Ignoring Favre for a moment

Lopez Lomong will carry the U.S. flag in the Olympic opening ceremonies.He was born in Sudan, separated from his parents at the point of a gun at age 6, and with the help of friends, escaped confinement and made it to a refugee camp in Kenya, then was brought to America as part of a program to relocate lost children from war-torn Sudan. He became a naturalized American citizen. He'll run the 1,500 meters.It is, in short, possibly the most American story you can think of, the type of story represented by the Statue of Liberty.So, of course, the mouth breathers say a "real Amurrican" should be the flag bearer.Jesus H. Pole-Vaulting Christ in a pair of Nikes, what idiots do we have in this country?
