Sharing it.

Two posts we read back-to-back that speak to our American exceptionalism that we wanted to share:

Americans, to me, are special people overall because they do say what they believe in, they take a stand, they zig when others zag whether it is throwing tea in Boston Harbor, rebuilding Europe after WWII, or pardoning a former president because it was the best interest of the nation to put things behind us. America is a place where you can screw up and make mistakes but if you come clean about things and change your behavior people will give you a second, third, or even forth chance if you are “that good.”

Read the rest here from Harrison.



And this from B-Daddy:

But then came the health care issue (or health finance issue, if you prefer). I posted earlier that this was the one initiative that we should make an all out effort to stop, because of its potential damage. I am proud that so many citizens felt the same way; that common sense over the vast intrusion against our liberty aroused huge portions of the population into action. This fight certainly isn't over, but that it is a fight affirms my faith in our Republic.

And what are we proud of? It may be small potatoes to some but we’re proud that about 30 of us at Hoffer’s the other night could’ve cared less that Michael Vick was making his endlessly-hyped return to football for the Philadelphia Eagles on T.V. that night and instead chose to root on some local 12-yr. olds in the Little League World Series. Talk about a palate-cleanser.
