Upon first impression, you'd think it was another patriotic country song and video: A man in a cowboy hat sits on the stairs of the Jefferson Memorial, singing earnestly about hard times. Guitars twang in the background. The refrain swells with lyrics about liberty and the Bible. But the scenes shift, and suddenly there's an Asian-American woman playing a cello in front of San Francisco's Golden Gate Bridge. Then: an all-black gospel choir belting out the song with New York's skyline for a backdrop, and then a man in a Muslim robe with Mount Rushmore just behind him and a woman in the prayer shawl of a Jewish cantor right beside him. Together they sing, "I'm a born-again American."


It's Garth Brooks-meets-We Are the World, and it's not the product of Nashville, but straight out of Hollywood and the imagination of Norman Lear.

liberal/progressive Americans are not enemies of the state, but patriotic Americans with a love of country and a commitment to American ideals.
