It feels different this time. There aren't any feelings to shout patriotic cliches or sing a song or shed a tear. Now the reminders bring ill feelings, reminders not only of what happened three years ago, but also reminders of the reality that we are participants in a war, of the mystery of what happened to our quest to take revenge on Osama, reminders that this election has caused us to fight as much with each other as with our enemy. I'm sick of George W., I'm sick of John Kerry, sick of Michael Moore, Swift Boaters, Chris Matthews, Zell "Pistols at Dawn" Miller, and this whole election season.
What happened to the cliche, "United We Stand"?
