AMERICA: My Short Take

This political season began over a year ago, making it one of the longest political seasons yet. And that is optimistic; one could say the season began the minute GWB was sworn in for his second term as President of the United States of America. There comes a time, however, when politics should be set aside and we allow ourselves some unity at being one of the few citizens of the world who can truly call themselves American. Today I took an incredible walk along a wooden, American made, boardwalk on California’s scenic central coast. This is a great country and it was no small feat making it great. For all America’s purported evil the press slobbers about, seemingly countless people continue to want this country to be their home. Since this country is great, our feelings for her are of course passionate. We may argue tooth and nail with our political foes, nevertheless, enjoy the fact that we only argue and trade verbal barbs instead of bullets. This may change, war may be inevitable, I for one do not look forward to that day. So for today, I enjoy America and all the she is to us.
