Nor should we surrender the American flag. America is a great country, but it is not a perfect country. At times, Americans have been wrong in the past, present and will, at times, be wrong in the future. Americans are wrong on big issues sometimes. But part of what makes America great is the fact that things can be improved here and have been improved upon. We should not throw away every great accomplishment because of a few great mistakes.
Iterate. Excellent post.
