I've never been able to understand those that hate their own country. Lately, the news is full of the rantings of pompous, out-of-touch celebrities, poets, and academics who preach, scold, and malign us, our country, our way of life. I know that sometimes it gets me down and I wonder if I'd be happier if I wasn't informed, if I just let my eyes glaze over and believed everything Dan Rather told me on the evening news.
I think that's one of the best things about discovering blogs about a year ago -- it made me feel less isolated and more hopeful about the future. It's good to cruise around the web and find such good company. I've got to believe that the idiotarians won't prevail, I certainly pray they don't.
This latest by VDH was a perfect blog birthday gift.
I go home now :) I'm not sure this post is finished, but the call of my slippers won't be denied!

Made all the more unpalpable because these same prima dona's owe everything that they are, or have, to the very society they condemn. I don't go to movies much!
