Profiles in Countermoonbattery: Kobe Bryant

Posted by Dave Blount at August 17, 2008 8:58 PM

It is possible to be rich and famous without being a moonbat and an ingrate. Via Gateway Pundit, here's NBC announcer Chris Collinsworth interviewing basketball star Kobe Bryant:

Collinsworth: Tell the story when you first got your USA uniform.

Kobe: Well I had goosebumps and I actually just looked at it for awhile. I just held it there and I laid it across my bed and I just stared at it for a few minutes; just because as a kid growing up this is the ultimate, ultimate in basketball.

Collinsworth: Where does the patriotism come from inside of you? Historically, what is it?

Kobe: Well, you know it's just our country, it's… we believe is the greatest country in the world. It has given us so many great opportunities, and it's just a sense of pride that you have; that you say "You know what? Our country is the best!"

Collinsworth: Is that a 'cool' thing to say, in this day and age? That you love your country, and that you're fighting for the red, white and blue? It seems sort of like a day gone by(?)

Kobe: No, it's a cool thing for me to say. I feel great about it, and I'm not ashamed to say it. I mean, this is a tremendous honor.

Appallingly, it took courage for Bryant to admit to not being ashamed to represent America, so thoroughly has moonbattery turned us against ourselves.
