Every now and then it just pops into my head to go and see what you're all talking about, and even though I know half of it is going nowhere, I still just want to know what you're all up to. Sometimes I think I've turned into a proper nutjob, but then I think it all through again, and I think. nope, the way its being spun everywhere else just doesn't quite add up. If I'm mad, at least I feel like I've got interesting company...

Where are you? I'm Canadian and feel the same way. I prefer to refer to myself as a Western patriot than a Canadian one.
British... After 9/11 I got sucked into the whole "why does the world hate America?" blackhole, and spent nearly 20 years there. It was Niall Ferguson who got me really thinking about what American is again. He said, if an alien race came to this planet and you had to describe America to them, you wouldn't describe it as something founded on racism, you would describe it as an experiment in government, and that was the beginning of me falling in love with America... And then the trump trains... they just blew me away - that solidarity and celebration - I'd never seen it before.
