Happy Belated Constitution Day

This is going to have slightly less pessimism than my posts usually do. Or, I hope it will. I kind of lost my optimism somewhere on or after January 20, 2009. Crap, I'm doing it again. This is harder than I thought. Maybe it would be easier if I didn't have so much to be pessimistic about. No, never mind, the world is full of optimism. Today is a new day, Constitution Day was two days ago, and we finally have a President who's on the right track (did I mention I got a pet unicorn?). Okay, never mind. I can't do this. Optimism and denying reality are two very different things.

But seriously, there is something to be optimistic about. Obama confirmed that Wilson's outburst and healthcare criticism in general is not about race, but about--of all things--healthcare. So, Maureen Dowd and all those other liberal I-don't-care-if-it-has-to-do-with-race-he's-black-so-you're-racist fanatics have been dissed by their Almighty Obama. At least he knows that we disagree with him because he's a lunatic and not because of the color of his skin.

And also, I think America is finally starting to REALIZE he's a lunatic, no matter what color he is. So. That's a plus. No more brainwashed citizens. I think we see past the smooth talk. Some of us.

So anyway. Happy Constitution Day two days late. To celebrate, tell your grandparents you love them (you respected your elders in 1787). Tell your children you love them (enough to have had them). If you're a girl tell your husband, if you're a guy tell your wife, "I love you." Tell America you love it by excercising your freedoms and doing something to save it.

And tell the government:

I love America. It's you guys I worry about (and therefore I worry about America, too, I guess).

Ever heard the song "Love Train"? I want to know if that guy's on, like, Valium or something. Are you kidding me? We should try to love everyone, yeah, but sometimes you have to stand up for those you love, for what you believe in. Some people, like the people who killed 3,000 on September 11, 2001, need to be shown a thing or two. It's not hate. It's justice.

Tell America you love it. There's a lot of love going around, it's just directed wrong, like at terrorists, Muslims, illegals, Cuba, and all those people who hate us.
