The day America was born again..

some euro weenie thinks he has us all figured out...:laugh2:

Nothing Sarah Palin and her followers can do will prevent America's steady movement away from social conservatismJustin Webb
It doesn't matter who wins! Seriously, guys, America is about to become, once again, the coolest place on Earth.

An era is ending. If you still think the US is home to all that is fatty and unwholesome and militaristic and cloth-eared and generally low-grade, and not much else, it may be time to give the Yanks another chance.

Politically, socially, culturally, America is - as we watch transfixed and, in spite of ourselves, impressed - being born again.

Suddenly we are reminded of why 55 million people have chosen to come to America in the roughly 400 years since that journey became possible. We are reminded of why Americans are so deeply, annoyingly, attached to their nation and their system. We are reminded of how vibrant that system can be.

I hate to tell Mr. Webb but social conservatism is alive and well in the US. Tolerance does not necessarily equal concurance. There will always be two very different looking sides on any coin but the coin must be accepted anywhere in the country!
