Pignanelli & Webb: Utah politicos have many reasons to be thankful
2 comments | Read story
The only comment I have to make is an heretical question: Is 'America' really the "greatest country on the planet"? I believe it was once but one would have to go back to the days of Andrew Jackson or before to experience it. To think it still so is, in my view, to be lifted up in the pride and imagination of one's own heart - not a good guide.
The true patriot today is, I feel, one who is anxious to restore America's singular greatness rather than to overly extol a nation that is now somewhat on a par with other liberal democracies of the West. Gratitude should be, as the article inconsistently states, "humble". It should be directed to God's kindness, counsel and forbearance rather than a self-congratulatory pat of one's own back.

I'm very sad the Chris Buttars won again and is already reeking havoc in the Senate!! I'm upset that Utah Lawmakers are not serious about ethics reform and good open government. Maybe, I can be more thankful next Thanksgiving after we vote out Bramble, Buttars, and Greg Hughes. We can always hope!!
