Those are the types of Americans we should be proud of IMO.

Are you suggesting that AMERICANS must all be proud of the same people and ONLY those same people?


I'd rather live in an America where one is free to be proud of Lincoln OR Booth. Now, I'll choose to be friends of the former...not the latter. But, GAWDDAMN, I do not want to have Americans have to display their pride in only the "committee sanctioned worthy" people.

I admit that I get a LITTLE discomforted by some of the "rebel flag" displaying things. But, I am thankful that I live in a place that allows others to do things that discomfort me.


My dad taught me that I have every right to be offended. But, NO ONE owes me a damned thing for it. Good people (defined as people I'd care to have as friends or at least think well of) will apologize because they are worthy of my friendship. But, not a damn one OWES it to me.
