Thank you, Eugene Robinson, for talking about the other "real Americans"

44. I'm sorry.

I am just sick of it. I don't know what it is about this city - the place where the founding documents of this nation were drafted - and why there is this overlay of abject hate and resentment about it. It permeates across the media and gets projected and magnified around the country, where we have basically been distilled down into a nonsensical handful of stereotypes about "cheese steaks", "throwing snowballs at Santa" and "Rocky", that get repeated over and over and over.

I'll never forget going to lunch near where I worked downtown (which was mere blocks from Independence Hall) and hearing one of the kids from some tourist family, asking his mom about where the Constitution was created and her response was "Boston".

Could be that the purveyors of propaganda don't like the intent of the documents produced here hundreds of years ago, so they are going to go about doing everything in their power to diminish this place in the eyes of the nation.
