It is a common mistake/oversight to use the word "All" in a posting and somehow expect that everyone you refer to will get the word. Even if you put "All" in the "To:" box of a reply it will not get the job done.The point about conserving the revolution and America as exemplar was particularly illuminating.If you hope to get replies to a reply, you must see that the FR handle of each poster is explicit in the "To:" box of your reply. I have taken the trouble to do that for you, above.
I refer you to The Theme Is Freedom: Religion, Politics, and the American Tradition by M. Stanton Evans.Further recommended reading: American Beliefs by John McElroy.
And anything written by Thomas Sowell (and he has written a lot) will be illuminating. See especially his recent book, Black Rednecks and White Liberals (note that Professor Sowell is black).
Just a note. As an historian, what I see now is the flowering of the British empire as Engliish fast becomes the lingua franca. Someone should help the British feel enormously gratified, instead of referring to themselves a just a poor litle country.
