There has been only one day that I can remember in my nearly sixty-two years of life that I honestly felt ashamed to call myself an American. That was the day Elian Gonzales was returned to the devil's island known as Cuba.

The light from the Lady's torch was snuffed and the inscription:

Give me your tired, your poor,
Your huddled masses yearning to breathe free...

was rubbish.

Thanks Bill, Hill and Janet.

As a Cuban American myself, I would urge you to think that over. There is no reason for you or anybody else to ever be ashamed to call yourself an American.

Bill Clinton was not and is not "America". America is many things including the system of Government whereby America has the right to elect political mistakes and then correct those mistakes on the next Election Day.

Today, Clinton is no longer a powerful man but, rather, a pathetic private citizen that will be the punchline in countless jokes well into the 22nd Century.

America did just fine.

Dittoes. Except there was a second day even more poignant, and that was the day the masked storm troopers bashed into the Gonzalez house and took a frightened child by force.
