For 35 of the past 41 years, I've lived in small towns (under 35,000) in Ohio, Indiana and Idaho. My closest neighbors have included immigrants who owned their own restaurant; a family of 13 who belong to a Christian church that prohibits its members from watching TV and required girls to wear dresses; and a family apparently immune to the constant barking of their dogs. I've hunted both elk and deer successfully. I've owned my own small business, which employed one part-time worker. Until this month, it had been 29 years since my husband or I had employer-provided health insurance.
So, as someone who, I think, qualifies as being from the "pro-America" parts of this country, let me tell you what I believe are "pro-America" values.
I believe the values that make us most "American" are those embedded in the Bill of Rights of the U.S. Constitution.
