“Since America has no common ethnic, religious or other “tribal” affiliations, the only thing that CAN hold us together is a commonly accepted definition of who we are.”

That, along with the U.S. Constitution.

“But I think it is an imperfect document, and I think it is a document that reflects some deep flaws in American culture, the Colonial culture nascent at that time.”

Barack Obama, Sept. 6, 2001

The definition of who we are accepted by most, till recently anyway, includes a belief in the principles of the Declaration of Independence and the framework for implementing those principles established by the Constitution.

“But I think it is an imperfect document, and I think it is a document that reflects some deep flaws in American culture, the Colonial culture nascent at that time.”

He is, of course, absolutely correct.

Somebody needs to explain to him about the perfect being the deadly enemy of the pretty damn good.
