I don’t read A Small Victory very often, she’s not in my blogroll (although she probably should be. Anyway, I was visiting mtpolitics where he made reference to an old post ASV did on “What’s Not To Like” about America. Solonor moved the project to it’s own blog, where each state is represented with a post and the chance to add a comment of your own.

As Solonor said:

I was afraid it would turn into an “America - Love It or Leave It” post. Blech. I love America from the tip of its little nose to the top of its little toes, but I can’t stand shouts of empty patriotism. I
should have known better…

I watched as the comments came rolling in. They weren’t like that at all.

They came with humor.
They came with neat links.
They came with insight.
For those that left home, they came with longing.
They came with pride.

They came with love.

NOTE: The stuff about my home state of Virginia is right on the money.
