I am looking like a jack-ass. And I apologize for my rush to judgement. Please accept my apology, one and all. It IS a great post - a great article. Intelligent in every repect. I first scanned it and saw so many sentences reading like this: "To be against America is to be on the right side of history; to be for it is to be on the wrong side." I too quickly concluded it was another anti-American piece.
It is not. It is educational. I learned much.
To all my friends who so helpfully caught up with me and so tactfully made me take a second (or third) look, Thank You.
An honorable thing it is for you to admit you were wrong and not even try to one-up my rather harsh post.
The vast majority of us have been there, sometimes with issues of much greater import than the actual meaning of an article.
Apology accepted but what I'm more glad for is that you were able to appreciate the insights available in this piece.
