Patriotism

Patriotism, originally uploaded by DeHoll.

Since 1980, Republican candidates and some elected officials have been able to wrap themselves in the flag and campaign as those they were the party of patriots.

The passions for Democratic candidates and the role of the common man in two wars half a world away makes that impossible in 2008.

Confronting the problems facing the nation put us all in this together.
If the crises left by the outgoing administration have done nothing else, they have made people look at their neighbors and say maybe we can help each other.

I too sing America!

Nuff said.
