"#28 = you confirm that Americans have only "a single option" -- which, apparently, is whatever your personal political preferences are."

It appears you are admitting that your personal political preferences diverge from mine, which I will state again:

"It took me a long time to conclude that AMERICANS have only a single option, and that option is to protect and preserve their birthright and to pass it on to the next generation un-scathed and un-diluted. Alas, we are failing, it seems."

A radical conclusion to you, I take it from your response.

Perhaps you don't understand what I'm trying to point out:

YOUR conclusion is that Americans are "failing" to "protect and preserve their birthright and pass it on to the next generation".

You say this, apparently, because YOU have political ideas and objectives that are not currently being adopted or implemented to your satisfaction.

However, other decent, honorable, patriotic Americans may have a different perspective and come to a DIFFERENT conclusion about what constitutes the "birthright" that they wish to pass on to the next generation. In short, other Americans can and do DISAGREE with your assertion that we are "failing" to protect and preserve our birthright. Those Americans probably also disagree with your notion about what is "undiluted" or "unscathed".
Since you speak only in vague generalities it is difficult to be more precise.

HOWEVER, you seem to be disappointed that YOUR agenda is not currently the prevailing point of view -- and you seem to want to dismiss ALL alternatives as unacceptable. In other words, we must agree with YOUR AGENDA (the "single option") or we are "failing".

Am I incorrect? If so, please correct my interpretation.
