a word on patriotism

Let me preface this by saying that this does not pertain to either political candidate that ran for the presidency this year. This is not based on my political opinions and I would say it regardless of the outcome. You can speculate who I voted for based on this but I am positive that any speculation will be wrong.

One of my good friends has a very very conservative, Republican grandma. She was openly a McCain supporter. However on Wednesday (I believe) she asked my friend if he had another Obama button, because she wanted to wear one since he was her new President and wanted to support him.

It gave me chills hear that.

That, my friends, is what true patriotism is.
