Something I have not done in a while...

There is something I have not done in a while, and that is to site a specific article for my readers to peruse. In today's National Review Online, Myrna Blyth writes a simple but profound article, as she normally seems to do. It is filled with mentions of children and America, as her articles always seem to have. It definitely got me thinking and made me feel a bit...ashamed. Read it and perhaps you will see why. Maybe just maybe it will stir something in you as well. Why do we have to be so gosh-darn submissive and quiet when it comes to public discourse on the love we have for our country. A redefining of patriotism is much, much needed. How is it that Yahoo can post a headline on their "In the News" block that reads, "Sailors' release proof of more pragmatic Iran", without putting an eroteme (that is the real name for a question mark, by the way) at the end of the line. Iran is the enemy for gosh sakes, who are these people kidding. I certainly know that there are those on the left who would not make muster...that is all...for now.
