The US is the biggest guy in the classroom who others look to for leadership and high standards. It can--and should--be emotionally confident enough to handle the flaks that come with it. It's unbecoming of 'the big fella' IMO to be a whinging wuss. It's better just to brush off the sleeves of any crap, admit mistakes and rectify them where made if damage results, and be a good neighbour.

Right. But, it's good ammo against my brother, so I will remember it.  Although, he is a thinking liberal, so I doubt he will try that tactic, anyway.

But remember too, that they are more than just words. They are a way of life. So whenever you speak them, speak them firmly, speak them proudly, speak them gratefully. I am an American. ...a tradition
