I think it is always hard to remember your blessings when you feel like you're trapped in a car with a drunk. We, as Americans, do indeed have much to be thankful for. That our country seems to hang in there pretty well even with idiots at the wheel is quite amazing.
But, we just can't seem to leave well enough alone sometimes! Heck, we revolted against England over some measly taxes!?!
We brought about impeachment proceedings against a president for lying about....wait for it....SEX!
So, now we have a new president-elect and the next four years may play out like a extended episode of 'My Name is Earl'.....
Invaded wrong country under false pretenses....oh, uh, sorry about that.
Forgot we signed the Geneva Convention....ok, wait, we can explain that.
Forgot about a entire city....now just hold on there! We were going back to New Orleans next year!
Point is, we DO live in a great country and our leaders(whatever their party) deserve to hear it when they screw up. It's really our duty to let them hear it!
