Hollywood has come out of the woodwork pledging “to be of service to our President.” Isn’t it great that it is cool again to be American? One has to wonder where Ashton and Demi were a week, a month, or a few years ago. And would they be so enthusiastic if things had gone different on November 4th?
Victor Davis Hanson has An Uneasy Feeling:
“So I am surprised that suddenly the election of a single individual means that we are united, patriotic, proud of America? Suddenly Okinawa or Antietam, or all those who died at the Argonne, are ours to claim again? (This reminds of elementary school, when our third-grade split up into two sides, as the teacher quizzed us on geography–and the losers of the contest cried and said unfair and how they didn’t like school or Mrs. Wilson, and then when they won the next day, how suddenly third grade became glorious, and Mrs. Wilson and her games were once again wonderful).”
