There is no *I* in Amercan

Today while drinking my coffee and scrolling through my Twitter account, I see a tweet from Caleb Howe (who if you're not following, why the hell are you on Twitter in first place?), and in this tweet is a link to a post on Eyeblast TV about the Glenn Beck "Restoring Honor Rally" and Al Sharpton's "Reclaiming the Dream Rally". What made the post particularly tweet-worthy was a picture from the Sharpton Rally: See the banner? "American" is misspelled. Well, at first I just spit coffee on my monitor and said to no one in particular "and they call US stupid?" and I retweeted it for the humor.

But it soon began to dawn on me that the banner is a perfect metaphor for how the Left views America. They abhor the concept of individualism and stand beside those screaming about "Social Justice" and "The Common Good". They do not promote individual success or responsibility and cringe when anyone even mentions "The Rights of the Individual". Individuals are irrelevant in their world view and view of America. Everyone deserves the same stuff is a belief of the Left, while the Right believes everyone deserves the same opportunities to get stuff...whatever their big dreams are.

To the Left there really is no *I* in American and that banner should be shown at every Democrat campaign from here to November.

Sometimes stuff rumbles around in my brain that's longer than 140 characters and, well......twitlonger just seems like cheating. :)
