On the above view, the United States was always doomed to merely marginal achievements where justice, equality and freedom are concerned.

The problem here is this writer's, and the rest of the "progressive" left's, definitions of justice, equality and freedom.

To a person who supports a republican form of government (as guaranteed by our Constitution):

Justice means being treated the same under the law as everyone else, not being given special treatment because of one's 'victim' status.

Equality means being guaranteed equality of opportunity, not being guaranteed equality of outcome.

Freedom means being free to pursue by one's own efforts the trappings of a good and happy life, not having the government give one free stuff it has seized from the people who earned it.

GREAT definitions. Did you borrow a quote, or are those your ad-hoc thoughts? I’ve already shared with others, and just want to know if attribution is necessary.
