This is very true, and a lot of conservatives and FReepers, especially the "economic conservatives" a.k.a. RiNO's, overlook that America is not just an economic experiment or a get-rich-quick scheme or a workshop in which highly-motivated acquisitors can realize their personal rant: "I MUST be allowed to achieve my destiny!!"
The American Experiment has social and political dimensions as well, and these too must be conserved for posterity by each generation.
Indeed. Marxist have been able to convince many that none of that matters. That everything is interchangeable and replicable. It is not Washington, Jefferson or Adams that mattered but just their ideas which are of course universal. That Chang, Garcia and Kunta Kinte could have and would have produced all that our founders did. The fact that did not and has not happened is just the evil white man keeping the world down.
