Exactly. Our Founding Fathers were idealists, but were also realists and practical to boot.

What makes this country great (and the Europeans despise us) is that we want things that work, and we don't spend an inordinate amount of time (like the Europeans) pondering and ruminating and agonizing over concepts. We just do it.

Go-getters who took risks and rolled up their shirt-sleeves and just did it are what made this country great.
