I’m watching Hillary Clinton’s speeech right now, and she’s reminding me of Michelle Obama right now.  She’s talking about all the missed opportunities that we’ve had the last 7 years on the Supreme Court, environment issues, and education.  She talked about how her husband served 2 out of the 3 presidential terms that Democrats were elected to in the past 40 years.  It reminded me greatly of Michelle Obama’s comment that this is the first time in her life she is proud to be an American.

I think that type of comment is the exact opposite of what America needs.  I am always, and will always, be proud to be an American!  That is who I am.  For the people who are not proud to be an American, I ask why?  Why are you not proud to be an American?  You have freedoms and rights that many people do not enjoy.  Those rights and freedoms are enjoyed without regard to which political party occupies the Oval Office.

Don’t put partisan politics ahead of your love for your country.  We are Americans first and foremost.  Partisan political labels come second, or third, or fourth on that list.  Be proud of the country which you and I live in.  Be proud of the rights and freedoms we have.  Disagree with policies and politicians you don’t like, because that’s your right.

But love your country always.  Stand with me and be proud to be an American!
