Someone explain to me, what great message am I missing here? All I see is a lib that is whimping at not being able to support her child, emotionally. http://www.salon.com/mwt/feature/2006/04/17/narrowsburg/index.html
I think what all of us can take away from this is that those of us who don't live in the greatly enlightend cities of the US are the ones putting forth the effort to maintain our Patriotism, and also make sure our children nderstand that freedom does have a price. The cities like Manahattan obviously are lacking in this are and are more into material goods. Like she said her son no longer likes red, white, and blue but instead likes his Xbox. Oh well....
I stopped reading about 3/4 of the way through the article. That woman is a perfect poster-child of liberalism. Pessimistic and spoon-feeding it to her children. One-sided, and full of complaints. Makes me proud to be a conservative.
This is low? I wish Alexander County, Illinois was that well off. I grew up in that demographically challenged county. This the parents fault, for not teaching this child the value of the country that he lives in and what those colors mean.
Yeah 45 grand ain't bad. I hope the author wasn't trying to dig for sympathy. I have little or no sympathy to offer people for their own consious mistakes.
I figured it would be a liberal screed when she called "God Bless the USA" "the trucker's anthem," as if truckers were somehow ignorant swine.
And sad for her son and everyone else who she has managed to relegate to retard status (she calls it innocence)at his desire and their desire to be patriotic. :duh3: Oh well
