Fortunately, that statement was made in the past. As it is no longer the past, I review it in the light of the present.
First, I'll note the warning issued in this thread by my good colleague, analog:

to wit: "Rudeness, pettiness, and general show-boating-type behavior will be sternly dealt with."

Fortunately, as well, there are priorities involved in what aspects of the past - as seen in the light of the present - I choose to honor.
For those of you having a great need to see my ass, I refer you to the proper forum here. As for the statement, "We Won." The priority here is to indicate that it is true as far as it may connote our ongoing collective identity as constituents in the great experiment that is The United States of America.
