The problem with liberals is they joyfully focus on the darker episodes in our history, browbeating Americans for political purposes.
Americans need to remember what a remarkable country this is when looked at in the context of human history, and how justifiably proud they should be of their past.
I watched the 'Revolutionary War' series on the Military Channel over the holiday. The narrative was replete with sly messages and subtle hints about hidden motives and questions concerning Americans' moral character. Always with a grain of truth perhaps, but always there whether relevant or not.
I used to allow such propaganda to color my impression of the past as well. Then I dug a little deeper. And the deeper a person digs into our history, the more obvious what a good people we are. Imperfect, but remarkable.
That was beautifully written and I completely agree.
We don’t need “fixing”. Those that look to other nations for examples on how to fix us ... they will fix us until we’re broke and broken.
