approval from foreigners. We love this country because of what it is, not for whoever happens to be in the White House at the moment.
