Agree with everything you say. Let me expand on a few of your points.


Anthem and Bolt. The guy is awesome. But it also shows how a decent person should behave. If I'm in a foreign country (even an enemy country of ours), I'm standing for their anthem.

It reminds me of the people who attack Christmas. If I'm in another country, I'm celebrating their holidays. Or at the very least, I'm not going to insist that they stop their celebrations because I'm "offended".

The whole "people of color' monicker is making an infamous comeback because there's many people who want to piggyback on the past victimhood of the black experience in America. I'm convinced that Kap and his ilk have a bad case of sixties envy.

I too was in the service (USMC), and one of the greatest experience of my life was going places abroad that aren't on your typical vacation destination list. It taught me to appreciate the value of America. And it also taught me that people can be have great character and contentment without wealth.
