Hillary’s playing (awkwardly) for Team America

When freedom hangs by a thread…

“We’re going to knock balls out of the country’s park,” [Hillary Clinton] says, standing in a minor-league baseball stadium, “for the home team, which is America”

Aside from this being the worst sports analogy of all time, Hillary continues to wrap herself in the flag with this one. After the past 8 years, I think we can do without the sophomoric jingoism: ‘Smash OPEC. Obliterate Iran. Go America!’ Do we want another rabble-rouser for a president?

Besides, nobody really wants to experience the pain associated with a potential Hillary-McCain patriotism-off, right?
