I was a little late coming to it myself - being force fed flags and a sort of turn-a-blind-eye patriotism when I was a youngster kind of triggered my stubborn streak and I wanted nothing to do with it - but...I think I know exactly how you feel. And yeah, it's a little scary when it strikes RIGHT OUT OF THE CLEAR BLUE SKY like that. I was driving, and I had to pull over so I could sob with joy for a little bit >_>
Yeah, it is. Especially since I've grown up around 'fair weather' patriotism. Realizing that I love America so much regardless of how bad it's gotten or is going to get or has been is kind of a shock. A good one, though.
And yay for 'needs-to-pull-the-car-over-joy!' There's really nothing like it. 8D
Yes, yes, kickass Freedom of Speech. It needs more love.
