Perhaps there are great differences between the ideas embraced and openly expressed by the nation's leadership then and now which ought to be examined and contemplated as to their value and impact on the citizenry and its attitudes.

"January 6, 1942 "Our enemies are guided by brutal cynicism, by unholy contempt for the human race. We are inspired by a faith that goes back through all the years to the first chapter of the Book of Genesis: "God created man in His own image." We on our side are striving to be true to that divine heritage. We are fighting, as our fathers have fought, to uphold the doctrine that all men are equal in the sight of God. Those on the other side are striving to destroy this deep belief and to create a world in their own image—a world of tyranny and cruelty and serfdom. That is the conflict that day and night now pervades our lives. No compromise can end that conflict. There never has been—there never can be—successful compromise between good and evil. Only total victory can reward the champions of tolerance, and decency, and freedom, and faith." - President Franklin D. Roosevelt, SOTU, 1942

Would love for a public figure to say this live on air, wait for the inevitable outrage from the chattering class, and then tell them it’s a FDR quote. The sounds you next hear are liberal heads exploding.
