“Say what you want and ridicule me the way our president does, but this naturalized citizen is looking over her shoulder on this Independence Day.”
Europeans like you just can’t adapt right away. The luggage they carry is heavy. Stick to your ideals but forget your oppressive past.
This is something you wrote:
“I was a bit surprised to hear former Homeland Secretary Tom Ridge echo President Obama’s criticism of Rush Limbaugh by calling him “shrill” and “divisive” recently. Then Sen. John Cronyn joined in the Rush-bashing over Limbaugh’s use of the word “racist” for self-described “wise Latina woman” judge Sonia Sotomayor. I do not recall ever being enlightened or inspired by these politicians.
On the other hand, as I’ve driven to teach afternoon classes I’ve enjoyed the insights and wit from Limbaugh. I am always impressed by his ability to apply historical figures, ideas, events, and constitutional principles.
This is what I miss about my profession as a college instructor. Rarely am I able to discuss ideas with my colleagues; indeed, I dare not speak my opinion nor say anything positive about any figures on the left’s “hit list.”
Yes, indeed. You still cling to your oppressive past. It’s not going to help you. You still don’t know what freedom is.
