Proud to be an American

I was the unfortunate recipient of a piece of trash e-mail sent to me by a friend who I am confident did so not because he thought I would appreciate it for what it puprorted to be (a "good read"), but as an example of the fact that ignorance can still be found in our fair country. I won't reproduce the e-mail, but I will reproduce the response I sent to the person who seems to have started the daisy chain of forwarded e-mails.

"William:

I don't know who you are, but you ought to be ashamed of yourself for sending out such hogwash. You said "good read", so I have strong doubts about what else you consider a good read and what, exactly, your yardstick is. The e-mail you forwarded was written by someone who appears to be racist, bigoted, misogynistic and obviously quite ignorant.
Americans can stand proud, confident in the fact that all of its promises, as embodied in the Declaration and Constitution and other founding documents, are really true. Americans have followed through and not just paid lip service; we're walking the walk and not just talking the talk. We've put our money where our collective mouths are. Now, we can expect to see some of the excesses and failures of the past corrected; or at least an attempt made to correct them.
Most Americans know that our system of government is the best around and even though not perfect it is capable of being perfected. Recent events have demonstrated this admirably."

Here I though the crap that was being sent around before the election was finally over. Boy, was I wrong!
