RNC will celebrate America

Don Surber


"On 9/11 with the world worried and Congress in no position to do anything, 78 congressmen gathered and sang "God Bless America" on national TV. I liked it. It showed a sense of community. I wish that lasted longer.
"Americans love America. That's the dirty little secret.
"Hippies back in the 1960s loved America. They saw themselves as Americans actually using the freedoms Americans have. Jimi Hendrix played the Star Spangled Banner at Woodstock.
"This is a great country, and everyone born here is lucky and knows it. Systemic racism? Gimme a break. I am the same age as Oprah Winfrey. She is a billionaire. She should be ashamed of lying like that.
"People from Cuba get in little rubber rafts to brave the ocean to come here.
"That is a tradition that predates the Pilgrims who spent 66 days in the tiny wooden Mayflower to get here. My sister tells me one of them is an ancestor. Nearly 3 centuries later, the last of my ancestors arrived via steerage in Baltimore.
"The people in DC overlook this fact that Americans love America, which is why the press and the politicians keep getting elections wrong." . . .
