Re: another bump
Bravo, Foodstamp! It takes guts to speak up and defend something that everyone else is making fun of, even good-naturedly. What's more, encouraging national pride is the best way to strengthen national ideals.
"I learned that it is the weak who are cruel, and that mercy is only to be expected from the strong." (Leo Rosten) America has always responded generously to praise and gratitude, but ingratitude is a poison. Much as we pretend it doesn't matter to us, America really does want to be liked.
