On the Eve of a Great Spectacle...

...Ron Judd's Olympic Insider blog reports on a thrilling selection for the athlete chosen to bear our flag in the Opening Ceremonies. The choice, Lopez Lomong, is a man uniquely qualified to have the honor and represent that for which America stands.

1. Awesome story. Listen to how Lomong speaks of this country: with love and gratitude and awe. Now contrast that with the whiney american left: "This is just a mean country...blah blah blah"

This grateful american girl looks forward to seeing another grateful fellow american carrying our flag later this week. Whoo hoooooo! (and China, it would be nice if you'd stop persecuting christians and forcing women to have abortions....)

2. We should put all Progressives through the same naturalization process that Lomong went through. They might learn a thing or two about why this country is great. And more importantly they might learn some humility. Bravo to Lomong, a great American story. And as a runner, I will be watching his quest as well.
