Well that's just great in and of itself!!!


I'll accept that she meant it literally, in the context given
(politics).

If she's 44, and "adult life" starts at 18, that means 26 years. 26
years ago (1982) the republicans had started decimating the country
under Reagan. Since then, we have had the "republican revolution",
expensive witch hunts over Clinton's Whitewater dealings, which turned
up nothing, extreme partisanship initiated by the "no compromises, no
prisoners" republican party and the bushie/cheney disasters of the
last eight years (how often were they even *mentioned* at the GOP
convention? LOL!).


I guess she didn't feel proud during Clinton's terms!!!
Having pride in on'e country should not be a vacillating
thing. Not something sporadic that would change form year to year,
or be dependent on any particular administration. Pride covers all our
history,
our accomplishments, our instituions, our Constitution,
our whole society.


In the context of what she said (people coming together for common
issues, having hope for a better future, etc.) what she said makes
perfect sense, unless your thought process is clouded by ideology,
racism, or beer and stupid pills.- Ascunde citatul -


It makes sense that she is proud, but not that it
is the first time she is proud.
