Ben Stein: American Patriot

Yet another famous guy (who I personally like) to appreciate: Ben Stein.

I heard him on the Tony Snow Show just coming home tonight, and quite frankly, he was able to point out something I've never noticed......

There are largely two types of people in this country. Those who are, for the most part, at peace with their lives, and regularly happy, even in not-so-perfect circumstances. They surprisingly are for the most part Republicans.

Then there are those with an inner rage within. Those who see a problem with the world, and rage at themselves and others to fix it. They surprisingly are for the most part Democrats.

It hit me at first. I thought it was something new, but I should have realized it many years ago. If Bush lost the election in 2000, he would go back to his Crawford ranch, a little off, may be somewhat depressed, but turn around, hold a barbecue with his friends and go back to his life. He would be happy.

Gore lost, and went mental. Go figure.

It's under the Tony Snow Show website as "Dems are Just Angry People", and you know what? He's right.

Now as to why he's a patriot--he is mystified at how people could hate this country. He calls this country the true land of promise, and this form of government 'God's Best Gift to Mankind.' He loves this country and for the most part, supports Bush.

I've always liked Ben Stein. Now I have another reason to like him.

If only I could win some of Ben Stein's Money.
