My latest at The Stir:
President Obama delivered the commencement speech last Saturday at the US Military Academy at West Point, attempting to fill the new graduates with hopey-changey optimism by eluding to a new world order.
I’m sure that most of those military types were scratching their heads.
It’s hard to get into West Point. You have to really, really want to go there, you have to be super-strong and whip smart, and above all, you have to love America and promise to defend it to the death. It’s not exactly a place for pansies, as well suited as a pansy might be elsewhere. Say in a pink tank top on her couch with her laptop clacking out a post on American exceptionalism for The Stir.
Yeah, you heard me. I’m a pansy. At least when stacked against a West Point graduate. But I do love America, and I will fight to the hard drive death for it.
