Gosh, I love this country so much.

I remember being a kid, like when I was a really little kid, and thinking how lucky I was to be born here, and not in the Soviet Union.

Then in graduate school studying the founding fathers and thinking about what huge cajones these fellows had.

"And for the support of this Declaration, with a firm reliance on the protection of divine Providence, we mutually pledge to each other our Lives, our Fortunes and our sacred Honor."

Thank God the Constitution hadn't been written yet, the ACLU would have screamed that the conclusion violated the first Amendment.

Wow, those guys really had guts.
