US Politcs, Outside the US
Sunday, May 18th, 2008I’m not really sure how to preface this post, but, suffice it to say, the title of the linked article caught my attention. I may not agree with everything that our president does with this country, but I sure am proud of this country. A lot of people make very uninformed arguments about a lot of things. But when you’re talking about the stability of the world, learn before you speak.
Americans abroad can thank George W. Bush for sharpening our survival skills. We have weathered a sea of anti-Iraq war protests and had the intelligence of our president and those who voted for him questioned more times than we care to remember.
In my hometown of San Francisco, Bush supporters are called all sorts of names, and I rarely bother with defending them. When abroad, however, I feel a patriotic duty to try to explain the political views of those with whom I adamantly disagree.
