I just can't turn her statement into ashamed, sounds like you can. |

Why ask me? I didn't try to do that. But I can see how it could be done. Even by you if you saw it that way. Being proud of a country for finally having hope could imply being ashamed of it during the time when it had none. Are you ashamed of your children when they act despicably? |

Apparently you can't refute my "spin." Kinda makes the "spin" fairly accurate. |
