You can be an American if you don’t like baseball and apple pie. You can be an American if you don’t like Scott Joplin and chili dogs. You can be an American if you don’t enjoy Louis Armstrong and Selena. It’s just that you might be a wee bit more American if you did so. There is an American culture.
But it’s not a white culture or a black culture or a Mexican culture. That’s why the American who sincerely hates multiculturalism is something less than an American.
Never in a million years did I think I would admire a GWB speech !
Trump is a disaster for all Americans, but for Dubya there is at least a silver lining. Trump makes Dubya look like an intellectual.
Sure does.
Gotta love this article.
