"He looks happy, doesn't he?"
He's just grumpy because he got one of the dinky flags.
I'm curious, but not motivated enough to do the research:
How many of those lambasting me with Founding Father quotes, the stirring speeches on liberty, and all the rest, supported selling Elian back down the river into slavery just because his father lived there?
Try to imagine someone in Canada during the 1800s tearing an escaped black child away from relatives and shipping him back down to Alabama because his father was still in chains down there.
As you say, not America's finest hour.
