A Fresh Perspective

So there I was at a local Friday night high school football game, when the band struck up the national anthem.  After removing my hat, my hand placed on my heart, and facing Old Glory, something occurred to me that struck me as, well, obvious. 

Maybe it was from listening to the worst in politics, (you know, the constant drumbeat of liberalism with its un-American big-gov’t refrain and the completely out of tune restrictions on liberty), that had cast such a dark shadow on my perspective of my country.  But something clicked the moment I heard the anthem and saw my flag.  Immediately all that Old Glory represents made me appreciate once again the blessings of liberty.  In other words, I was as proud as I had ever been to be an American.

And despite the highly biased propaganda we get from the MSM, most of America is with you.  The America haters are a small, but highly vocal and highly overrepresented minority.

Leftie political philosophy, from a DU commenter:

It doesn’t matter if it’s true or not. RUMOR IS TRUTH. The modern laws of media hype and political warfare have a useful tenet: Repeat ANYTHING or raise false concern over ANYTHING and it is likely to be planted in the conscious/subconscious of many voters.

It’s natural to want to grumble about stuff like taxes, big government and countless other peeves.

I have the cure for anyone that has serious doubts about this country.  Go live for a spell somewhere overseas. You’ll gain some valuable perspective.

The hair on my neck still stands up when Old Glory unfurls. Far too many young Americans gave their best and did what they had to do under the worst possible circumstances. It’s a hard feeling to describe.
