Where Did You Get That Idea?
By Kleinheider Posted on May 15, 2008 at 5:49 pmBill Hobbs is proud:
Because America has always been more than a country, more than a nation, more than a territory with borders and a flag. America is an idea, that all people are created equal and deserve to live in freedom. It is the only country on Earth built on that foundation. Has it always lived up perfectly to those ideals? No. Will it in the future? No. Because while the American ideal is great, America is made up of people, and people make mistakes and do things they shouldn’t do.

Aunt B. thinks Hobbs may be brought us by the same folks who gave us the Onion.
